Step into the whirlwind with Oya, the fierce goddess of storms, change, and the ancestral veil. In this illuminating course, we explore Oya’s mythology and role as the divine force behind rebirth, renewal, and transformation. From her tumultuous love affair with Shàngó to her mutation into a sacred river, Oya teaches us how to rise from loss, harness our energy, and forge a new path forward.
Her story is one of destruction that leads to growth, grief that fuels purpose, and endings that birth new beginnings. Through her sacred winds and underworld connections, Oya helps us embrace the full cycle of death and metamorphosis.

- A rich interpretation of Oya’s myth and what it reveals about power, passion, and personal evolution
- A demonstration of how to honor Oya through her accepted sacrifices, non-life force offerings, and ritual taboos
