Shango (also spelled Sango or Chango) is a deity in the Yoruba religion of West Africa, known as a god of thunder, lightning, fire, and justice. He is one of the most revered and powerful orishas (deities) in the Yoruba pantheon. Shango is often depicted as a warrior king, wielding a double-headed axe called an oshe Shango, which symbolizes his power and authority. He is also associated with drumming, dancing, and the arts, reflecting his vibrant and dynamic nature. In the Yoruba language, his name is Ṣàngó, which translates to "he who strikes like lightning." In Hebrew, he is sometimes referred to as שנגו, though this is not a direct translation. In the diaspora, particularly in Cuba, Brazil, and the Caribbean, Shango is a central figure in religions like Santería and Candomblé, where he is known as Santa Bárbara or Xangô, respectively. His worship involves elaborate rituals, drumming, and dance, celebrating his role as a protector and a bringer of justice.
