Oya, Ruler of the Dead, she alone yields power over
them. The four winds being dominated by Elegguá,
Orunmila, Obatalá, Oya is the Orisha of Storms,
tornadoes and twisters, hurricanes and gales.
Being a compassionate orisha, she has allowed many dying
children to live as a gift to their parents. Cemeteries
are known as "ile yansan" or Oya's house.
Whenever there is a haunting, Oya is summoned to dismiss
the spirit. Sacrifices must be made to ensure that she
takes an interest in the matter. When Oya descends, no
one looks, her face being so terrible That whoever gazes
upon it will be stricken mad or blind.

In ceremonies, When she possesses someone, she puts on a
red crepe dress or a flowered dress and weaves
multicolored ribbons around her head. She only dances
warrior dances. When her "children" enter trance, some
of them can handle live coals with their bare hands.
