My Story
Oya, the fierce Orisha of winds, storms, and transformation, is the keeper of change. Her breath stirs the trees, her storms clear the path for new beginnings, and her lightning opens the gates between worlds.
In Yoruba tradition, Oya is known as the guardian of the cemetery gates, the one who guides spirits on their journey. She is fearless, walking between life and death, light and shadow. Yet she is also the Orisha of renewal — for with every storm she brings, new growth follows.
Oya is power, passion, and unyielding truth. She teaches that to embrace change is to embrace life itself. Her symbols are the whirlwind, the buffalo, and the marketplace — all places of movement, transformation, and destiny.
To honor Oya, people call on her for courage in times of upheaval, for clarity when facing endings, and for strength to step boldly into what comes next.
When the winds rise and thunder shakes the earth, it is Oya who dances — reminding us that change, though fierce, is the doorway to rebirth.
