Kwan Kung / Guan Gong

Kwan Kung (Guan Gong, Kuan Kong) is the powerful and mystical Chinese god of war. The Kwan Kung offers both status and protection to those who invite him into their homes or places of work. His presence is highly desired by businessmen and those seeking protection and equality. 

The origination of the powers of Kwan Kung comes from a tale of China’s most powerful warrior. His name was originally Kuan Di and he was a hero both on the battlefield and at home in his country. After many victories and heroic deeds he became known as a sacred protector to emperors, politicians, businessmen and his armies. He was granted the name Kwan Kung or god of war for his many honors.

Kwan Kung is known to defend the guiltless and the righteous, being endowed with the power to bestow equality.
