moonvoiceOOOSHALA
Name: Oooshala
Other (celebratory) names:
Fiery Water-Horse
Horse-Screamer of the Water Spirits
The Three-Tongued
Water Ancestor
Wave-Walker
Form: Oooshala appears as a water-horse, a mythological creature that is bound to the ocean (and sometimes other forms of water). They are often fierce creatures with waves, or undying flames for their mane and tails. Oooshala has a tongue that is forked three times, each tongue represents a different type of truth, or one of the three truths (hint: choose the left one, the middle road is a trick). His eyes contain the reflection of undying flame, and he is never found away from water. He is a smallish horse, with a ponyish, muscular frame. He has golden to grey hair, and his mane can be anything from green to red.
Alternative Forms: None.
Known for: Since late 2004.
Presides Over: Oooshala is specifically associated with the act of shamanising during rage states, or during times of peak emotion. His connection to the ocean seems to suggest the uncontrollable and massive nature of human (and all) emotion, and its potential to create great change and growth. His connection to fire represents passion.
Oooshala only appears in the middleworlds. He presides over the three truths: the harsh truth, the insincere truth and the balanced truth.
He does not openly converse, I tend to 'know' what he wants when he appears. Without his assistance, I would have torn my whole life apart, and never been able to locate some of the fragments of my Urt.
Assisted With: Specifically emotional management and the use of emotion in magical techniques.
Chants associated with him:
My wet feet on the wet sand by the ocean
and in the ocean a field of golden wheat
and by the wheat a golden field of golden horses
and there, the golden horse with the reddened tail
the ruddy eyes and the ruddy mane!
And in the eyes the secrets of the Water!
And in the ears the voices of the Water-beasts!
And from the mouth the three tongues of truth!
Ooooooshala Ooooooshala
mighty Water-Horse of the streaming skies,
mighty Three-Tongued of the bloodied ocean,
mighty Horse-Screamer of the Water Spirits!
Oooooooooshala!

Ooooshala Ooooshala,
each cresting wave
makes a mountain of foam.
In each foam mountain
is a golden palace,
golder still.
Ooooshala Ooooshala
it is the Water Ancestor
Wave Walker!
Ooooshala Ooooshala
The push of the winds in your ears
The push of the wisdoms into your ears
The push of the ancestors in your ears!
Ooooshala Oooooshala!
It is the antlered one with the blue tail!
What is on your back?
It is the xansan saddle.
What man can saddle your back?
None. Oooooshala!
You have woven it with your antler tips!
As fine as golden needles
Potential connection with deities or recorded lore: Water-horse mythology.
