Se alafia ni to all, modupe pupo (I humbly thank you) for all the kind words. I am a mere vessl that Oya speaks (& rides) thru. I can only speak the truth & try to help those searching for the truth about OYA. In time, I will write another excerpt to show the differences & similarities of Oya as it pertians to her in the Santeria, Lukumi, Candomble, & indigenous (Nigeria & Beninese) perspective. Blessing to everyone for taking time out to leave a comment. May OYA (Eeep Oya o), continue to guide, protect, bless everyone from her gourd(s) of ire!!!!

This article is very enlightened. Although orisha is the faith of my grand mother and great grand mother i have only recently started to pay interest in the religion. your article gave me another insight to the orisha that rules over my head. Thank you

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for explaining to us more about Oya. I am not currently in a family and haven’t been in a long time, so I have to learn what little I can on how to worship the Orisa’s on my own. So now I know basically what to offer Oya when I feel the need to make an alter to her. May you always be blessed.

I enjoyed reading the post. I am from Trinidad & Tobago and we are protected by Oya form storms & hurricanes because of the hills of our Northern Range. the color for Oya there is Green, Green & white or heavily patterned fabric. Because the religion is known as Shango Oya has pride of place among most devotees. All of us Oya children need to be doing what you are doing writing and advancing the knowledge of and about this powerful deity. Blessings to you. I pray that Oya will continue to bless and nurture you Ashe! Epa OYA O!!!!!
