LEGBA Trickster God of Language and Destiny. He appears as a shabby old man, but he's really very clever and cunning. He knows all the languages of the world and is also fluent in the Cosmic Tongue (does that mean Esperanto?).
If you need to get a message to the Gods, he's the one to go for. But he's not very reliable - he likes nothing better than to confuse. Not only that, but as he gets older, garbled messages and confusion have a tendency to creep in.
LEGBA is known as ESHU among the Yoruba, where he does much the same thing but with more up-to-date technology. He also makes a guest appearance in certain Voodou circles |
