Tales of Èṣù: Yorùbá Divine Messenger And Trickster Orisha

Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ is without a doubt, the most fascinating, astute and unpredictable of all YorÃ¹bÃ¡ Orishas. Central to YorÃ¹bÃ¡ Orisha religion, Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ is known as a divine messenger who is a mediator between man, the Orishas and the Supreme God OlÃ³dÃ¹marÃ¨-Ã’lÃ³Ã²run. He is also known as an instigator of intrigues and trickster Orisha. In this collection of tales, Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ takes center stage, as the main protagonist, where the reader will experience two sides of this enigmatic Orisha: the good and the bad, which are presented in a spirited form. Tales of Ãˆá¹£Ã¹: YorÃ¹bÃ¡ Divine Messenger and trickster Orisha are stories based on the African YorÃ¹bÃ¡ oral tradition of storytelling, which portrays the escapades and folly of this divine Orisha, utilizing a modern touch and simple language. Ãˆá¹£Ã¹, as the first Orisha, is well-worshipped and extremely respected in YorÃ¹bÃ¡land because he is literally present in everything; in nature, in objects and in the physical human body. For this reason, Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ is present in the majority of stories related to an infinite number of topics, as well as his relationship with the other Orishas in the YorÃ¹bÃ¡ pantheon. In this collection, Alex Cuoco presents 80 fascinating Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ tales that are retold with great skill and rhythm, in which Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ appears at his best, in various forms: as a trickster, messenger, instigator, officer and enforcer of the laws of Ã’run (Heaven), as well as moderator, master-punisher, advisor, mediator, helper and administrator. The variety of themes of these tales affords the reader an acquaintance with the good and mischievous aspects of Ãˆá¹£Ã¹. The reader will also experience Ãˆá¹£Ã¹'s sexual appetite and unusual sense of humor, which when combined, become a prominent aspect of Ãˆá¹£Ã¹'s explosive and surprising personality. In this manner, Tales of Ãˆá¹£Ã¹ offers the reader the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of Ãˆá¹£Ã¹'s character and his divine Ã€á¹£áº¹ (Power). This editio
