The Iron Cannonball, or Bola de Hierro, is a potent ritual object deeply rooted in African Diaspora traditions. Most commonly associated with the Orisha Ogun—the deity of iron, warfare, and labor—this solid sphere symbolizes force, endurance, and spiritual armor. It is often placed on altars, used in offerings, or employed in energetic work to destroy negativity and open blocked paths. The cannonball’s weight anchors your intentions while its material draws Ogun’s protection and transformational energy. Ideal for practitioners seeking to empower rituals, break through resistance, or honor the force of iron in their spiritual work.
