Aganju the Volcano God

Aganju the Volcano God

 

 

Aganju is the god of volcanoes, the wilderness and the river in Nigerian Yoruba mythology.

 

 



He is most highly regarded by Lukumi practitioners for his role in assisting humans in overcoming great physical as well as psychological barriers. Like the volcano, Aganjú is noted for his legendary strength and his ability to bring about drastic change. His significance in Cuba in the past is most probably due in part to the fact that he was said to have delivered people out of bondage and helped one to carry the heaviest of burdens.
