Meet the powerful warrior Arishas
0:02
brought to you by Arishia Oasis TV.

Let's dive right in. Have you ever felt
0:07
like you're at a crossroads unsure of
0:09
which path to take? Or maybe you faced a
0:12
challenge so big it felt like a mountain
0:14
needing immense strength to overcome. In
0:16
the spiritual traditions of the Yoruba
0:18
people of West Africa and in practices
0:20
like Centuria and Kendbul, there's a
0:23
powerful trio of orishas known as the
0:26
warriors or guerras who guide us through
0:28
these very moments. Their names are
0:30
Allegua, Ogan, and Okosi. And their
0:33
stories are as fascinating as they are
0:35
powerful. Let's start with Allegua, the
0:38
messenger, the trickster, and the owner
0:40
of all roads and opportunities. Imagine
0:42
him as a playful but wise old man, or
0:44
sometimes a mischievous child. He stands
0:47
at the spiritual crossroads, holding the
0:49
keys to the past, present, and future.
0:52
Nothing can happen without his
0:54
permission. He opens the doors to
0:56
success and closes them to failure. When
0:59
you feel stuck, unable to move forward,
1:00
it's Allegua who can clear the path. He
1:03
teaches us that every choice we make,
1:05
every road we take shapes our destiny.
1:07
He's the first orisha to be honored in
1:09
any ceremony because without him, the
1:11
lines of communication to the other
1:13
orishas are closed. His colors are red
1:16
and black, symbolizing the dynamic
1:18
balance of life and death, beginnings
1:20
and endings. Next in this powerful
1:22
alliance is Oen. If Alua opens the path,
1:25
Ogan clears it with his machete. Ogan is
1:28
the orisha of iron, war, and labor. He
1:31
is the divine blacksmith, the spirit of
1:34
technology and the relentless force that
1:36
drives civilization forward. Think of
1:38
everything made of metal, cars, trains,
1:40
tools, surgical instruments. That's all
1:43
Ogen's domain. He represents raw power,
1:46
hard work, and the unyielding
1:48
determination to overcome any obstacle.
1:51
His energy is fierce and direct. When
1:53
you need the strength to fight for what
1:55
you believe in, to cut through
1:57
negativity or simply to get a tough job
1:59
done, you call on Oen. He's the
2:01
embodiment of grit and perseverance. He
2:04
doesn't just wait for things to happen.
2:06
He forges his own destiny with fire and
2:08
steel. The third warrior is Okosi, the
2:11
divine hunter and scout. While Ogen
2:14
clears the path with brute force, Okosi
2:16
provides strategy, focus, and justice.
2:19
He is the master archer whose arrow
2:21
never misses its mark. Okosi represents
2:24
the relentless pursuit of a goal, the
2:26
ability to aim for what you want with
2:28
pinpoint accuracy. He is the patron of
2:32
those who seek justice, the police, and
2:34
anyone who lives by their wits and sharp
2:36
senses. Okosi teaches us to be patient,
2:39
to observe our surroundings, and to
2:41
strike at the perfect moment. He ensures
2:43
that once Ogan has cleared the way, we
2:46
stay on the right track, moving towards
2:48
our goals with clarity and purpose. His
2:50
symbol is the bow and arrow, a reminder
2:53
to always aim true. Together, Allegua,
2:56
Ogan, and Okosi form a perfect team.
2:58
Allegua opens the way, showing you the
3:00
possibilities. Oen provides the strength
3:03
and tools to break through barriers, and
3:05
Okose ensures you have the focus and
3:07
justice to reach your destination. They
3:10
work in harmony, a spiritual task force
3:12
designed to help humanity navigate the
3:14
complexities of life. They remind us
3:16
that to succeed, we need more than just
3:18
an open door. We need the strength to
3:20
walk through it and the wisdom to stay
3:22
on course. Their stories are a timeless
3:24
blueprint for overcoming challenges,
3:26
achieving goals, and living a life of
3:28
purpose. So the next time you feel lost
3:31
or overwhelmed, remember the Guerreras.
3:34
Think of Allegua who holds the key to
3:36
your next opportunity. Channel the
3:38
strength of Ogan to tackle your
3:40
obstacles head on and use the focus of
3:42
Okosi to aim for your highest
3:44
aspirations. The wisdom of the Orisha
3:46
warriors is a powerful gift, a reminder
3:49
that within us lies the ability to open
3:51
our own paths, forge our own tools, and
3:54
hunt for our own destiny. Thank you for
