Ọya, also known as Oiá, is a prominent and powerful African goddess who is widely worshipped in several West African, Brazilian, and Caribbean countries. She is a fierce and powerful goddess associated with storms, transformation, death, and rebirth
Hello my lovelies! First time dipping into Afro centric mythology (aside from Egypt). It was so fun to dive in and learn more about this goddess, who has a few different interpretations depending on the region!

"A small portion of a larger painting. This is Olokun, the god of the primordial waters. Angered that Obatala created the lands without her consent, Olokun sought to reclaim her dominion with a great flood. To stop the floods Obatala chains her to the bottom of the ocean…this is the very moment before she is imprisoned within her own kingdom. She stands as a symbol of the chaos that bubbles beneath our calm surface, a profound reminder of the lesser-known parts of ourselves we often retreat from."

Oya’s Betrayal
Oya’s Betrayal tells a Yoruba tale, a patakí, about a relationship between orishas Ogun, Oya, and Shango in a Renaissance style. Harmonia Rosales was inspired by artistic depictions of the Roman myth of Vulcan, Venus, and Mars.
