Oya - Oya is one of the most powerful African Goddesses (Orishas). A Warrior-Queen, much of Oya's power is rooted in the natural world; She is the Goddess of thunder, lightning, tornadoes, winds, rainstorms and hurricanes. A Fire Goddess, it is Oya who brings rapid change and aids us in both inner and outer transformation. Oya is the guardian of the realm between life and death; as such, She is not only the Goddess of spirit communication, funerals and cemeteries but also the Goddess of clairvoyance, psychic abilities, intuition and rebirth. She can call forth the spirit of death, or hold it back -- such is the extent of Her power. Because of Her affiliation to the dead, and Her intense knowledge of the magick arts, Oya is also known as "the Great Mother of the Elders of the Night (Witches)". Oya is both loved and feared, and for good reason: unleashed, Oya is the Savage Warrior, the Protective Mother, She whose power sweeps all injustice, deceit and dishonesty from Her path. She will destroy villages if the need is true enough, for while She understands everything, She will only accept, act upon, and speak the truth (even when it is hard to bear). Oya is the protectress of women and patron of feminine leadership. Fiercely loving, She is wildly unpredictable and can change from benevolent, caring Mother to destructive Warrior in the blink of an eye. Passionate, fearless, sensual and independent, Oya is not a Goddess to be invoked lightly and must be treated with respect and care. While She will toss you in Her storms of change, and shelter you in Her caring embrace, She will also strike you down with Her lightning should the need arise. However, do not let that dissuade you from working with Oya, for She is the Strong Woman, the Bringer of Change and Seeker of Truth, who can be a most powerful ally. Take this quiz!

Greetings MySpacers! I am a revolutionary,a wife,a healer,a birth doula , a massage therapist/neuromuscular therapist, and a devotee to Spirit. It is my desire to work to help heal Mother Earth's children in what ever capacity i can. I am also an advocate for natural childbirth and breastfeeding. I'm not a religious person but I do honor my ancestors, the orisa and the Mother Goddess. These are the voices that lead me on my journey. I am also a wife to one and a friend to many.
I love music but please don't send me ANY MUSICAL FRIENDSHIP REQUESTS!!! If your stuff is something I like, I'll find you, trust me!!!
Some of my favorite musical artists are Martin Luther, India Arie, Gaelle, Dianne Reeves, John Coltrane, Little Louis Vega, Blaze and a host of others. I am a Tarot reader and a student of world spiritual systems particularly, African ones. God/dess is everywhere, not just a church or temple (S/he is also inside of you too!)
I'm 5'8, slender but cute, have a sarcastic wit, and I love to talk to people who are open-minded. I recently went back to being a vegetarian and I absolutely love it!!! I still adore Thai, soulfood, Greek food...Good food is just good food and Mama likes to eat LOL!
I don't go to clubs but I love to go to live shows, poetry readings, art shows and book signings. Yes, I know, I'm a bit of a nerd, but that's me.
Who I'd like to meet: Those who are interested in change!!! Healers, meta physicians, mothers, fathers, Afrikan traditionalists, Goddess worshipers, teachers of Truth.
Take the quiz: Which Egyptian God or Goddess do you represent? (Pictures!) Ma'at, Goddess of Order, Harmony, and Truth Ma'at was the goddess of physical and moral law in Egypt, of order and truth. She was not much of a goddess, but more of a concept. She was what was right; she was the way things should be.
You lead a very well-ordered life. You are just and keep things in balance. You know just how to react to things, and people like you for that.
I would like to share the Kundalini Yoga E-Guide for home practice that I recently released. I'm having an online fundraiser to put funds towards the EYE AM YOGA Community Programs, so any purchases of the e-guide will go towards the programs too.
We must redefine the way We view Our-selves placing emphasis on how Beautifull Black really is.. As long as we are defined by others, we will never see or feel Our inherent worth… Oneness*
