🌪️ ỌYA — THE FIRE IN THE WIND, THE STORM THAT TRANSFORMS Ọya is one of the most intense, respected, and transformational Orishas in the Yoruba pantheon. She embodies wind, storms, sudden change, death, rebirth, marketplace prosperity, and fierce feminine power. She is the Warrior-Queen, the Goddess of the River Niger, and the Mother of Nine Children (Iyá Mẹ́ṣàn). She moves fast, destroys obstacles, clears pathways, and empowers those who seek courage, transformation, and elevation in life. #Oy
