Oya
The
Yoruban Goddess of the Winds is shown here twirling around her favorite
offerings: grapes, plums, and, if you look under her skirt, 9 slices of
eggplant. She is invoked for transformation and sweeping away decay. When
you need change in your life and have the courage to accept it, approach
her. Be advised that her methods are sudden and dramatic. Her warrior
energy is the force behind hurricanes and tornadoes. The cemetery is her
garden.
Oya is particularly relevant to the independent woman who is responsible
for her own financial and emotional well-being. She is a shrewd businesswoman
and rules the marketplace. Known as Yansa in Brazil, she enjoys a huge
following there.
Oya is available as 8x10 framed print, t-shirt, candle and greeting card.
