Abstract

Many papers have already pointed out several Exus ' features and action possibilities in Brazilian religious field; however, while observing practices in terreiros throughout Brazil, as well as ritual glyphs and naming of these Exus , it is possible to notice innumerous remaining gaps. We have analyzed more than three hundred ritual glyphs and names given to Exus , and, therewith, we perceived the dynamics presented by such emblematic personages in the pantheon of afro-Brazilian religions, especially of Umbanda, as far as their powers and abilities are concerned.
