The Naná Burukú archetype represents the most elusive and varied force among those that populate the human mind. Its presence is so remote that it even surpasses the force of Oshumaré, the two-headed serpent. The immensity of the unknown has always been above our heads, since the dawn of knowledge. Looking at the night, man has always felt his own smallness and fragility. Everything in the dark is potentially dangerous. We cannot distinguish shapes, colors, we cannot see well either from near or from afar. Everything becomes dangerous if it cannot be dominated by our awareness. When we don't see well, the world is populated with shadows and indefinable presences, which move and live around us. In the black of cosmic darkness, light originated. Black is the primary matrix. Light is its derivative. Black is our true mother. The origin of everything that exists is found in that black that divides one star from another, and which is the primordial soup made of possibilities that perhaps one day will manifest themselves and become “real” in our eyes.
