Yemaya (also spelled Yemoja or Iemanjá) is the revered Ocean Mother Goddess in Yoruba, Afro-Caribbean, and Brazilian traditions. She is the protector of women, guardian of the seas, and source of emotional healing, fertility, and unconditional love. Often depicted in flowing blue robes or as a radiant mermaid, Yemaya rules over the salt waters, symbolizing the depths of emotion, intuition, and life’s ever-changing tides.

She nurtures, heals, and cleanses — washing away sorrow and fear, making space for grace and rebirth. Yemaya’s presence is gentle but powerful, reminding us that strength and softness can coexist. Her waves teach flow, her rhythms teach trust.

Yemaya invites you to come home to yourself — to feel deeply, release freely, and honor the sacred waters within.
