Eleggua

Eleggua
   From Afro-Caribbean mythology, this god (Orisha) is the owner of the roads and opportunities, and the messenger between man and the gods. He is honored first at any ceremony, because without his approval nothing can be accomplished. He is also a healer and magician, and is known for his generosity and cruelty. He is the trickster who teaches through his tricks.
