Feraj, The Nago Warrior, the African version of Mars of the roman or Aries of the Greeks, is the god (Lwa) of masculinity, war, blacksmiths, and thunderbolts. Feraj is a fire god, fierce and always ready to do battle. He is also a great lover and defender of women, especially widows and single mothers. He is associated with St James the dragon slayer of the Christians. The machete or saber is his attribute. Feraj is fond of rum and tobacco. He makes implements for farming and medicine; like the hoe, and the surgeon's scalpel. Feraj is loved by Erzulie Freda, the Lwa of love, and spouse of his father Ogoun Badagri. It is said that Badagri caught them dancing in a forest, loving each other. Since that day, dissension never stops mounting between the two Nago warriors.
