From the Tarot Lukumi, the Four of Swords; from the Diloggun Oracle, Osa (nine mouths):
When Oggun was a human, he killed subjects who failed to show him respect (note the heads on the wrong end of the bodies that are attached to the trees). Yet he also killed himself with his own sword. As an Orisha, Oggun cleared a pathway from heaven to earth, promising to protect and defend his people. Did he take time to reflect on his actions and realize he had been impulsive in his anger? The sayings of Osa suggest this would be wise:
Ifa: One must cease leading themselves to misfortune. One must cease bringing harm upon themselves.
Proverb: Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Sanity returns when we realize it's useless to continue to do the same thing and expect different or better results than we've previously gotten.
