JAKUTA

Yoruba Lightning God 🌩️

God of Thunderstorms and Lightning

Known as the Thrower of Light, he’s always been a bit displeased with mankind’s behavior. When he gets irritated he chucks light around and growls most angrily.

Despite the similarities he has never been Shango. He was around long before that upstart.
