Oya / Yansa - Dark Feminine Archetype - Goddess of Storms and Change - African / Brazilian Deity

Work with this deities energies on a Wednesday, as that is her day of the week.
A day to avoid new undertakings or major projects of any kind.
This is the proper day, however, for rituals to the witches (Aje) and also for rituals to your businesses.

Oya is the Spirit of the Wind, the Òrìṣà of change, death, and transformation. Known as the Tempest and Queen of Oyo, she is the Mother of Nine and the guardian of the cemetery gates. Fierce and untamed, she commands hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms — often riding beside her consort, Sango, as thunder and lightning unite.

Oya embodies the sudden shifts of life: fortune turning to loss, endings giving birth to beginnings. This is why she is also honored as the Òrìṣà of the Marketplace, where wealth and luck rise and fall in a moment. No trader or businessperson in Ifá tradition would begin without acknowledging her, for she governs both risk and renewal.

Her sacred colors are purple, maroon, and earthy reds, and her number is nine. The buffalo is her animal, fierce and unstoppable, and eggplant is her sacred food, echoing her deep, storm-dark hue. In nature, she is the Niger River, and in the body she rules the lungs, bronchial passages, and membranes of breath. Planetarily, she resonates with Pluto — death, regeneration, and transformation.

She presides over herbs of breath and renewal, including mullein, comfrey, cherry bark, pleurisy root, elecampane, horehound, and chickweed.

Offerings (Ebo): Oya is pleased with eggplants (often in sets of nine), rum, gin, beer, wine, plums, and purple grapes. Palm oil, kola nuts, and coconuts are also fitting gifts. Animal offerings may include hens or female goats, depending on the aspect of her warrior nature invoked. Nine-colored ribbons or pinwheels, which harness the wind, are also beloved symbols at her shrine. I generally keep 9 bottles of liquor and 9 cigars as an offering for her.

Oya’s energy is fierce, abrupt, and undeniable. She tears away what is stagnant, opening space for new breath, new life, and new power. To walk with Oya is to embrace the storm as medicine.


Oya commands the winds of change.
She guards the gates of death,
And dances in lightning and fire.

Her love is fierce, her truth unflinching.
Where Oya comes, life cannot remain the same.

✨ Takeaway:
To embody Oya is to embrace change,
To let the storm strip away what no longer serves,
And to trust that renewal follows destruction.

🌪️ Practice:
Step into the wind today and whisper:
“I am reborn through change.”

🔮 Invocation – Call the Storm
Raise your arms to the sky and say:
“Oya, whirlwind mother,
Blow through my life with fierce grace.
Tear down what imprisons me.
Let me rise in freedom.”
