Oya

The Queen of the Winds, the Lightning, and the Gates of the Cemetery. Oya is the fierce warrior-spirit of change and transformation. She is the storm that blows down the dead trees to make room for the new forest. As the guardian of the threshold between life and death, she leads the ancestors in their dance. She represents the "Holy Breath" and the sudden, violent shifts of fate. She is the edge of the sword and the whirlwind that carries the soul home.
