This seventeenth-century Dutch or German portrait of a Moorish king could just as easily be a por- trait of an American Indian ruler. Europeans often drew a parallel between the desert dwellers- Berbers and Tuaregs-and the Native Americans, seeing both as living simple lives, with a poten- tial either for noble simplicity or savage barbarity. "Ein Konig der Mohren in Orient" (Caspar
Shango was a great king who unified his entire people. He created the Egungun cult, to which many Orishas relate. However, he is the only orisha who exerts true power over the dead. Shango is the death's robe, Axó Iku, and for this reason, red, his color, is imperative in the Egbòs of Ikù and Egun. When Shango manifests in Candomblé ceremonies, his attire, a type of skirt of assorted and bright colors, is mandatory and representative of eguns' garments. Shango was strong, brave, fearless and fair. He was feared and beloved at the same time. At times, he behaved like a tyrant, because of his eagerness for power, to the point of dethroning his own brother. Son of Yamasse (Torosi) and Orania, he was the most powerful king of the Yorubá people. He is also strongly attached to trees and nature, origin of his favorite objects: the mortar and the pestle. Shango's mortar has two mouths, which represent the free passage between worlds; Shango being the ancestor (Egungun). From nature, he extracted deep knowledge of the powers of sorcery, which were only used when necessary. As depicted below, Shango bears the elementary traits of the deities responsible for watching over compliance with the rules: strength, courage, fairness and, as always, concurrent to a divine figure, the coercive power, in this case represented by a weapon:

Roy Marcus Cohn was born on February 20, 1927, in the Bronx, New York, to a wealthy Jewish family. His father, Albert Cohn, was a justice in the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court, wielding significant political influence, while his mother, Dora Marcus, was a banking heiress whose family faced legal troubles due to her brother’s fraud conviction. Cohn’s privileged upbringing, marked by a doting mother and powerful father, set the stage for his ambition and access to elite circles. A precocious child, he attended the Fieldston School, Columbia College, and Columbia Law School, graduating by age 20, though he had to wait until 21 to be admitted to the bar. He was a closeted gay man.

Cohn’s career began with a meteoric rise as a prosecutor in the 1951 espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, accused of passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. At just 23, Cohn’s aggressive tactics and media savvy secured their conviction and execution in 1953, earning him national attention and the favor of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, himself rumored to be a closeted homosexual. Cohn’s role in the Rosenberg case showcased his willingness to use fear and innuendo, a hallmark of his later career. His Jewish identity, coupled with his anti-communist zeal, was seen by some as a defense against anti-Semitism, though others, like Tony Kushner in Angels in America, suggested Cohn’s prosecution of the Rosenbergs reflected self-loathing, possibly tied to his mother’s influence.

McCarthyism and the Lavender Scare

Cohn’s prominence grew as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Second Red Scare (1950s). As McCarthy’s “subcommittee’s real brain,” Cohn drove the mass interrogation of alleged communists, often linking communism to homosexuality to stoke fear. This period also saw the Lavender Scare, where Cohn and McCarthy targeted LGBTQ+ federal employees, accusing them of being security risks vulnerable to Soviet blackmail. Cohn’s tactics, including alleging Soviet entrapment of closeted officials, led to thousands losing jobs and several suicides, as noted by his cousin David L. Marcus. Again, not only was Cohn himself a closeted gay man, but this fact was widely known, though never publicly admitted.
