About Orisha Oya
Oya is one of the most powerful female deities in Yoruba cosmology. Known as the **goddess of wind, storms, lightning, fire, and magic**, she embodies transformation, justice, and feminine power. She is also honored as the **guardian of women, fertility, rebirth, and the marketplace**.
According to Yoruba mythology, Oya was the beloved wife of Sango, the thunder god, and together they formed an unstoppable force. Oya never experienced death; instead, she ascended into the Orisha realm with Sango, continuing to be revered across Africa and the diaspora, including Brazil and the Caribbean.
