Inspired by the Orisha of winds, lightning, violent storms, death, and rebirth. In Yoruba, she is known as Oya-Iyansan—the “Mother of Nine”. She is celebrated as a warrior and described as unbeatable. She is ascribed to have had great and intense feelings, sensations, and charm. She walked with a face that could not be beheld. Her presence is reflected in the dancing and swaying of trees; the whistling of the wind; the flight of birds; the sound of music; the movement of clouds and waves; the life of fire. She is symbolic of things that are felt, more often than seen.
