GodThing[67] = new CreateGod('Eshu','Eshu-Elegba, Eshu-Eleggua','Trickster god and divine messenger of the Yoruba. One of the major Oshiras. Relates to Legba of the Benin of Dalhomey. On the day that Oloddumare finished creating the universe. Something happened to Oloddumare, that none of the Irunmole had ever seen before. Oloddumare, became weak, after giving much of his Ashe to the creation of the Universe, so weak, that the Universe trembled, and the Suns, and Stars seized to shine upon the skies. Darkness again took over the Cosmos.
The Irunmole, quickly went to the great Awo, the Awo cast Ifa, and told them, that Oloddumare was ill, and needed a remedy to cure his pain. If the cure was not found, then the Nothingness would again take over the Cosmos, but this time it would also envelop Orun, with it taking the Irunmole. It was on that Sacred day, that Oloddumare decreed, that all Ebbo given to Ori, Irunmole, Orisha and Egungun, a part must first be given to Eshu Eleggua. It was also on that day that Oloddumare gave to Eshu Eleggua, the keys to unlock all the doors within the cosmos. Oloddumare also gave Eshu Eleggua, the knowledge and Ashe behind every and all languages, within the Universe.
Eleggua rules over the doorways and pathways of the Universe, he is the owner of the keys of the Mysteries of Ashe. His dwelling is located in the center of the Cosmos, and the crossroads, is his sacred symbol. He is the Orisha that is honored before all other divinity, and before one can make communication or an offering to an Orisha, Eleggua must be invoked first, and fed a portion of an offering to another Orisha. All ceremonies begin and end with him.
He is the divine Trickster-Linguist; he is Messenger of Destiny, and consultant and communicator to all Forces. Eleggua is a careful listener to the words of mankind, and all that is said, he translates both positive and negative, thoughts and words, and makes things happen. He is the Ashe behind the word, and he translates all our prayers, and thoughts to the other divinities.
Eleggua is chaotic, absurd, unpredictable, and impossible. He is Divine Justice personified, and punishes as well as rewards with perfect equanimity. He never acts irrationally, Eleggua knows mysteries that are far beyond human comprehension, and he knows all things, and things about a person, that even that person has no recollection of.
Eleggua punishes wrongdoers heavily. Financial losses, accidents, incarceration, and theft are all distinct punishments handed forth by him. Eleggua punishes as much as he blesses; he is the force behind the Power of the Three-Fold Law.
He is a trickster god. A recent portrayal of him shows him as a very young and handsome mulatto man, upon his cheeks he has the three tribal scares, which represent him and his children on earth. Eleggua wears a red and black jester suite, with a matching three pointed hat, with silver bells, on each point. On his shoulder, he carries his knapsack, in which he carries all the keys of the universe, his offerings of toys, candies, gags, and pranks. In one hand he holds his Sacred \"Garabatto\", the three pointed wooden branch which is covered with red and black, beads.
In modern Yorubism Eleggua\'s sacred days are Monday and Sunday, and his feast days are on January 1, June 13th, and November 2. The number that is associated to him is 3, and 21. Eleggua is partial to coconuts, hard candies, cigars, tobacco and hard liquor. His favorite animal sacrifices are black and white hens, and she-goats.
As has always been tgrue all crossroads are sacred to him, and it is at a crossroad where his presence is greatly felt in this earth. He also lurks in dark shadows, and usually plays pranks on none believers and offenders of his mysteries. Eleggua\'s altar is kept behind the front door of the home, or outside directly to the left side of the door. Eleggua\'s altar must be kept at ground level, and never over a human\'s height.
Finally I give you a prayer made often to Eshu:
To You, Oh Great Lord of the Roads. Glorious Warrior, immortal Prince. I raise this humble offering. Keep Evil away from my home. Keep me, and all that I hold dear to my heart, safe, in my presence as well as when I am away. Protect and watch over me, when I am awake, as well as when I am asleep. Ashe Ashe Ashe

