Ọya (Yorùbá: Ọya, also known as Oyá or Oiá; Yàńsàn-án or Yansã; and Iansá or Iansã in Latin America) is an orisha of winds, lightning, and violent storms, death, and rebirth. She is similar to the Haitian lwa Maman Brigitte who is syncretized with the Catholic Saint Brigit. In Yorùbá, the name Ọya is morphologically coined from "O ya" which means "she tore." She is known as Ọya-Ìyáńsàn-án, the "mother of nine", because of nine children she gave birth to, all stillborn, suffering from a lifetime of barrenness. She is the patron of the Niger River (known to the Yorùbá as the Odò-Ọya).

  • Oyá (Yansa) ist in der Religion der Yoruba die Orisha der Winde (afenfe), Stürme und des neunarmigen Flusses Niger. Als die Frau Changós besitzt sie beinahe ebenso große Kräfte. Sie wacht am Tore des Friedhofs, den sie von Yemayá übernahm, sowie auf Märkten. In einem allgemeineren Sinne gilt Oyá als Göttin des Wandels, der Transformation und des Übergangs. Als Schutzherrin weiblicher Führerschaft verkörpert sie eine zwischen Mütterlichkeit und Kriegertum changierende Weiblichkeit sowie den Kampf gegen Ungerechtigkeit und Unterdrückung. (de)

  • Oiá (em iorubá: Oyá), também chamado Iansã, provém do nome do rio na Nigéria, onde seu culto é realizado, atualmente chamado de rio Níger. É uma divindade do fogo, como Xangô, mas também é relacionada ao elemento ar, regendo os raios. É uma das divindades que, ao lado de Airá e Afefê Icu, (o vento da morte), domina os ventos. O nome Iansã trata-se de um título que Oiá recebeu de Xangô, que faz referência ao entardecer. Iansã quer dizer A mãe do céu rosado ou A mãe do entardecer. Era como ele a chamava pois dizia que ela era radiante como o entardecer. (pt)
