Who is the orisha Oroiña? The purifying fire that sweeps the earth

Oroina

They say that Oroiña had taken over the world in its beginnings and destroyed everything in its path with the immense heat it gave off. And it is that Oroiña is a fundamental energy that represents universal fire and is also the ancestor of Aggayu Solá, although some patakíes identify it like the own mother of the Orisha.

But the Yoruba legends also indicate that Oroiña, with the strength that Olorun gave him, was the one who made the first hill rise from the bottom of the sea and that is how it was born Ok, the mainland, in which the Supreme God Olodumare He gathered the Orishas and pointed out to each one their domain and their natural forces.

Oroiña, fire, love and anger

Oroiña is energy which represents the strongest and most intense human feelings and also demonstrates the ease with which they can build and at the same time destroy what was created. Thus, it represents love and anger, purifying fire and intuitive knowledge.

It is said that Oroiña was born directly from Olorun, the sky, and is represented in nature in the lava from the volcano and the heat energy from the center of the earth.

From this energy earthquakes are born and its powers form mountains, hills and mountain ranges. As an Orisha, she is received with Aggayú Solá and does not place herself at the head of anyone.

The orisha and the incandescent center from the earth

Oroiña, as we explained, is the manifestation of universal fire and the incandescent center of the Earth globe. It is the central focus of solar energy concentrated in Orisha oko, Orisha representative of the earth.

The patakí tells that ConstitutionWhen he felt the heat that was given off from Oroiña, he sent Yembó to lock him up in the center of the Earth and therefore when a volcano erupts, the Orisha's howl is heard among the ashes, wanting to escape from its confinement.
