Alaafia Everyone! Yes, we are still raising the funds for this documentary...The Work Continues...May We Earn More Than What We Need to Complete It. Ase~ FROM THE WEST AFRIKAN YORUBA TRADITIONAL AND MODERN-DAY SPIRITUALITY OF IFA (Now Practiced in the Diaspora, Throughout the World) ~ “Esu otherwise called Elegbara is one of the important messengers of God. His abode is known to be either at the crossroads or at the gate of heaven. It is believed that all travelers from both heaven and earth normally pass through him. Esu is regarded as the custom officer who receives sacrifices from people before anything could be done. And that is why all human beings and other divinities too, make sure they first pay homage to him.”~Araba Ifayemi Elebuibon, 2000 The Healing Power of Sacrifice (In stock for purchase, ask me.) In the Yoruba pantheon, Elegba is a deity, the divine messenger of Olodumare. Elegba is a guardian, protector and communicator. Through divination, he guides the fate of man. In West Africa and all through the Diaspora he is revered. The Fon call him Legba. He is called Èsú (eshu), Èlegba and Èlegbara among the Yoruba. In Brazil for the practitioners of Candomble, he is Exu. The Lucumi of the New World know him as Eshu Eleggua. These references are sacred praise names for Eshu-Elegbara.-- Ifaseyi Bamigbala https://youtube/watch?v=H1yiLYIaOsg
