Sango was the third king of the Oyo Kingdom in Yoruba religion. He is considered an important orisha and is symbolized by a double-headed axe representing swift justice. Sango had three wives - Oshun, his favorite, Oba who offered her ear to him which angered him, and Oya who stole his magic. Historically, Sango brought prosperity during his reign and is associated with rams, red, and white. He is venerated in religions in Haiti, Brazil, Umbanda, Trinidad, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela as a god of thunder.
