The First Eclipse

Top Story - April 2024

Eleguá, the divine trickster, was first known as Eshu, the

Canvas of darkness upon which the world was cast

Light? What does it even mean, what purpose does it serve, when the cosmos is You?

Irritating at best. Peace & privacy stolen by the other gods, really. And so he

Plucked the sun, from its heavenly fixture, then

Stuffed it in his pocket and that was his first trick, which caused him to ignite

Eshu was no more and Eleguá became

Acrostic
