Eshu | The Trickster Orisha

In a pantheon filled with diverse and dual natured figures, Eshu is perhaps the most contradictory of the Orishas! As the Orisha of change, trickery, crossroads, and transformation, Eshu was a wily trickster, known for causing mischief and inciting conflict, yet always for the purpose of growth, enlightenment, and overall progress. As the messenger of Olodumare, any and all prayers or desires first had to go through him...and he was responsible for how the message was delivered!
