Oya (Orisha)

An Orisha is an embodied divinity, reflective of a manifestation of the divine in the African Yoruba faith tradition. That expression carries over to a range of American cultural practices, from Santería to Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha to Oyotunji, displaying a richly diverse and passionate following.

Oya is an orisha of winds, lightnings, and tempestuous storms, of death and regeneration. She is renowned as Ọya-Ìyáńsàn-án, the mother of nine; due to Her enduring barrenness, She birthed nine stillborn children. Queen of the Niger river and an invincible warrior, she boasts intense sentiment, perceptivity, and appeal. Bearing dominion over the liminal realm between life and death, Oya is the guardian of necromancy, clairvoyance, spiritual discernment, and restoration. With peerless might, She can invoke or reverse the spirit of mortality.

This Orisha Statue of Oya displays an elegant and graceful allure, intricately crafted from the finest quality resin. Its intricate form and ornamental intricacies create a striking centerpiece that radiates a luxurious beauty, ideal for any space.
