Undated: (Nago, the Nation of Lwa Originating Among the Yoruba People of Nigeria, Associated With the Colors Red and Blue, Whose Most Powerful Member Is the Warrior Spirit Ogoun): The Nago are one of the primary nations of lwa in Vodou, and they trace their origin to the Yoruba people of Nigeria. At Nago rite ceremonies, the congregation frequently wears red and blue, the same colors that would later appear on the Haitian flag. The most prominent Nago lwa is Ogoun, the warrior spirit associated with iron, fire, and political power. The Yoruba spiritual lineage carried by the Nago nation is among the most recognizable threads connecting Haitian Vodou to its West African roots.
