How do I know if I’m a daughter of Iansã? 7 Unique Features!

Is there a way to know if I’m a daughter of Iansã? What are the characteristics of the children of Iansã, do I have any of them? Keep reading below, I have years of Umbanda experience and will answer all your questions!

As soon as someone joins Umbanda or Candomblé their first question is: “Whose daughter am I?” It is “Which Orixás govern me?”. And the second most frequently asked question is: “What is the name of my Exu and my Pigeon Gira?”.

Although this curiosity is natural, sometimes the Orixá that appears in the first moment is not necessarily one of our Parents in the head.

That’s why many think they are children of an Orisha and discover later with time in religion that they are children of another Orisha.

This is due to the need for that moment in the person’s life, where an Orisha presents itself even though it is not the Father or the Mother, they are only there to help with an axé and specific energy.

After all, when you enter Umbanda or Candomblé, you can be assisted by all the Orixás, which will depend on your need at that moment, and not necessarily that these are your Parents.

As a matter of fact, not always the Orisha facing the medium is of the same sex as the medium, that is, the Orixá facing a woman can be a male Orixá like Ogun or Xangó, or Oxossi, just as for a man, his orixá facing the front can be a woman, like Iansã, Yemanja, Mama Oxum.

But regardless of sex, the characteristics of the Orishas will always be the same, no matter if they are seen in a man or a woman.

Let’s see below some characteristics of Mother Iansã and her children.

Who is Iansã in Umbanda

Iansã is the lady of the winds, rains and stormswho shares with Pai Xangô this power over nature.

A warrior orixá who does not run away from a battle, who commands the eguns (disembodied spirits) with one of her symbols, the Eruexim (horsetail), she leads them to their places of merit or need.

When Mãe Iansã arrives at the terreiro, she screams and turns around a lot, these gestures and expressions are to keep bad energies away from people and the environment, and attract positive energies. When on land we ask for your protection, to help us in our daily battles.

Children of Iansã are not housewives, even the women of Iansã are not very fond of household chores and prefer to be in the midst of battles, fights, but that doesn’t stop them from being sensual.

Iansã is always in love and never has more than one relationship at the same time! But that doesn’t mean that she will live only one great passion or love in her life.

Dramatic orixá, who gets angry very easily, but who he wins his battles decisively, he doesn’t enter into a dispute to lose, Iansã always wins.

Although there are several legends that talk about an earthly life, we know that the Orishas never went through incarnation because they were deities coming from God, and it would not be different with Iansã.

How can I know if I am the daughter of Iansã?

The best way to know the name of your entities and mainly of their Orixás of head is to be in a house or terreiro. It’s working as a cambone or asking the entities in the house or who are working at that moment.

However, the name can only be revealed if the Orisha of the person in question allows it! Otherwise, you will have to wait until He wants to give your name.

In Candomblé there is a game of whelks that can reveal the name of the Orixás, but under the same conditions, that is, if speaking is allowed.

As stated earlier, sometimes we are being accompanied by one or more Orixás who are not our Parents or responsible for this reincarnationand this can be confusing when playing whelks.

Therefore, the best way to know the names or names is to wait for the entity itself to tell you who it is, and at the right time.

But, there are some characteristics that can indicate who your Orixás are, indicate and not confirm, confirmation will only be given when He wants it.
