GREETING: Obá Siré!

Obá is an Orixá connected to the water, warrior and little feminine. His clothes are red and white, he wears a shield, a sword, and a copper crown.

The psychological type of the children of OBA is the stereotype of a woman of strong temperament, terribly possessive and needy, the woman of a single man, faithful and suffering. They are combative, impetuous and vindictive.

Obá is an ORIXÁ that rarely manifests itself and there is little study about it.

Obá is the woman conscious of her power, who fights and claims her rights, facing any man - except the one who takes her heart. She embraces any cause, but surrenders to a passion. Obá is the woman who annuls when she loves.

Obá daughter of Iemanjá and Oxalá. Throughout África Obá was worshiped as the great protective goddess of female power, so she is also hailed as Iya Agba, and maintains close relations with the Iya Mi. She was a strong woman, who commanded the rest and defied male power.

Although Obá has become a river, she is a fire-related goddess.

Obá is hailed as the Orixá of jealousy, but one can not forget that jealousy is the unavoidable corollary of love, therefore, Obá is an Orixá of love, of the passions, with all the pains and sufferings that the feeling can entail. Obá is jealous because he loves.

The left side (Osì) has always been related to the woman and, for a very elementary reason, is the side of the heart. When Obá is greeted as the guardian of the left, this means that she is the guardian of all women, the one who understands the feelings of the heart, because Obá thinks with his heart, so he always dances with his left mother pointing to the left side in the ear power, female genitor power, queen in África of the society Elecô, where man does not enter, the great Amazons of Oba. Oba does not know the man's head.

Attached to Oxóssi by hunting and great archer, attached to Xangô through fire the fight for life.

How can a goddess attached to these feelings devote herself to war? All the energy of her frustrated passions is channeled by her to war, becoming the bravest warrior, whom no man dares to confront. Obá overcomes the anguish of living unloved.

Obá exchanges a palace for a hut, exchanges all the riches of the world for a phrase: "I love you".
