The orixás are very powerful, so they do not incorporate into mediums. Thus, they are the collaborators, that is, missionary spirits that work for the orixá that they incorporate. They are: the Pretos Velhos, the Baianos, the Marinheiros, the Ciganos, the Caboclos, the Boiadeiros, the Exus and Pombogiras and the children or Ibejada.

Give me the sobriety to persist in my goals.

I ask for patience for me to forgive my enemies and perseverance for me to survive in all difficult situations.

Give me, compadre, the hope and certainty of return.

I ask, also, that with your cloak, you light my paths and comfort me always... Laroyê Exu!"

"When you feel in darkness, may Oxalá cover you with his mantle of light; If the fire of anger invades you, may the sweet waters of Oxum calm you; For the dark clouds of disillusionment, Iansã will emanate her winds and the sun will shine; When you are wronged, Xangô will weigh his scales, and the stones will roll burying your pain;

During the arduous battle of anxiety, Ogum will dress you in strong armor and wield his sword in your favor; If loneliness strikes your spirit, Iemanjá will bathe you in her salty waters and carry everything to the bottom of the sea; If you are wounded in the soul, Oxóssi will cover you with all the healing herbs; When you feel like giving up, may the Old Black Men grant you the wisdom to keep going;

For the sadness that overwhelms you, may the Eree renew you with purity and joy; For the evil desires and spells that torment you, may the Guardians run amok, and annihilate and drive away all evil from you.

So be it!"

Message from Exu Capa Preta

"Darkness is not always the lack of light, it is a crooked path, it is walking on thorns.

Who was it that said Exu has no heart?

Who was it who said that Exu does not respect God?

Who was it that said Exu is vengeful?

Who said it, because that's what it is, everyone says it, everyone talks about Exu, everyone talks about Umbanda, about Candomblé, because throwing stones is easier when it is on the neighbor's window.

For, it is easier to hate than to love, it is easier to criticize than to respect, it is easier to defend yourself by attacking!

I am not a saint, nor a defender of the aggressor, but I want justice, the right word is the tongue without poison. Do not buy me, do not give me gifts, I am a messenger,

I am a Guardian, I live in charity, not in darkness.

Keeper of the Black Cloak."
