Iansã is a deity of Afro-Brazilian religions and Yoruba mythology associated with winds and waters. Also known as Oiá or Oyá, it is one of the main female orixás. It is widely worshiped and celebrated in various religious traditions in Brazil, West Africa and Central America. Its importance transcends the boundaries of religion, extending to Afro-Brazilian culture and identity.
Originally from the people who occupied the sub-Saharan territory today corresponding to Nigeria, Togo and Sierra Leone, the goddess is part of the Yoruba pantheon, a rich religious tradition that encompasses several deities associated with aspects of nature and human life. According to this mythology, Iansã is the daughter of Iemanjá and Oxalá, and her brothers are Oxum, Obá and Oxóssi.
Obstinate and courageous goddess, she has two husbands: Ogum, the hunter, and Xangô, the lord of fire. With her two husbands, she approached battles, becoming an iabá (female orixá) associated with war.
