Oya ( Iansã ) - The Powerful Orisha of Winds and Storms - Yoruba Mythology

[@afrinaut3094]

I just stumbled across this video. I’m grateful that you actually mentioned that Oya is the guardian of the transitioning of souls into the afterlife.. without her there is no Egungun festival! This is a huge ability of hers, that is often forgotten.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

I believe the X-Men’s Storm was stated to be the mortal incarnation of Oya though she was also stated to have been an Egyptian Goddess at another story.

[@stevengreen9536]

@vginsprdsobepr Idk about those parts of Storm's back story. But chances are Oya was the inspiration for Storm.

Now that was quite amazing Yoruba Mythology history. Totally impressive!

[@Teddy143Fresa]

I wonder if the marvel peeps were aware of Oya crafting Storm?

[@leirelarrakoetxea5747]

Maybe

[@chrisedwards3214]

Yes they was stan Lee and the folks at marvel was deep into mythology and paganism

[@axelrenesuzuki9334]

wow that's very beautiful woman God winds Oya and beautiful name and easy name Jah I love that aye wow that's awesome 💯 video absolutely I love your video my dear brother father.

[@patrickmcguire7896]

Why isn’t their a movie or TV show about Yoruba mythology?!

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

Why isn't there a movie about Yoruba mythology? Because some people prefer to blackwash European stories, like the story about Ariel than take something genuinely African and make a new movie or show.

[@patrickmcguire7896]

@@ozymandiasultor9480 I hear Hercules will be getting the same treatment. It sucks their are tons of African and non European myths that would make great stories but Hollywood is to lazy to try them

[@ville4090]

Because they rather get martyrized by rightists when they bastardize an overexposed mythology/legend.

[@nigelkhan1969]

Modern studios are too lazy to research mythologies worldwide 🌐 😪 They are also very political and openly biased in their agendas. That little mermaid movie was nonsense and i live in the Caribbean. Mermaids don't originate from here, smh

[@Mythpathz]

@@patrickmcguire7896 yeah and it's sucks but I hope other industries can do proper justice if they make movie about mythologies

Good video thanks

[@yusufbabatundeahmed]

Oya is a Yoruba Diety not just an Afro-Brazilian deity.

[@l.alejandrorivera3893]

I want to know, who’s the equivalent of Zeus and Odin in this Pantheon???!

[@yusufbabatundeahmed]

Olorun is the supreme deity with great authority. While Shango is the god of lighting,thunder and fire.

[@oluwadamilola6233]

​@@yusufbabatundeahmedọlọrun is greater than both Zeus and Odin as he is the creator of the universe,Zeus isn't a creation god, Odin I think it's closer but Odin is more like obatala. Olorun /Olodumare= omnipotent Creator of everything
