Oya Goddess Pendant

Oya is the Yoruba Goddess of Change and Transformation. She is the powerful Primeval Mother of Chaos. Oya brings about sudden dramatic change in people and objects. She is the Goddess of the winds and of tropical weather. Her power manifests in lightning, fire, tornadoes, earthquakes and storms of all kinds.

Oya cuts through stagnation and makes the way for new growth. Her magical number is Nine. Oya is the first breath and the last, the one who carries the spirits of the dead across the threshold to other worlds. A powerful goddess of transformation, harness the forces of Oya when you are in need of dramatic change in people, places or things.

My Oya goddess pendant is handmade, incised with concentric circles into the wet clay. Glazed a soft transparent gray-blue with mother-of-pearl finish, then fired and wrapped with sterling silver wire. The ceramic piece is fired three times, first to harden the natural earth clay, next to melt the glaze and a final firing to bake on the mother-of-pearl finish. Size: 2.25". Includes a description card.
