Small Aja Statue - Orisha of Forest and Herbs

An Orisha is a spirit that reflects one of the Manifestations of God in Africa's Yoruba religion.  Many Orishas have found their way throughout the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed in practices as varied as Santeria, Candomble, Trinidad orisha, and Oyotunji.  Aja is an Orisha, the spirit of the forest, the animals within it, and herbal healers. She is a patron of the forest and all the animals within it. She holds the secrets of botany and is a master of potions and healing herbs. She passed this skill to the Yoruban people, who practice her craft to this very day.
