Shango - The Lord of the Gods in Yoruba Mythology

[@gerardrbain1972]

Shango is very popular in the Caribbean.

[@Knottyautumn]

My grandmother practiced it and she’s long gone. I wish I could ask her what made her convert to Christianity before she passed

[@akilahbrooklyn8236]

@@Knottyautumn My maternal grandmother was a devout Catholic. However, she still listened to Rara music (which is very popular with Vodou practitioners in Haiti). This was also applicable to my paternal grandmother. She was also a Christian. But also maintained strong ties to the vodou tradition. If I had to take an educated guess? There will always be a 'dual' innate need for ancestral identity as well as eternal salvation. I hope this will shed some light on your 'unanswered' question.

true dat!!!

[@jamesobed9395]

It’s amazing watching a mythological story on my culture… ❤❤❤

[@DENETRIATURNER]

it not mythology

[@clarkparker4860]

This is extraordinary! Somehow I don't hear much about African mythology.

[@hosannaakhibi1632]

I need more African mythology like this especially more of the Yoruba's. Nice research and work on them though. Truly amazing

[@baronghede2365]

I am a practitioner of vodoun and Shango is the King of the Lwe/Loa, Blessed Be.

[@Blackgoldart1]

I saw your comment while watching this video. What is Lwe/Loa? Is it the name of a people, a family or a "tribe"?

[@baronghede2365]

Lwe/Loa, are the "God's" spirits, of vodoun that are involved in helping people in daily life, they were created by the "God" Damballa, Blessed Be.

[@Ale-hf6iw]

You are meant to be destroyed

[@baronghede2365]

Ale: get the gas can and the matches ready because this male witch is willing to burn, Blessed Be.

Shango is badass so amazing

[@Outtdogg11]

Yoruba man here 😊, similar to Thor the God of thunder

[@kgema89]

Lol not similar they got that from the Black myths. Don't be fooled they even show the Vikings had contact with Africa and other Black continents and if you look to deep you'll discover who the original people of Scandinavia was ✊🏿. Don't fall for their stuff or make our stuff equal because it's not that stole or remixed stuff from their BLACK ancestors 😂

[@wolfsbanealphas617]

In trail of apollo Lester mentions meeting a demigod from Yoruba myth who had red lighting

[@roamor5528]

I thought Olorun (God of the sky) is the leader of the Yoruba myth. While Shango/Oramfe is the god of thunder, it is Orunmila who is the God of wisdom and divinity (son of Olorun)

[@TheNerdyBrew]

More of this please

[@masonsnouffer4258]

Do the creation myth!! You know, Olorun, golden chain, Obatala, Olokun, men from clay?!

[@milutinstankovic4638]

I wanna see Perun and Veles, archenemies, Gods from Slavic mythology

[@ivanfourie]

finally you covered my favorite one

[@kinman3051]

I've only heard of Olorun thanks to Smite. Do a video on the others in the pantheon please

⚡️Lol I never practiced santeria but remembering going with my aunt to one of there ceremony’s they told I was a son of shango I mean in terms of characteristics they gave me red and white beads 🔥 any body can explain more what this means I practice just not santeria ?

Do obatala next

[@phantomeye5199]

0:00 Wow. This is Shango and set on the Throne. That was quite good. 0:44 What the!? Did Shango was holding a lighting bolt like Zeus do! No one can wield the power of lighting! 1:05 Join the party celebrating music and dance. 1:36 Two guys appear to Shango. 2:00 Wow Shango was angry and ride on beast. 👏👏 Wow that was amazing story of Shango The Lord of the Gods in Yoruba Mythology. Now that was totally amazing in history.

Songo is not the king of the gods. Olorun or olodumare is king of the gods. Shong is far from the king of the gods, obatala is the next after olodumare. Then the listen go on please make a solid finding before make this videos

So I’m assuming this is this the Hindu god of the gods
