Ogún is the Orisha of iron, war, labor, and the forest. In his dance he portrays a warrior with a machete or a blacksmith with a hammer.
According to EcuRed, Ogún's dance has two mimes. The warlike one: he brandishes a machete and dances bent over, stepping forward on one foot while dragging the other. The laborious one: he mimes a blacksmith swinging a hammer onto the anvil.
According to EcuRed, the machete is his object of power; tools, chains, weapons and knives also belong to him. His colours are green, black and purple. He wears a purple waistcoat and trousers, a flat cap, a belt with long palm fibres and a tiger-skin bag decorated with cowrie shells.
According to EcuRed, Ogún forms a trio with Elegguá and Ochosi; together with Osun they are called the Guerreros (warriors). Ogún and Ochosi live together in one iron cauldron.
Toques: in the oru seco Ogún receives his own toque, simply called Ogún; see the Ogún toque.
