Aggayu

Aggayú is the Orisha of volcanos, he is very much a protective father Orisha who supports and lends strength to a person’s life, and is considered the cane or “support” of a person’s osha. Aggayú wields a unique double axe with an anchor-like handle as his tool. He teaches us the importance of being strong, steady and level-headed in life, and he supports us through trials and tribulations. Aggayu is responsible for creating new land through the forces of vulcanism, plate tectonics and through sediment being washed down rivers and deposited in new areas.
