Information

Eshu

Eshu (also spelled Elegua, Exu, or Legba in various traditions) is a deity found in several African religions and diasporic traditions, most notably in Yoruba religion, Candomblé, and Santería. Eshu is often considered a trickster god and the divine messenger, serving as an intermediary between humans and the other Orishas (deities). He is associated with communication, crossroads, and transformation, embodying both the positive and negative aspects of life. In Yoruba, Eshu is known as Èṣù, in Fon religion he is called Elegba, and in Haitian Vodou, he is referred to as Papa Legba. The Hebrew translation for Eshu is not directly applicable as there is no direct equivalent in Jewish tradition. Eshu is typically depicted as a young man or a boy, and his symbols include the crossroads, the color red, and the use of pebbles or cowrie shells in rituals. His role is crucial in rituals and ceremonies, as he is often invoked first to open the way for other deities.
