Veves

Exu (Eshu, Papa Legba) is the Messenger of the Gods, similar in many ways to the trickster gods of other cultures, but also associated, through the syncretism of the African Diaspora Religions, with both Christ and Satan. This Macumbe veve has the colors sacred to Exu in the stones: a vernuil ruby, a moonstone, and a black onyx. It is $30 less expensive without the stones. Unlike the piece below, this version is backed with a second silver sheet flush soldered to the top sheet and the cut out part is oxidized.

Exu or Eshu or Eshu Elegua is the only god (Loa or Orisha) in the voodoun pantheon who can talk to the Creator God or any of the other gods. He is also known as Papa Legba or Legba and is always propitiated before any other deity in a Voodoo ritual. This particular veve is from the Brazilian style of voodoo known as Macumbe. He is also the trickster god and he loves chocolate, rum and cigars. He'll do what you ask - for a price. This cut out form can be done with some of the other veves with modifications - ask us.

- 48mmX54mm or 1.8" by 2.1"
All the Loa or Orisha have multiple selves, or personae which are constellations of attributes known in voudoo as roads. Exu (the Brazilian name for Eshu or Legba) has 28, but the highest and most powerful of these is Exu Rei, or Exu the King. This is also the most complex veve we make. Rituals using the Loa will be more productive if the correct road or manifestation of the deity is used, not only because of the intrinsic power of that manifestation but also because one may find a specific road more familiar or personally accessible than another. Exu rei is so powerful as to be associted with the Christian devil form.

This is a Macumbe veve of the Orisha Ogun (Ogum). He is the God of metal, metalworkers, of justice, and a protector of all who worship him. This veve is a complex multilayered piece using Haitian Veve styling, although the veve itself is Brazilian. His possessions can sometimes be violent. Those mounted by him are known to wash their hands in flaming rum without suffering from it later. They dress up in red, wave a sabre or machete, chew a cigar and demand rum in an old phrase "Gren mwe fret" (my testicles are cold). Often this rum is poured on the ground then lit and the fumes pervade the peristyle. The sword, or much more commonly, the machete is his weapon and he often does strange feats of poking himself with it, or even sticking the handle in the ground, then mounting the blade without piercing his skin.
