Sango is the essence of strategy. Perhaps describing this energy as a General offers insights. After all, a successful general will be a good strategist. After all, the ability to talk others into your position may be essential to realizing strategy. The tales of Sango's inherent ability to see the future, and of having traded the ability to divine to Orunmila for the gift of dance, is simply another way of acknowledging that a great strategist is looking many moves into the future.
Tales describing the sexuality of Sango are also accurate.
BUT, this is not necessarily a singularly heterosexual exercise. Sango energy often expresses itself with same sex preference. Finally, the expression of Sango, as opposed to the essence of the energy is quite interesting. In our Western culture, where short-term gratification is the family crest for most, this ability to maneuver others often expresses itself in behavior of bad character. The Sango confidence that the energy can always find a way out of difficulties it has created furthers this.
