Èṣù and the Testimony of the Heart (Èrì Ọkàn)
In Yorùbá Ifá wisdom, Èṣù reveals the truth that lives within the heart. As divine messenger and guardian of crossroads, he exposes what is hidden, tests our integrity, and aligns our conscience (Èrì Ọkàn) with destiny. Through his lessons, sincerity is refined, words gain power, and the path before us clears. Èṣù reminds us that authenticity is the truest offering we can make to the divine.
