Airá - Áyrà Airá was an Orixá in the foundation of Xangô, Airá was considered one of

his trusted servants and according to one of his legends, Airá tried to establish a
friction between Oxalá and Xangô, thanks to this Airá must be treated differently

Xangô, one should never put them together in the same house nor can Airá be.
placed on top of the two-headed mortar, as it provokes the anger of Xangô. Its color is the
white and its ornaments are silver. Airá is an Orixá related to the family of
lightning but is related to the wind, its name can be translated as whirlwind,

Airá can then be praised as the divinity that governs the meeting of the winds.

Titles of Airá

Intilè - It is a title of Airá, Intilè means Lord of the House, It was he who
he carried Oxalá on his shoulders and tried to put him against Xangô, saying that he would have
spent seven years in prison because of Obà Xangô. That is why there is a kizila.
between Ayrà and Xangô.

Igbóna - It is a title of Airá that means forest of fire, it refers to the act
from the bonfire in which Airà lit in reverence to Xangô. Módè, Mófè or Álàmódè - It is
a title of Airá. Óbómìn, Bómìn or Ygbómìn - Just another title of Airá. Etinjà
Adjàosì Lojó - Title that refers to rain. Orégedé Usually confused
with Xangô, in Brazil, it should actually be considered as a divinity
individual. Little is known about its cult or its rites, thus it came to be
seen as a quality of Xangô. Airá is not of Yoruba origin and its worship is
restricted to the Savé region in Jeje territory, perhaps for this reason its worship does not
have expressiveness since in this region the predominant cults are those of Oxumarê,
Obaluaiê and Nanã. It is incredible how in Brazil people transmit
abominations. Some unknowledgeable priests even claim that Airá would be
brother of Xangô, when in fact there is nothing to substantiate this claim.
It is not known for sure his ancestry, which is why Airá is considered as the son of
Iemanjá and Oraniã, as well as Xangô and Aganjú. In a general context, Airá is
considered as a Funfun Orixá, that is, an Orixá that dresses
white. It is considered a deity of a more passive nature, its foundations are
related to the elements water and air, but in Brazil, due to the association with Xangô
they attributed a connection to the element fire. Airá has a much greater connection with
Hopefully what is done with Xangô and in fact everything that is offered to him cannot contain
the salt, the dendê and should never have their settlements placed on the pestle. This
brings about the wrath of the Orixás. Their votive foods are not seasoned with dendê, and
yes with African ori fat. Come ebô, ejá and okra. According to a myth, created in
Brazil, Oxalá was unjustly imprisoned for seven years in the kingdom of his
son, Xangô, without him knowing about it. Great calamities occurred all over
the kingdom due to this injustice and when Xangô finally discovered what had happened
happened with his own father, rescued him from prison and ordered that they be organized.
great parties throughout the kingdom in his honor. However, Oxalá was very
broken and saddened. Despite all the attention he received, the only thing that
wished to return to his own kingdom in Ifé, where his wife Iemanjá awaited him.
he was waiting. Xangô could not accompany him and asked Airá to do it in his place.
This is how Airá became a servant of Oxalá, for the journey was very long since
Oxalá walked very slowly (it is also said that Airá carried Oxalá on his back)
due to still recovering from the injuries sustained during the
seven years in prison. During the day, they walked. At night, Oxalá felt cold and
she needed to rest, thus, Airá spent long hours telling her stories of the
people of Oyó. Note: In Brazil, due to the celebrations of São João, a
tradition of lighting a bonfire in homage to Xangô and Airá. in reality
this act does not exist in Africa, it was absorbed from the festivities of Saint John.
the ceremony that takes place in Africa is the Ajerê of Xangô, a ceremony in which the initiate of
Xangô in Oyó carries a jar with countless holes and filled with fire on his
head. This act is represented by Xangô's own axe.
