The joke is on me

Eshu or Eleggua is a trickster of Yoruba mythology, and he sits by my front door overseeing the comings and goings of all. He likes to trip me. I have posted an image from the Yoruba as the fertility god. He is also the guardian of crossroads, where paths converge and separate. He is most appropriate a figure for me at this time in life, a time of enormous change and upheaval. I look forward to getting to know him better. His desire is to assist one in spiritual growth by showing one's foolishness, exposing lopsided thinking and limited vision. His humor can be fiendish but is meant to bring about rebirth to a higher level. If you have any insights about tricksters from other mythological realms, please share them with me.
