Oya Worship Day Greetings, Oya is the Orisa of the wind. Through Oya’s wind she has the power to transform, inspire and defend her devotees. Take the time to focus on what you want to change in your life. Allow her winds of change to transform you. Change requires letting go of things that don’t support your growth and allow the things that do to be more prevalent in your life. Go with the flow of change and allow Oya to make a new you today. #oya #256healingarts #chiefalaje #isese #lukumk #santeria

Sango Worship Day Greetings, One thing that we no about life is that it’s full of obstacles and challenges, everyday we are faced with opposition sometimes large and sometimes small. The Orisa Sango teaches us to walk tall and strong when we are experiencing our obstacles and challenges in life. Call upon Sango and stand tall, walk with his royal spiritual presence, face your obstacles and you will be successful. The only way to fail is to run away from the obstacles or challenges. Meet them and Sango will fight for you. #shango, #sango, #victory, #256healingarts #chiefalaje #orisha #ifa #isese

Osun Worship Day Greetings, Osun's image of being half woman and half fish has been used by cultures all over the world. How ever the knowledge of what the woman fish is has remained secret. Osun and Yemoja can exist as half woman and half fish. Osun is the woman that that lives in the Osun River. She is represented by the fish for many reasons and one of them is Fertility. A fish can produce 100's of eggs at a time and 100,000's of eggs in a lifetime. Osun's ability of bestowing Fertility to her devotes can be related to children of course but it doesn't stop there. Osuns ability to produce in large volumes is equated to Wealth, Longevity, Success and so much more. Take the time and embody the concept of fertility today, your ideas have the power to give birth to more ideas and to more opportunities. Through the power of Osun you have the power to produce what ever you want in large volumes. Call upon the spirit of Osun to fertilize your ideas, produce your visions, and to nurture them for an eternity. Make your fertile dreams become your reality. Ase ooo
