Everyone has moments of weakness. However, within those moments, we must dig deep and find the strength to fend off our enemies. This is perhaps why it is so important to work with Ogun. He is the African deity who represents our internal power and is associated with the power chakra. The power chakra is the seat of the soul. It is a rechargeable source of energy. It not only builds our stamina, but our will. It was this kind of energy that allowed our ancestors to hunt for days with virtually no food or water. It is this kind of energy that allows people to run a twenty-six mile marathon.

3. Years
ago,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
going
on
an
African
safari.
It
was
an
experience
of
a
lifetime.
It
was
great
to
see
animals
living
in
their
natural
habitat.
We
must
have
drove
for
hours,
catching
glimpses
of
cheetahs,
elephants,
and
rhinos.

our

eyeing

as
if
they
were
daring
us
to
make

It
was
only
when
they
had
passed
and
were
clear
out
of
site
that
our
tour
guide
decided
to
speak.
The
hyenas
are
the
gangstas
that
rule
the
jungle.
Although
the
lion
is
considered
king,
its
throne
is
constantly
threatened.

9. Later,
I
learned
that
the
lion
didn’t
have
to
only
hunt
and
kill
its
prey.
The
lion
had
to
protect
it
as
well.
In
many
cases,
a
lion,
or
lioness
would
have
to
carry
their
prey
for
miles
back
to
their
cubs.
All
the
while,
the
hyenas
would
be
tailing
them,
licking
their
fangs,
and
waiting
for
the
lion
to
make
the
wrong
move.
If
the
lion
was
weak,
for
only
a
mere
second,
the
hyenas
would
attack.
They
would
circle
around
the
lion,
trap
it,
and
force
it
to
surrender
its
prey.
Then,
one
by
one,
the
hyenas
would
pounce
on
the
lion,
digging
their
claws
and
teeth
into
its
neck,
marring
it
to
death.

lions
can
be
analogous
to
the
rich
and
famous
people
in
the
world.
They
work
so
hard
to
have
it
all.
And,
they
have
everything,
fame,
fortune,
and
beauty.
But
there
are
many
people
watching
on
the
sidelines.

They
trail
behind

people,
sometimes
in

They
long
for

moment

and
hope
to
catch
a

glimpse
of
vulnerability,
so
they

17. It
is
sad
to
say
that
we
live
in
a
jungle,
and
there
are
many
people
who
want
others
to
fail,
so
they
can
walk
away
with
their
prey.

19. Everyone
has
moments

weakness.

within
those
moments,
we
must
dig
deep
and

the
strength
to
fend
off
our
enemies.
This
is
perhaps
why
it
is
so
important
to
work
with
Ogun.
