From Tarot Lukumi, the Queen of Wands; from the Diloggun Cards, Osa (9 mouths):
The Queen of Wands is symbolized by Oya, described as sensual, beautiful and dreadfully strong. This Orisha is the patron of the marketplace and the cemetery gates, but what she is most known for is controlling the winds - from breezes to cyclones. She is passionate and at the center of change; her warrior nature has no problem prodding or bulldozing when it comes to getting things (or people) moving so that growth can occur.
The ethic and proverb for Osa (nine shells up) read:
Ifa: One must cease leading themselves to misfortune. One must cease bringing harm upon themselves.
Proverb: Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
While the Queen would tell us to get in motion, she would also advise that doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results is insanity. We should find the root of reactive patterns that create our suffering and dig it up, then plant something new.
we need Oya in the marketplace
ReplyDeleteIn the White House too! :D
DeleteCrazy Coincidence. You are right we both have cheetahs in our draws, and now we both know we had sleepless nights. Something to with us "Albany" gals, I guess. Everyone was driving like they were nuts today. Maybe a lot of them had sleepless nights. Wonder what is the cause.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure - we'll really appreciate a good night's sleep when we get it. :)
