Exu – The Lord of Unquenchable Hunger
🔸 Origin and Lineage: Youngest son of Yemanjá and Orunmila; brother to Ogum, Xangô, and Oxóssi.
🔸 The Uncontrollable Hunger: A symbol of eternal transformation — he devoured every animal in the village, from four-legged beasts to grains and fruit, to show that nothing stays the same.
🔸 Archetypal Meaning: Embodies humanity’s insatiable appetite for knowledge, power, and constant change — never satisfied, always seeking.
🔸 Practical Lessons:
🌀 Embrace transformation: be hungry for evolution, but mindful of consequences.
🔄 Acknowledge limits: the hunger for progress must be balanced, or it becomes destruction.
Exu reminds us: the fuel of life is endless pursuit — but it is wisdom that keeps it in check.
