There are no journeys that can begin without Esu. He is the keeper of the gates; He stands at the cross roads, guiding us in the right direction. It is in the natural order that we take our first steps glancing and keeping the Trickster happy. When humanity was born Ollodumare summoned all the major Orisas to the heavens. He told them they must all contribute to the care and evolution of humanity, and therefore decide what each would be responsible for. They came back days later and presented their decisions to Ollodumare: Oggun carried iron from the earth’s core and the tools of progress and war; Obatala brought peace and tranquility, and the enlightened arts; Ossain brought ewe(herbs) and the knowledge of their powers; Oya brought the marketplace along with the winds that carry spirits on the passage of death. When Ollodumare reached Esu, he saw he was empty handed and asked Esu in a firm voice: “ Where is your responsibility?” Esu responded, “Ollodumare, you who is also known as Oba Orun (King of the Sky), know that Orisas are above man, and more powerful. "Why should we then serve them, when humanity should be serving us?” Ollodumare firmly told him to leave and not to return empty handed. Esu came back wearing a feather on his head, and nothing in his hands. At this site Ollodumare began losing his patience, and asked Esu if this was defiance he saw. Esu pointed to the feather on his head and said, “ Ollodumare, you who is Olorun, Owner of the Sky, this is my responsibility.” I ask you to let me be the one to test humanity, to trick them, and see where their heart, and limits, are at. “ Let me be the one to travel back and forth bringing light or darkness, confusion and clarity.” Ollodumare was impressed by the young Orisa and decided to name him Divine Messenger and Trickster. The feather on Esu’s head represents his ability to travel between light and darkness, therefore the keeper and opener of all doors and paths; be it the path to balance or the road to self-destruction. He is the beginning of life and it’s unpredictable end.
Olosa is The Orisha of Lagoons. She is another wife of Olokun. She represents the lagoons that precede the ocean. Her symbol is the crocodile and she also, like Aje, lives in an urn that resembles that of Yemoja or Olokun. Her beads are milky white, dark blue, translucent blue, as well as coral. Olosa supplies her votaries with fish, and there are several temples dedicated to her along the shores of the lagoon, where offerings of fowls and sheep are made to her to render her propitious. When the lagoon is swollen by rain and overflows its banks she is angry, and if the inundation be serious a human victim is offered to her-, to induce her to return within her proper limits. Crocodiles are Olosa’s messengers, and may not be bothered. They are supposed to bring the goddess the offerings which the faithful deposit on the shores of the lagoon or throw into the water. Some crocodiles, selected by the priests on account of certain marks borne by them, are treated with great veneration; and have crude sheds, thatched with palm leaves, erected for their accommodation near the water’s edge. Food is regagularly supplied to these reptiles every fifth day, or festival, and many of them become sufficiently tame to come for the offering as soon as they see or hear the worshippers gathering on the bank.

take a lover
Made this for myself. I heard this at a SLAA workshop and fell in love with it. It feels very true and relevant. Developing self love is going to be a big part of my recovery.
