Because he is the one that opens or closes the way for an offering so the order or appreciation, can continue the right way, without deviating from its intention to which it was granted. for a request to be conceded Because of an agreement that was made. an opportunity Èsú with Òrúnmìlà.
Èsú already existed almost at the same time that Olódùmarè and leads all the forces of darkness, while Olódùmarè leads all forces of the light. The relationship Olódùmarè – Èsú is what sets the balance between good and evil although there is no absolute good, nor an absolute evil. In fact, Èsú is as powerful as Olódùmarè, the only difference which exists between the two is that Olódùmarè can create, while that Èsú, cannot create, only works on the creation of Olódùmarè. Èsú can all do at least create. That is where all other Òrisà that each has a specific role exceeds.
