The Pilón for Shango is a powerful altar piece and ritual tool used in Santería and other Yoruba-based traditions to honor Shango—the Orisha of thunder, lightning, drums, and justice. Traditionally carved from wood and featuring symbolic carvings or colors associated with Shango, the pilón serves as a spiritual anchor for offerings, prayers, and energetic work. It may be used during ceremonies involving rhythm, fire, or divine intervention, and is often placed beside drums, double axes, and red-and-white altar elements to enhance Shango’s presence. The pilón symbolizes strength, rhythm, and the righteous authority of divine masculine energy.
