(you remind the scene? ) Richard wonders how places the ceremonial of this "election" in the teaching of the god. Here are purposes of the watchmaker. 

In clear, here is how it is necessary to hear the legend; it tells: gods wanted to know what is, among tools of which they are carrier, that that is the most important for humans; it is the meaning that it is necessary to give to their trip. And all, safe one, - the god of crossroads, - began by not valorizing that of which they are symbols. To my notice, it is a sufficient reason in order that the Spirit of the head is elected; but also once, ways of the Lord. .. You know the continuation.

An other aspect of the teaching that we some have pulled is found in a proverb that tells, that a good recommendation costs better that a talisman; but there, it concerns the daily of humans between - them. This last teaching is what I can call the principle of reality, that orders that a problem is posed and approached according to the objective that is aimed; that it is posed in function of means that are available; and non according to our desires or our pretensions. ..................................................

........... " - You see Richard, tells me the old man without leaving the chessboard of eyes, in our language, to reflect tells "to respect its head. "But I would be more precise by translating into: "to evaluate its head" ; to evaluate in the senses to count. The nuance is tiny, and it is practically impossible to render in your language because it would be necessary to render also the context in its lesser details."

After that it being pacified in a figurine of clay, Lêgba decided to hold in crossed them of paths. Here is what tells some the watchmaker.

It is to each man to seize the symbolism of this god. The problem of its geographical location is only an allegory. To the extent its function first, then that of all the other Spirits that it tends to join to us are to the service of the man, this allegory has to be understood as an indication of the real teaching of the god. It is necessary to do not lose the view that the ancient had always taught that our gods are in us; we can not to tell some more. "

That this god to the - over all others is honored in crossroads seem me to notice a logic that costed some an other, to the light of the legend that one comes to tell me. I thought to have all understood; and I tell, to conclude:

 " - in sum, by venerating it then in each house, it is as if one transports crossroads in the residence. "

 Hardly had - I finished to speak, that the watchmaker intervened with abruptness; it exclaimed:

.............................. (You know the continuation of the purpose. )

A GOD THAT IS MULTIPLIED

 This Spirit had lost, there also, its harmony by its gluttony; because it is necessary to share. It is necessary to share because it is not good that the miserable is too miserable. It is not good that the pauper suffers too. We believe indeed, that the suffering of the pauper is also that the whole whose we are only an element. This suffering destroyed the serenity and counters the realization of the harmony of the whole; and that, because the suffering delays the arrival from the individual harmony that according to us, is an indispensable step to the great harmony. Pacified, the god found its serenity. It found its harmony and the generosity that would have never to abandon it. It resuscitated its mother. It decided then to reside in each house, that wishes, it to remind us to each instant the necessity of the sharing; the necessity of the serenity and the generosity, to little that it is honored. Here is why you will find Lêgba, it is its name in our language, in each resides. It is the first of gods; and it is the alone that multiplied as pieces of the gluttonous child.

Indeed, each time that it is honored, it is multiplied in us, and it allows us to increase our serenity; each time that we honor it, we near a bit more of the individual harmony. "
