Shango: Orisha of Justice and Protection
Call upon the Orisha Shango, known as the "King of Santeria", when you are in need of justice or protection and guidance in matters of love,...
The Pilón for Shango is a powerful altar piece and ritual tool used in Santería and other Yoruba-based traditions to honor Shango—the Orisha of thunder, lightning, drums, and justice. Traditionally carved from wood and featuring symbolic carvings or colors associated with Shango, the pilón serves as a spiritual anchor for offerings, prayers, and energetic work. It may be used during ceremonies involving rhythm, fire, or divine intervention, and is often placed beside drums, double axes, and red-and-white altar elements to enhance Shango’s presence. The pilón symbolizes strength, rhythm, and the righteous authority of divine masculine energy.
