Oya - Goddess of Winds, Tempest and Change
Divine beings of natural elements
Oshun nurtures and heals,
While Oya is the wild force
That sweeps away the old
To make way for the new.
Their dual nature reflects the world
Sometimes harsh and chaotic
Sometimes gentle and restorative.
13. Yoruba Orishas (Yoruba Mythology)
In Yoruba mythology from West Africa, Orishas are divine beings associated with natural elements. Two well-known Orishas related to nature are Oya and Oshun. Oya is the goddess of winds, tempests, and change. She’s like the wild force of nature that sweeps away the old to make way for the new.
Oshun, on the other hand, is the goddess of rivers, love, and fertility. She’s the balancing counterpart to Oya, embodying qualities like grace, beauty, and diplomacy. Where Oya destroys, Oshun nurtures and heals. The coexistence of these two Orishas captures the dual nature of the world we live in—sometimes harsh and chaotic, other times gentle and restorative. https://teaandrosemary.com/gods-and-goddesses-of-nature/
