Saint Ogun Rum | SAINT OGUN’s origins can be traced back to the Yoruba culture of ancient Nigeria, where OGUN is a native deity noted for his inventiveness and craft, or Orìsà.
He and his rites evolved as a result of Yoruba people, faiths, and traditions moving to the Caribbean in the past. In some regions, he offered sacrifices in rum, while in others, he was regarded as a saint, sharing a naming etymology with many Caribbean cities and islands.
These customs and their various manifestations, such as Santeria, are widespread across Haiti, St. Lucia, Trinidad, and some regions of South America.
The essence of this infusion and its associated diaspora gave rise to SAINT OGUN, which focuses on the legacy of its founders in Nigeria and the Caribbean, with London as its center.
