Respect! Herstory: Celebrating the Feminine Journey Series: 31 Goddesses Goddess #3: Yemaya Origin: West Africa & The Caribbean (Yoruba) In the African diaspora, Yemaya (Yemoja) is known as “Mami Watta” (Mother of the Water). She is the Nurturing Mother Goddess of living waters. While mostly known for being even-tempered, when angered Yemaya can be violent and relentless like a storm in the ocean. Her anger is righteous: She fiercely protects what she loves and restores balance to instability. She is often depicted as a mermaid, dressed in blue and white, with cowrie shells representing her vast wealth. Her strong and protective energy can be found virtually everywhere, but especially near oceans and lakes. Her Legacy: The power of surrendering to Divine flow, destruction to clear the way for new life, Divine protection of mothers and children, fertility, self-love, healing emotional wounds and trauma. May we connect to the Divine Feminine within us and remember who we are. -compiled by Molesey Crawford, The Queen Code, Inc Artist: Mikael Quites (www.mikaelquites.com) Works Consulted: “Legendary Ladies” by Ann Shen #womenshistorymonth #womensherstorymonth #herstory #queenascension #trusttheprocess #purpose #royalpath #royalpathmap #divinefeminine #goddessrebirth #ascension #5DQueen #ancientwisdom #oldsoul #unchained #queencode #thequeencode #therealqueencode (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVHrIrs2XG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
