Alagggwana, Obanigwanna, or Laggwanna

Posted in Elegba/Eleggua/Eshu, Ogun by Omolotiwa on the September 22nd, 2006

Said to be very powerful; resides in the forests, and hills. Some say she is Eshu-Bi’s sister, and represents the “Anima Sola” or “Lost Soul”. Among her attributes are chains and garabato de guayava (staff made of guava branch); in Cuba they carve out a figure in cedar, which lives and eats next to Alaggwana.She is very close to the Eggungun ( spirits of the dead), and does a lot of work with Ogun.
