The Gate Keeper (Legba) Legba is said to be the guardian of the crossroads and entrances. He is one of the most widely worshipped lwa and is known by several names. In Surinam and Brazil, he is known as Exu, in Trinidad and Cuba he is known as Elegua, in Haiti and New Orleans he is known as Papa Legba. Papa Legba is a master linguist, a warrior, and the personal messenger of destiny. He has the power to remove obstacles and to provide opportunities. All ceremonies begin and end with Papa Legba, and there can be no communication with any of the other lwas without consulting him first. It is said that Legba speaks all human languages and is one if not the most ancient spirit. In some circle, he is considered as an inter-dimensional being known not only in this realm but also in all creation. He receives his order directly from god. Legba requires the purest form of worship, a pure mind, and a clean body.
