Boi e seu Exu

Bull and Exu are both important figures in Brazilian culture, but they represent very different things. The bull is often associated with strength and power, and is a common symbol in Brazilian folklore, music, and dance. It is often depicted in vibrant colors and with intricate designs, and is often used in Carnaval celebrations.

On the other hand, Exu is a figure from Afro-Brazilian religions, and is often associated with trickery, chaos, and the crossing of boundaries. Exu is sometimes referred to as the messenger between humans and the spiritual world, and is often depicted as a mischievous and unpredictable figure. Despite his sometimes controversial reputation, Exu is an important figure in many Brazilian religious practices and is highly respected by those who follow these traditions.

One of the most important roles of Exu is to act as a messenger between humans and the spiritual world.
