Who is Èṣù:
Èṣù is a prominent deity in Yorùbá culture, revered as an Òrìṣà of crossroads, duality, new beginnings, travelers, fertility, and death.
As an intermediary between humans and other deities, Èṣù acts as a messenger, facilitating communication with the divine.
Èṣù embodies neutrality and maintains friendships with all other deities, which allows him to easily access their realms.
He has a strong rapport with his fellow deities and possesses the skill to engage them when necessary.
As a messenger, Èṣù faithfully delivers any message entrusted to him, whether it is positive or negative, as he does not choose the content of the message. It is important to note that Èṣù is not the infamous cursed serpent from the creation story in the Garden of Eden, distinguishing him from the biblical Satan.
