The Ajalogun are warrior spirits who serve under Ogun's command as his soldiers and enforcers on the battlefield, intervening directly in combat to protect and empower his devotees.
A warrior's Ori must be strong and properly honored for the Ajalogun's protection to hold. If a fighter's Ori rejects the war charms due to a destiny that excludes combat, even the Ajalogun cannot save him.
The war charms that invoke the Ajalogun require Osanyin's herbal knowledge. Specific plants, roots, and bark preparations form the material basis of the protective talismans that channel the warrior spirits' power.
Oshosi the divine hunter works alongside the Ajalogun in combat, lending his unerring aim to their martial power. Hunters invoke both Oshosi and the Ajalogun before dangerous expeditions into the forest.
Shango invoked the Ajalogun during his wars for the throne of Oyo. The warrior spirits fought alongside the thunder king, and his military victories were attributed to their supernatural intervention on the battlefield.
