talkin' bout hermano oggun,
i had a feeling that the guerrero of iron, truth, justice, creativity and revolution inhabits the website firedoglake, and then it hit me: ogun's major "totems" (familiares) include fire, dog and fresh (i.e. lake) water. ogun's iconic figure is a metalsmith bathed in sweat from the FIRE of the forge; his totemic animal is the hunting DOG (his companion in the trackless paths of the forest); and sweet (not salt) WATER, required to slake the heat of the anvil and soothe his explosive temper for the good of society.
prof. sandra barnes, a progressive africanist at penn, edited a classic textbook on this topic in 1980, and nigeria's nobel laureate wo.le s.oyinka addressed it well in his 1976 book 'myth, literature & the african world'. gloria rolando the cuban filmmaker produced a stunning ogun documentary in 1992 (www.afrocubaweb.com/oggunrol.htm).
conclusion: carl jung was onto something, so is fdl, and if you put enough magnetic memory together you get a machete.
heeparipa!
