Èṣù: The Divine Messenger and Guardian of Balance in Yorùbá Spirituality

In Yorùbá Ifá wisdom, Èṣù is not the devil nor merely a trickster — he is the living law of balance and the messenger between heaven and earth. As the keeper of crossroads and enforcer of àṣẹ, Èṣù reveals truth, tests integrity, and restores harmony. Through him, every word gains power and every destiny finds direction. To honor Èṣù is to honor movement, consequence, and divine order.
