My name is Pedro. Im from Brazil. I jus...Very good! My name is Pedro. Im from Brazil. I just like so add some more info about exu and the other gods from the ioruba panteon. When the slaves brought their religion from africa they were forbidden to perform their religious tradition. So they hidden all aspects from their ancient religion into christian mitology. Ogum, the warrior became São Jorge. Iansã became Santa Clara. As a trickester, Exu had no association with any of the mythic figures from catolicism... many of symbols and atitudes were associeted with the catolic devil. It is said that the ioruba gods dont mind to be worshiped with other names as long they are worshiped so Exu became de devil. In the "terreiros" exu is the first one to be called because he is the one that take the "oferendas" to the other gods. Other thing..Exu doesnt care about good or evil he accepts all your pleages as long you pay him his tribute.Pedro Paulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367756569299972076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445319837947149744.post-59224575658810349722010-03-12T20:01:48.637-08:002010-03-12T20:01:48.637-08:00good article!
