For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. #Eshu or Èṣù is a personification of mischief. His cognomen He-who-creates-problems-for-the-innocent highlights the complex nature of this highly unpredictable deity. #Èṣù is the messenger not only to Olódùmarè, the Supreme Being, but also to and between the other #Orishas. Despite all this, he is the #Orisha in charge of law enforcement and orderliness.
