Exu Umbanda 3D print model

In Umbanda, Exu is a spiritual entity associated with communication, the opening of paths, and justice. Unlike the distorted view that links him to evil, Exu is a guardian of crossroads, a messenger between the spiritual and material planes, and a great protector.

Each Exu has a name and unique characteristics, such as Exu Tranca-Rua, Exu Caveira, Exu Veludo, among others, each with a specific role within spirituality. They work alongside Pombagiras, their female counterparts, bringing balance between spiritual forces.

Exu teaches that every action has a consequence and that one must act responsibly when making requests and seeking spiritual assistance. He opens paths for those who are deserving and closes them for those who act with bad intentions.
