Eshu Elegbara Explained - The Link between Worlds

- Eshu is an incredibly important orisha because everyone has to go through him whether be the living or dead. Those who want to have access to the other orisha must call upon eshu to open the door to the spirit world, therefore he will be present at every single orisha event. And an offering will be made to him regardless of who you are worshiping. He is also a Psychopomp which means he guides the dead to the afterlife.

Eshu is not evil
Saying that African spirituality is evil is like saying Christianity is because of the crusaders and Islam is because of the taliban.
You can’t a small amount of individuals determine your opinion on a religion
Bless you for being so CLEAR about the most common and racist misunderstanding of Ancient African Spirituality! Colonization has destroy the practice of #TRUTH, #JUSTICE, and #EQUITY among humankind, yet African Spirituality has all the wisdom we need to turn this deadly insanity around. Bless you for helping make this possible by such fantastic educational material on the Orishas! This video is one of the BEST I have seen on Eshu Elegbara!
Thank you so much this means a lot to me 🙏🏽
Every Monday is Esu day 😁
🙏🏽
I use Wednesdays, too.
I’ve heard Saturday and also Mondays are his days
Ahh okay
Thank you !!!
I use Wednesdays, too.
Thank you for making these videos. I like learning about different religions and mythologies, and by extension the cultures surrounding them. The Yoruba religion has been on my list for a long time and I find it a lot easier to learn when I have a jumping on point (be that a single important concept, book or list of deities). Through your videos I learned about the 7 African Powers and have been watching and reading a ton to get a more solid first step into this surprising and fun pantheon.
The stories behind the Orishas, their personalities and interactions, the systems they build and lessons they learn, and even the humanity they embody has me excited to learn even more. Eshu in particular captivates me. Like 99% of the world I like tricksters, especially when there's a well meaning lesson behind their antics. Eshu gives me the impression of one of those wise mentors who keep all their knowledge to themselves and annoy their students (and often the audience) with riddles until the student learns their lesson the hard way so that it sticks better than it otherwise would have. While also being a fun love to hate, but also just love him kind of guy.
US media depicted papa legba wrong, those images are actually Baron Samedi from Haitian or Louisiana Vodou (I believe).
Yeah, Disney used Baron Samedi for the image of the Doctor...the black suit, top hat, skull face, colourful personality. Media always get him mixed with Papa Leg a and/or Ellegua, since they're all colourful trickster spirits of the crossroads...
You’re a very good teacher, my lad! 😅
I think Eshu symbolizes "problems" or more precisely "issues"... maybe his name is where the term "issue" originated from... but... a person could use these words "Eshu" or "Issue" interchangeably and still mentally keep an understanding of what the sentence is talking about... It is said that we all have unresolved Eshus/issues... that we can learn lessons from by resolving them... also I believe that the Spanish word "alegua" like "Elegua" may mean "talk"... hmmm... maybe Elegua Eshu symbolizes talking out our issues... also... The Ancient Egyptian ferryman that pilots the boat across Lilly Lake to The Field of Reeds is named Href-Hef... like Eshu he also has two faces... one facing toward the dead person that's his passenger... and the other facing the destination of the spirit world or heaven called The Field of Reeds... I believe this is also Eshu... because the passenger has to "talk" to the ferryman and say the right things to "resolve the issue" with the ferryman and Eshu is known to guide people between destinations... he's known to be able to travel between Heaven and Earth.
Thank you for this playlist

Please. Just got put on
Disney knows exactly what they were doing!
Wow I never heard about elegua being eshu brother. I heard they were not the same but whoa !!!!! You have a different point of view that makes another of sense.
Yh I think some variations they are and in some they are not. 😅 I think elegua is depicted more as a child
@Damian Williams , i would love to recommend this Yoruba movie to you for more understanding - IFA IWA
@@general8855 sure would like that.
June 13th and January 6th as well as every Monday
Thank you
hello u are really fantastic, ehmm i think his cool
Nice
Thank you
Man thank you You answer a important question I had
No worries bro 🙏🏽
SOME WORK W/Eshu ON MONDAYS, OTHERS FRIDAYS AND SOME BOTH DAYS
You said what you said ?
Okay bro 😂
Yes of course 😂
Eshu day of worship is Monday
Say it for the people at the back ! More people should go back to their roots and look into their ancient religions
What is the music you use at the start and at the end of the video ?
When is the yemoja coming out ?
The music is on TH-cam; Eshu/Elegba (the orisha who open doors) by ELLA ANDALL
You can listen to almost all of our meaning (trinidad) versions of the orisha songs
Because everyon/ country have a different way of calling orishas through song ... etc
Next week hopefully
That is a Baron Samedi depiction in the Princess and the frog, not Esu or Papa Legba.
Mondays
St Lazarus is linked to Oba Aye
monday
Monday is papa leg a day
Ngl the fact he seems to be associated with skeletons etc doesn’t really help his case lol he looks evil
Skeletons being associated evil is a very western thing….. every heard of day of the dead in Mexico ?
There’s nothing evil about skeletons
Halloween
Elegba is a legend not just spiritual but for all I love bein black I embrace my ancestors
Esu is not the same as the vodue Baron Samedi so Don't mix esu with the Voodoo stuff .
Stay away from those orishas!!!
Why?
@@ayakerithey've done a lot of evil, most of them are doomed for hell according to the Bible and they want you to go with them! If you obey the god of the Bible's commandments you get eternal life! The Orissa's can teach you alot but do you want to follow them to Hell?
@@ayakeri The Orissa's are the angels in the Bible that slept with humans and caused giants to be born! And those giants started to eat humans! As in the days of Noah so shall the comming of man be! STUDY YOUR BIBLE!!
They aren’t evil what he’s saying is what Europeans spread throughout the slave times
@@dolawale1934 you do know that the bible you talking about is the same bible they use against us black, brown and indigenous people? So why listen to something that caused pain and suffering on our people, our communities and what worse is you probably already know this and still have the nerve to say what you said lol funny
Your amazing at this and yes why wouldn’t his day be every if we have to go through him to connect the other orisha 🫶🏾🖤❤️
