Oyun

Oyun is the Orisha of Life, Marriages and Personal Transformation. She is known as the Mother of the Northern River just as her sister, Kyo, is known as the Mother of the Southern River.

History

Oyun was the first wife of Olotongo who tended to his castle and everything that he requested, making her the ideal wife before being tricked by her sister Kyo into trying to ensnare Olotongo with witchcraft. She is said to have given her husband her ear to eat, an event which led to her eventual flight from his presence. After this betrayal, she fled to the northwestern corner of Exum in which she went through a transformational journey into her true power, becoming the Oyun River.
The Oyun River flows through Owusu, that is why the Owusu-Eya tribesmen are called the children of the River Oyun
