Ogou Balendyo Oil + Saint James + Protection + Healing + Medal Blessed by Pope + Ogun Balendjo

Ogou Balendyo is syncretized with San Santiago or Saint James, and their feast day is July 25th. He’s the leader of the Ogou division, an older man who rides a white horse, and married to Metres Ezili Freda. Together, they represent the balance of feminine and masculine energies. He’s both a military man and a doctor, so he’s disciplined, strict, traditional, a father figure, and doesn’t like chaos. He demands respect, and the consequences for disrespecting him can be severe.

Ogou set up the rules governing the 21 Divisiones. These contain the secrets that make this spiritual work effective. He’s a healer who works with his hands and can manifest miraculous cures. He can neutralize poison. He helps the downtrodden and marginalized.

He’s very protective of his children and will fight for them as long as they serve him. He accepts a machete, glass of red wine, cigar, white flowers, rice pudding, clear rum, blue candles, and sometimes Patron tequila. His colors are blue, white, and red, though some give him light blue candles. Ogou Balendyo is a cool spirit and will accept water instead of dark liquor and other offerings on Wednesdays with the Nago spirits. 

Sancista Jennifer handcrafts this oil with the highest quality traditional and divined ingredients available. She created it on Ogou Balendyo’s feast day, prayed over it for 9 days, and charged it on her altar. She decorated the bottles with various gemstones, pearls, and Czech glass beads. There are over 10 ingredients in this oil, as dictated by Ogou Balendyo. It comes in a luxurious gold 1/3 oz or 1/2 oz bottle. The Saint James medals on the bottles were blessed by the Pope.
