Esu Prayer Of The Week

Isese Mondays continues with Esu aka Eshu, the most misunderstood Orisa of them all. If you still think Esu is Satan, you have clearly been living under a rock. Whatever your opinion of Esu, he is undoubtedly one of the most important forces in Isese and one of my personal favorites.

The Divine messenger, the enforcer of cosmic laws, the one who presides over the crossroads, the guardian of the ancestral realm, the one who holds the wealth and discipline of the town, he who receives and rescues humans, the performer of wonders, he who holds us accountable, to many he is also the trickster. Esu means so many things to different people, but one thing is for sure, if you are on this Ifa, Isese path, you need Esu.

The misunderstanding of Esu, is a whole lot more than Esu not being Satan. Even the idea of Esu as a trickster, which we'll be discussing during the Understanding Esu Workshop is very debatable. A lot of the time, what devotees see as Esu tricking them, is simply Esu holding up the mirror to your face. Ensuring that you see yourself for who you truly are and face the outcomes of your decisions. It is the journey towards transformation. Not just some need to trick from tricking sake. The devotees should be willing to take personal responsibility, accept their mistakes, learn from them and grow. Esu's role in self-growth and transformation is severely underrated. Remember, all Esu's actions are guided by cosmic laws, balance and justice, not by malicious intent.
