Yemaya Shorts
Description: In this wiccan interpretation of the Major Arcana tarot card Temperance, the Yoruba goddess Yemaya balances herself between the chaotic waves of the ocean behind her and the solid rocks of the shore in front of her. Whatever comes her way, Yemaya is calm. The star path in the sky above her leads to her as she represents enlightenment.
Description: Yemaya is an Orisha, originally of the Yoruba religion, who has become prominent in many Afro-American and Latin religions. Africans brought Yemaya and a host of other deities, and energy forces in nature with them when they were brought to the shores of the Americas as captives. Yemaya is the mother of all living things, as well as the owner of all waters. She is the vast ocean, the essence of motherhood, a protector of children, and a goddess of magic and witches. In Cuban Santeria, she has been syncretized with Our Lady of Regla.
