ORISHA OYÁ | YANSÃ | OYA

DIRECTION, MOVEMENT, CLEANSING, COURAGE

Yansã is the beauty of the sky painted by the magnificent colors of sunset. Also she is a feisty warrioress who dominates the storm and all sky movements. She is the power of the whirlwind. Her spiral-windy dance moves every single thing from the dense material form to the subtle energies. The Lady of the wind stirs her powerful Ofange sword to point out the right direction for any lost mind or soul. Her Ofange has the mystery of nine swords. Yansã is the perfect combination between the strength of a buffalo and the beauty of a butterfly.
