Eshu
keeper of the crossroads
Eshu stands at every crossroad and doorway, trickster and translator between gods and mortals; to dream of him is to arrive at a choice where the messenger's mischief hides a lesson you asked for without knowing.
Fragments
No prayer reaches the gods and no blessing returns unless Eshu carries it; feed him first at the door, or watch the message go astray.
He wears a cap white on one side and red on the other, then stands between two friends so each swears it was only one colour, and laughs as they come to blows.
