Yemaya is the name of the mystical goddess of the ocean and also referred to as Queen of the Sea/ La Reina del Mar. She embodies profound wisdom and maternal care. She guides us through the ebbs and flows of our emotions, offering healing and creation. Lighting candles and adorning sea-inspired symbols honor her, while immersing in water, whether a bath or by a serene shore, helps channel her energies. Yemaya's essence empowers intentions to surge like ocean currents, invoking her magical presence in a tranquil and transformative embrace. Across Latin and South America, Yemaya is symbolic and revered as the "Queen of the Sea" or "La Reina del Mar," she embodies the vast ocean's duality – a nurturing mother and a force of storms. Yemaya is often depicted with shells and fish, symbolizing her connection to marine life, purity and abundance. Rituals and festivals, like Cuba's Feast of Yemaya and Brazil's Festa de Iemanjá, celebrate her with offerings at the shores, invoking her guidance, protection, and blessings upon coastal communities. Her symbolism underscores the intricate balance between humanity and the powerful natural world.
