HA! Just Oya. I take my name from Yoruba mythology. Oya is the Goddess of the Niger River. She is the spirit of lightning, fertility, the warrior-spirit of the windfire, and magic. She creates hurricanes and tornadoes, and guards the underworld. She is the spirit of tornadoes (which are said to be her whirling skirts as she dances), lightning , earthquakes, and any kind of destruction. In addition, Oya is the spirit of change, transition, and the chaos that often brings it about. I LOVE Mythology. A someone who is still learning, I'm unsure if I'm ready to submit to anyone just yet.