It was through Great Nana\'s womb, that the Cosmic Twins were born, called Mawu and Lisa. From Mawu and Lisa, came the Cosmic Egg, and the Cosmic Seed that germinated the Egg. And this egg was formed about the center of Ashe, the realm of Ikode Orun, From this egg hatched the Great Irunmole. So Nana Baruku is the Womb of Olodumare, Mawu is the Cosmic Egg, and Lissa is Olodumare\'s Seed, that set into motion, the creation of all that is, was and ever will be.
When the Orisha Obatala formed the first human head, upon the face of the earth. It was Olodumare who came down from the great Adobe of the Spiritual Realm, and breathed life into that. It was through the mysteries of the breath of Olodumare, that Nana Baruku came forth and took upon a clay figure and resided within it. When Olodumare gave it breath, Nana Baruku became the first human soul, the first woman, the first human being. Thus Nana Baruku was both Great Divinity, and first of all ancestors, Nana Baruku was not only, the great Grandmother of the Divinities, but also the Ancient Grandmother and progenitor of the human race. In human form Nana Buruku was known by the name Ayizan.

Ayizan, (Nanan) is envisioned as an ancient black grandmother, she covers her face with palm fronds, in honor of palm trees, which she first used to create a form of shelter upon earth, this is why palm trees are sacred to her. In her arms Ayizan carries a weaved basket of barks, roots, and herbs. Ayizan was the first human herbalist. sacred to her are the mandrake root, which resembles a human form, and is a symbol of her great (human) husband Osanyin.
With her vast knowledge of herbs she attracted the attention of the Orisha Osanyin, whom took form and became known as Loco. In life Ayizan lived in a marshy swamp, she was a powerful ancestor, that was superior in the knowledge of herbs and root magic.

The Mother known as Banyanchaba (Kalanga) \'the defecator of Tribes\' (or birth-mother of all tribes) and
The Son known as Lunji (Kalanga) \'the needle\'.
While Mwali is ever present in his creation, he is also a God Above; only accessible through the mediation of senior spirit mediums and cult priests at oracular centres. At these sacred centers, Mwari/Mwali speaks to his human subjects through The Voice, a cave-dwelling oracle who is most often female. Mwari/Mwali is especially the God of the seasons and crops. He is propitiated by offerings of cattle, beer, and other food products. As the Giver of rain, Mwari/Mwali is referred to as Dzivaguru (Shona) \'the great pool\' and Dziba le vula (Kalanga) \'a pool of water\' [in the sense as a source of rain/water]. Although he is generally believed to be concerned with peace; the fertility of the land and its people, he has in more recent times (the last 200 years in particular), emerged as a God of war.

The description is short, one buttock, long penis slung over one shoulder, and very obedient to whomever cuts the hair so it does not fall in front of its eyes.
There is a whole range of myths. Taking one from the Encyclopedia of World Mythology which relates that the Leguaan (a large river lizard) shares its cave with whichever Tokoloshi wishes to visit the lizard. When the lizards stamp their feet (as they do) they are said to be dancing with their Tokoloshi guest.
A graver story is the one where an old folk tale of Manicaland, in eastern Zimbabwe, concerned a beautiful maiden who was loved, or lusted after, by a tokoloshe resident in a stream. Naturally, she did not return the sprite\'s affections, and accepted from her human lover a gift of nine bangles. These she wore on her arm. This so enraged the tokolosh that when the girl went to bathe, it cut off her arm and threw it into the water. In 1924, a prospector found the remains of an ancient human arm in a riverbank. Around it were nine metal bangles. In 1935 the prospector, Captain Valentine, gave his find to the museum in Harare.
Also there is a 1971 film Tokoloshe, the Evil Spirit. More recently, Nigel Hawthorne appeared as a judge in the film A Reasonable Man, based on a true story. A man was tried for killing a child in the belief that it was a tokolosh.
I have been told there is a belief in South Africa (especially among the whites) that the blacks raise their bed on bricks to prevent the Tokolushi from crawling into bed with them. I have also been told that this belief is mainly not held by the blacks, and as an example, the story is told by a native (white) South African where by his maid put her bed up on bricks so they gave her a bunk bed expecting her to sleep on the top bunk. She put her belongings there. When asked about the Tokoloshi and the bricks, she laughed and said she used the bricks to keep the bed high enough so that she could put her belongings underneath.
Traditionally the Africans sleep on mats on the earth floor of their huts in the region, not very challenging for a Tokoloshi to get into.');
