Eleggua He is the orisha who opens and closes all paths, always going between heaven and earth telling Olofi and Olodumare everything that happens, walking between night and day to put man to the test.
He is a childish orisha in many aspects, he loves to play and is always doing evil things, but being the owner of the roads and crossroads, he opens them when he is attended to and treated with respect, he also closes them when they do not listen to his advice and do not they trust him.
You should never ask for money, but open paths so that the evolution we need reaches our hands, but always with faith, love, firmness.
When Eleggua listen and feel that your heart asks for it and needs it, it will give it to you. Do not dwell on wishes that do not suit you, because the little giant will not give it to you.
