In the Yoruba religion and diaspora, Oya is revered as the goddess of the winds, lightning, and change. She is a complex and dynamic deity, symbolizing the forces of nature that can both create and destroy.

Oya is depicted as a strong and assertive woman, wielding a machete or sword, emphasizing her role as a warrior. She is also associated with the ancestral spirits and is believed to guide the souls of the departed. Oya's colors are often red and purple, reflecting the intensity and power associated with her.

In Yoruba cosmology, Oya is one of the wives of the god Shango, the deity of thunder and lightning. Together, they form a formidable couple, embodying the forces of nature and the cycles of life. Devotees of Oya seek her guidance and protection during times of change, upheaval, and personal transformation, as she is believed to bring about positive transitions and help individuals navigate challenges.

In Santeria and Candomble, Oya's day is Wednesday. In these traditions, Oya is often syncretized with the Catholic Saint, Our Lady of Candelaria.
