Oya
Change is necessary for growth

Oya is the queen of the river Niger. In the Yoruba religion, she commands winds, storms, and transforma on. Oya is the guide for souls transi oning from the earthly realm to the spiritual world, represented by the arc that frames her head. This Diva carries her sword whose cut emphasizes both destruc on and renewal. Oya’s medallion features her signature color, purple, symbolizing strength, change, and the vital connec on between the physical and spiritual realms. The pearls remind us that even grains of sand can evolve into objects of beauty over me. Oya’s message is that life is dynamic, and change is necessary for growth and transformation
