In West African hunters' lore and folklore (Alo), a powerful sorcerer or a corrupted forest spirit can transform into a monstrous hybrid—a terrifying half-man, half-wild-boar entity. This creature symbolizes the absolute corruption of human nature, reverting into a gluttonous, aggressive, and wild beast that haunts the deep jungle paths at night.

The Orishas, creation from the sky, and a living spiritual tradition that spread across the world.

The Master of Duality: Eshu represents the point where opposites meet. He is neither inherently good nor evil; he is the enforcer of cosmic balance, turning right into wrong and wrong into right.

* The Gatekeeper & Messenger: No prayers, sacrifices, or messages can reach Olodumare or any other Orisha without Eshu’s permission. He opens the doors of opportunity or firmly shuts them based on a person's alignment with truth.

* The Two Faces: Traditional Yoruba shrine sculptures often depict Eshu with two faces looking in opposite directions. This symbolizes his ability to see the past and the future simultaneously, or to witness both sides of every human choice.

* Sacred Colors and Offerings: His signature colors are red and black (representing creation/destruction or blood/shadow). His preferred offerings include palm oil, toasted corn, rum, and spicy peppers.

Time will tell. 

Truth is found in reason's blind eye of hurricane. When I run I cannot hide. I can't escape the pain. Lock me up for my delusions. Free me from this world of illusion. Separate my truth from lies. My own enemy? Only time will tell.
