Ogun Okigbe – Confirmed Immunity Against Cutlass and Knife

Among the Yoruba, protection has always been a central part of life. In the past, when wars, community conflicts, and hunting expeditions were common, people sought not only physical strength but also spiritual defense. One of the most remarkable practices that arose from this worldview is Ògùn Àdá àti Òbe Tódájú, also known as Okigbe.
ogun okigbe for immunity against cutlass and knife
This refers to traditional fortification believed to protect the body from injuries caused by cutlasses, knives, or other sharp objects. It is not merely physical but spiritual, combining herbs, roots, chants, and rituals to create what was considered a shield around the body. Such practices gave warriors courage, instilled fear in enemies, and offered re-assurance to farmers and hunters in their daily lives.

Today, Ògùn Àdá àti Òbè still has cultural value, reminding us of how the Yoruba balanced survival, bravery, and belief in ancestral wisdom.

Tiny cuts were made on specific parts of the body, and the prepared herbal mixture was rubbed in.

•  Ritual Bathing
Some fortifications required the person to bathe in herbal water for cleansing and activation.

•  Incantations and Chants
Words of power (ọfọ̀) were spoken to seal the protection.

•  Follow-up Guidance
The healer often gave rules — like avoiding reckless testing or certain foods — to maintain the efficacy.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Protection
