Pontos de Exus - Conselho de Exu

The song "Pontos de Exus - Conselho de Exu" performed by Juliana D Passos from the channel Macumbaria, delves into the spiritual and mystical aspects of Afro-Brazilian religions, particularly Umbanda. The lyrics describe a journey through the spiritual realm, guided by various entities known as Exus, who are often misunderstood as malevolent figures but are actually protectors and messengers.

The song begins with a solitary walk in the calunga, which is a term that can refer to the cemetery or the spiritual realm of the dead. The presence of the moon and the crowing of the rooster set a mystical scene, where the singer encounters Exu Caveira and Pomba Gira Padilha, entities that impart wisdom about loyalty, strength, protection, and the consequences of vengeance. The mention of a rose given by Padilha symbolizes the complexity of love and the pain that can come from seeking revenge.

As the song progresses, more Exus appear, each sharing insights about life, friendship, and spiritual growth. The lyrics emphasize that Umbanda is a path of love, humility, and evolution, urging the listener to remove malice from their life and to be a light in the darkness. The song concludes with the realization that Exu is not about evil or suffering, but rather about strength, courage, life, and unity. The message is clear: the true evil lies within those who judge and deny their fellow beings. The awakening at the end of the song signifies a newfound understanding and appreciation for the role of Exu as a guardian and protector.
