Yemoja or Yemaya, the Queen Mother, epitomizes motherhood and rules all issues pertaining to women. The translation of her name, “The Mother Whose Children are Fish” has dual implications: Yemaya’s children are innumerable: she is the mother of most of the orishas. Her generosity and benevolence has also garnered her countless human devotees, equivalent to the innumerable fish of the sea. Yemoja generously bestows abundance, wealth, healing, love, and fertility, but she is also the essence of tidal waves and rip currents. #Yemoja Mother's Essence
