Elegua Dos Cabezas Cemento 4" Tall

The two-headed cement Eleguá (often associated with Eshu) serves in Santería primarily to open paths, protect the home, and maintain the balance between good and evil. This two-faced representation symbolizes constant vigilance, the duality of life (opportunity and deception), and the ability to see everything that happens around him. 

• Protector of the Home: It is commonly placed behind the front door to protect the inhabitants from negative energies, the evil eye, and enemies.
• Opener and Closer of Paths: Eshu/Eleguá controls fortune and misfortune. The two heads help ensure that, while paths for growth and good luck are opened, those paths that lead to danger or evil are closed.
• Representation of Duality: This form is often associated with Eshu, the more uncontrollable energy than Eleguá, who acts as a messenger between the orishas and human beings. The two-faced figure helps manage these complex and ambivalent energies.
