Who are the Exus and their phalanxes?

First of all, it is necessary to understand what an exu is and what his function is in the Yoruba religions. In Candomblé, Exu is the messenger of the other orixás. According to the history of the religion, he made an agreement with the others so that every time someone needed their intermediary, he should deliver his dispatch first. And so it is until today.

Within Umbanda, the concept is almost the same, however, each orixá has several exus, identified with different garments and various behaviors. These phalanxes are the ones who, normally, incorporate themselves into people in terreiros and talk about the spiritual life. They are of great value when we talk about Umbanda and clarifications in general.

How the Exus and their phalanges act

The exus in Umbanda are understood as the 'street people' or 'catiço', which are spirits that were once human, died and today assist in the spiritual direction of other human beings. An example, which is not an exu, but follows this same concept, is the famous Zé Pilintra, who was a man and today is a helping entity.

Keep reading to find out which are the exus of each orixá and what is their direction of help for the beings that seek it!

Exus and Quimbanda

Quimbanda is a Yoruba religion that, although not as often cited as Umbanda and Candomblé, has very well known rites and practiced by the exercise of Yoruba faith. It is it, for example, that brings the concept of 'street people' into Umbanda.

It is valid to say that it is in it that the exus and pombagiras work and that, in several cases, they make use of negative force to be and be present, but this does not mean that the beings are negative, they just frequent spaces where obsessive spirits can be.

In Candomblé

Within Candomblé, Exu is one of the greatest orixás there is. This is because he is highly respected within any ritual. He is the intermediary between humans and divinities, the equivalent of the Greek Hermes, making possible all kinds of deeds, and is therefore highly respected.

His personality is understood to be that of someone who, although playful and mischievous, is fair, faithful and of his word. When his part in the deal is done right, he really does his part. Exu is much loved in Candomblé and his fame always precedes him.

In Jurema

The Jurema is a religion typically northeastern, which has a concept very similar to the Yoruba. Who is devoted to this religion is called juremeiro and its influences are mainly in the indigenous shamanism and pajelança.

Also known as Catimbó, the religion has Exu as an entity responsible for helping the left line, coordinating the works done. Its representation may be similar to Candomblé, since it is understood as a large and unique entity, different from Umbanda.

In Umbanda

Using the religious base of Quimbanda, the exus in Umbanda are understood as the 'street people' that help in the accomplishment of works done for orixás. These street people are composed of exus, which are male entities that, after being incarnated, work in the evolution of other human beings.

When these entities are female, they are known as pombagiras and their functions are determined according to each orixá for whom they 'work', the only difference is that when they were earthly beings, they were women. In general, the mission of the exus and pombagiras is very beautiful.

Phalanx of Exus of the Ogum Line

Ogum is the warrior orixá, known for its strength and courage and, as well as the majority of them, has its exus. The Exus of Ogum are, inclusive, well known in Umbanda. They are: Tranca Ruas das Almas, Exu Veludo, Exu Tira-Toco, Exu Porteira, Exu Limpa-Tudo, Exu Tranca-Gira and, finally, Exu Tira-Teima.

Exu Tranca Ruas das Almas

Known for wearing a black cape with red details, besides, of course, his pointed trident, the Tranca Rua das Almas is one of the subdivisions of the phalanx of Exu Tranca Ruas. Its energy is a little denser and he has a more serious character.

He usually defends people and the environment where he is, being very respected when descends in a gira. Exu Tranca Ruas is linked to Ogum, but the Exu Tranca Ruas das Almas is also linked to Oxalá and Omolu.

Exu Velvet

Exu Veludo is identified by wearing a turban on his head. This turban, inclusive, is made by oriental fabrics, thus giving its name, velvet. This exu is very focused on spells, of various kinds, and deals very well with objects for the execution of these spells.

Exu Tira-Toco

When we speak of the Exu Tira-Toco (or Arraca-Toco) it is important to say that it can be confused with the Caboclo Arranca Toco, which is an entity of the right side of Umbanda. The Exu Tira-Toco is, in the astral field, an Indian who has the symbol of Ogum 'tattooed' on his chest, besides carrying a green and red mantle.

He usually prefers to work in the woods, barefoot, and has, as one of his primary functions, to take care of all the clandestine cemeteries scattered through the woods. When a body is buried in an inadequate place, it is he who takes care of directing that lost soul.

Exu Porteira

Porteira in the Yoruba religions, contrary to what it may seem, means portals. The portals to the other world are, therefore, the cemeteries. Thus, the Exu Porteira is nothing less than the lord of the portals, of the cemeteries.

Pombagiras are entities that help the orixás, just like the exus, but they receive this name because they are female. A female exu is a pombagira. With this very important spiritual mission, they are very well known in the giras.

