Esu

Esu, also known as Elegba or Eshu, is a prominent Yoruba deity from West African spiritual traditions. He functions as a messenger between humans and the divine, personifying communication, pathways, and choices. Esu is both a trickster and a protector, ensuring that oracles and offerings reach the spirits and that humans navigate life's complex decisions correctly. Often depicted with a mischievous nature, he teaches about balance, duality, and the importance of respecting the spiritual laws. In various rituals, offerings are made to Esu to gain favor, clarity, and guidance in life’s journey.
