The Origin of Oya

The devotees of the deity Oya consider it taboo to eat the buffalo.
This deity is believed to be the mother of all buffalos.
A hunter once went into the bush to hunt and as he was laying in an ambush for animals on a tree he saw a buffalo next to a termite’s nest. As he was getting ready to shoot the buffalo, he saw that the buffalo turned into a beautiful woman, who put clothes on and hid its skin inside the termite’s nest.
The hunter was astonished and could not do anything until the animal-woman left the spot. Later, the hunter came down from the tree, took the skin from the termite nest and climbed up the same tree to lay in ambush again.
Later, the animal woman came and wanted to take the skin so that she could transform into a buffalo again but the skin was gone.