Exu Má-Canjira

Like some specific exos, Exu Má-Canjira is an intermediary between Yemanjá and Yori, being a great representative of the Earth element, like Yori, which varies from Yorimá, the celestial energy of the element that involves all carnal and spiritual beings.

But this phalanx still belongs to the Queen of the Seas, even with all its predominance in the element of Earth. And finally, in some readings and interpretations, this exu is also part of the negative line of Ibeji.

Exu Carangola

Exu Carangola earns this name because of a village of the same name, which was indigena and was pole of colonization when the Europeans, being mostly Spanish, Portuguese, French and English began to invade the African continent in search of land and riches.

This line is known to be from the Povo d'Água and is one of the few that has the presence of women (pombagiras) with their works. Within this mysticism, this field, that of Iemanjá, operates very much in line with the so-called 'Sacred Feminine', with a maternal energy that is in effect.

Pombagira Maria Mulambo

Responsible for the phalanxes Maria Mulambo das Almas and Maria Mulambo da Estrada, the pombagira Maria Mulambo is beautiful, elegant and extremely charming. She loves good quality cigarettes, soft wines, liqueurs and even a little champagne. Her elegance makes all the difference when incorporating.

Phalanx of Exus of the Iori Line

When we talk about Iori, it is important to keep in mind that we are not talking exactly about an orixá, like Xangô and Iemanjá, but about a greater energy, a symbolic and powerful spirit that cradles and nurtures children, who are fostered and worshipped within the Yoruba religions.

Exu Tiriri

The Exu Tiriri is the head of a very important phalanx within the line of Iori, which is an arm of the so-called 'Seven Divine Irradiations', which give rise to the exus that have the number 7 in their names. In addition, he has an intrinsic connection with the Exu Mirim.

The role of these two exus is actually counterposed, since Exu Tiriri acts in the negative pole with Ibeji (orixá boy), being the maintenance of the negative force circulating within the Iori energy. He breaks negative demands and works done to reach these children, although he also attends adults.

Exu Mirim

Exu Mirim, or Exu-Mirim, is an entity that is known for being very mischievous at night, which is his working hours. He works together with Exu Veludo and, unlike him, is playful and fun.

The story of these two exus begins together, since both were brothers in one of their past lives, so their mission is also interconnected, as was their life. The opposite personality of the two is what draws attention since, despite this, they get along well and respect each other.

Exu Toquinho

Exu Toquinho is a childish variation of some exus and they receive this name because it is an affectionate way of calling children. They are usually mischievous and have their stories intertwined with those of their older exes, having usually been their children in incarnate lives.

They are curious, smart and have an energetic potential focused mainly on undoing work done and protection, besides, of course, opening paths, which is one of the primary missions of exus, children or not.

Exu Ganga

When we talk about Exu Ganga, we are talking about one of the greatest exus who work in cemeteries, either with dispatches or offerings. His main line of work is to save those whose days were 'numbered' due to spells harmful to one's health and life.

His astral figure is somewhat curious, since he presents himself with black and gray clothes and his flesh is in an advanced stage of putrefaction, leaving an odor of decomposition, quite unpleasant, by the way, when walking.

Exu Manguinho

Also working in alignment with Iemanjá, Exu Manguinho is an exu mirim who works mostly to clean environments and remove negative energies from those who ask for his protection, being the connection of Iori and the Queen of Salt Water.

In addition, he also attends to the orientations of the so-called Pombagira Rainha, who is designated by Iemanjá to several, working in her line within Umbanda, as one of the main entities.

Exu Lalu

Exu Lalu is an exu with a primordial connection to Oxalá, but is in the line of Iori. One of his most peculiar characteristics is the power to dominate the sleep of the physical bodies. That's right, he can, in his healing processes, make people sleep, making everything easier and perhaps painless.

Normally, people protected by this powerful exu are sincere and very extroverted, whether speaking or even when thinking. They try not to create conflicts, are peaceful and cherish harmony, regardless of anything.

Exu Veludinho

Exu Veludinho is a mirim variation of Exu Veludo. In life, he was called Jean Paul and lived in England, being the heir to a large farm in the Monte Carlo region. Being the older brother, upon the death of his father, he took over his brother and took care of everything.

As a line of work, this powerful exu works by undoing negative demands, which were made only to harm. He also neutralizes egos and can open the paths after all the preparatory cleansing.

What is the importance of the action of the Exus and their phalanges?

The exus and pombagiras are fundamental for all the work of evolution and protection that the orixás desire and prospect for the world. Even if the religions are marginalized and not very dear in some spaces, the preciousness of the details is undeniable and should be taken into consideration.

Each one with its function. These entities, which bring us closer to spiritual evolution, work day and night so that our life may flow, operating, mainly, in our energetic fields in a unique way.

Understanding their work hierarchy also helps, and a lot, when asking for some help from these entities that, in the end, only want to help.
