Eku Ose Sango Ati Oya

On this day in traditional Ifa, we celebrate Sango and Oya. This thread will spotlight the female orisa Oya, the keeper of the wind.

This is a video of a pastor who was disrespecting the orisha and Oya swiftly came down.

Oya is a powerful warrior orisa of the wind, of storms, of the cycle of death and rebirth. She is incredible change personified. It’s said when Sango comes with his thunder, his wife Oya will also soon arrive.

Oya is the keeper of the marketplace, wealth is attached to her name

Whenever you see a storm overhead and the air feels fertile with change, know that Oya is present.

Since she sees over the painful and swift transformation of life, do not call down Oya if you are not ready for a complete overhaul of your old life.

Folks pray to Oya to help with their relationship and suddenly they break up with their partner. To help with their job and suddenly they get fired.

Oya takes away what you have been holding on too tightly. Her energy is like an ass whooping, you sleep good afterwards.

When Oya arrives, you will be thankful that she came. Because with her giving death to old parts of life, she gives you the opening for new beginnings to start. The mother of tough love and fierce protection.

Oya awa ewe, she who tears the leaf! This is a dance of Oya from Cuba!
