Oya resides in a porcelain toureen painted in nine colors.Ornaments:
Her image has a crown with nine points from which hang nine ornaments: a pick, a hoe, an Ochosi fetish, a lightning bolt, a scythe, a stick, a mattock, a rake, and a hatchet. She also "owns" a rainbow and a shooting star.Power objects:
A black horsetail whisk, an iruke. Nine copper bracelets.Collars:
Black and white. Repeat order: nine black beads followed by nine white beads. Then, black and white beads alternate nine times.Clothing:
Oya dresses in skirts made of the dried fibrous tissue found on the upper part of the royal palm frond, yagua, and the fan palm. She also wears an over skirt made of hanging kerchiefs in nine colors. The remainder of her costume is flowered crinoline. A strip of the same material, or multi-colored ribbons, is wound around her head.Offerings:
Oya likes white rice with eggplant. Black eyed peas. Black female goats. Black chickens.Dances:
When Oya dances, she shakes the black horsetail whisk to clean bad influences from the air. Her dance is very frenetic, very fast. It's a bacchanal, delirious. She carries a flaming torch in her right hand, making a fiery whirlwind as she spins to the left.OYA 1
