Yoruba legend tells that Oyá Yansa Odo does not show his face, but instead covers it with a mask given to him by the Orisha of Illness, Babalu Aye and she does not allow anyone to look at her closely, hiding from the world to exercise her powers.

And it is that according to the patakí, she is the older sister of the Orisha Obba, and burned her face trying to save it from a fire. Since then, he never shows his brands and has changed his way of being.

Eggunes' friend and guide: Yansa Odo

They say that before burning his face, Oyá Yansa Odo was a wise and strong warrior and a very good sorceress.

But since she carries wounds that disfigure her, she only works with sorcery for evil. Many are those who invoke it when they consider revenge.

And it is this Oyá She is very powerful, because she is a guide and friend of the eggunes with whom she walks in the dark. They whisper the secrets of her magic to him.

That is why religion establishes that it should not be inside the house, but close to it. In the place that is dedicated to him, his offerings are left, which he shares with the spirits.
