Oya

Deliverance

Death, destruction, woe, and loss,

deep despair amongst chaos.

Withstand the storm to be free,

deliverance is liberty!

By the power of the Dark Goddess in me,

protection in place. Blessed Be.

Guidance

Turbulent, unsettling times reach a climax, heralding the end of something major in your life that you can no longer avoid. Take Oya’s hand now as she blows it all asunder, scattering the debris of the past far and wide. Oya will ensure no hint of the difficulties remain and  lead you through this time of death and chaos to something new. Deliverance is her gift when you face death in all its forms, for without death the cycle of life would cease to exist; we would cease to be and all that you have yet to experience would not have he space nor opportunity to manifest itself. This African goddess of old is to be welcomed and treasured as her presence now is the stimulus you need to move forward in your life. Trying to take on this immense force of nature, or fight against it, will prove your undoing. Learn this lesson now, and what awaits will make it all worthwhile.

Foresight

A house move further afield is likely. Let go of old patterns and behaviors. A job is coming to an end. A death changes your outlook. End an unhealthy relationship. A birth in the family is announced. Take a last minute holiday to somewhere unfamiliar. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Oya Revealed

Archetypal “reaper” of African origin, Oya symbolized the first and last breath of life. This primordial deity of immense power and influence was linked to both the Niger and Amazon rivers, yet more often than not, it was the fiercest of winds that heralded her presence. She was the compassionate guardian of the unborn, who, after death, she delivered to the other side.
