Information

Exu

Exu (pronounced "E-shoo") is a prominent entity in Afro-Brazilian religions such as Candomblé, Umbanda, and Quimbanda, as well as in other Afro-American religions like Haitian Vodou and Cuban Santería. Exu is often considered a trickster and messenger, serving as an intermediary between the human world and the divine, orixás (deities). He is known for his dual nature, embodying both positive and negative aspects, and is often associated with crossroads, communication, and transformation. In Candomblé, Exu is sometimes referred to as Elegbara or Eleggua in the Yoruba tradition, while in Umbanda, he is often called Exu Mirim or Exu Tranca Ruas. The name "Exu" does not have a direct translation in Hebrew, but in Portuguese, it is simply "Exu." In Haitian Vodou, the equivalent figure is known as Papa Legba, and in Cuban Santería, he is called Eleggua. Exu is typically honored at the beginning of religious ceremonies to ensure smooth communication with the orixás. His symbols often include a red and black attire, a red feather, and a three-pronged staff. Offerings to Exu may include rum, cigarettes, and various foods, reflecting his complex and multifaceted role in Afro-Brazilian spiritual practices.
