Eguns are the spirits of the followers of this religion, people who have evolved and after death continue to be with us working in this field, while those of the astral are the Quimbanderos. Quimbanderos rule, direct and administer the kingdom. Each Quimbandero has its own position and specific tasks.
Eguns are led by Eshus.
Eshu is on earth, on fire, in air, in water, and in cemeteries.
Eshu uses black because black is the hidden power and red energises the hidden.
Eshus are painted in red because red is the colour of strength, vitality and life.
Eshu is the lord of limit.
Always bear in mind that good and evil are not in Eshu but in the human being.
