GU

In Fon mythology, Gu was a blacksmith-god who took not human form but the shape of a tool. At the beginning of creation his parent, Mawu-Lisa, made him in the form of a trowel, using him to mould human beings from the celestial dung-heap. When mortals were establishing themselves on earth. Mawu-Lisa changed Gu's shape to that of a metal blade embedded in a rock, and sent him to earth to teach humans how to make and use tools of their own.
