#yemoya

For the last several months the yoni space has been a more highlighted area of focus within myself and my clients. I always push the importance of genital wellness, but lately I’ve had to push it more.

My ceremony was private today, but I will share this art and these divine messages.

It’s mentioned here and there by others that we should take better care of our womb space. It’s great that we are paying attention to it more and more when it comes to sexual partners and self love, but y’all… what else is knotted up in there: bad gossip, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, evil eye, etc?

Literally, most of my current clients are being assisted with toxic generational patterns, PTSD, and even black magick being trapped in the womb.

Yemaya by Kypris Aquarelas

I Have been connected to the sea in such a deep level for as long as i can remember. There is no where else on earth that brings me peace as much being by the waves, being submerged.

It suprising how angry some people are that halle is the new ariel for this live action.

white people have soooo many white princess. Black people literally have one, Tiana and shes a freaking frog for most of the movie. Or that one cinderalla movie that came out in 1997.

Representation is so important for the youth. As a child, there was little if at all any princess who looked like me. And still till this day. People dont understand how that affects a subconscious mind, especially that of a developing child.

So fuck you, racists. Grow the fuck up. Learn some fucking compassion, we are all brothers and sisters that were born of the sea.

Im so glad that my niece and all the little girls who look like me with sun kissed brown skin, and curly hair that reaches for the stars can finally have a princess that looks like them.

The truth is the original mermaid was black. The myth was taken from us, like so many other things, trying to destroy and erase our history and make it their own just like jesus, and the pyramids and antlantis. Just let us have our Orishas back. Let us honor our history and our ancestors.

This is for yemaya, for oshun and for all the ancestors. Thank you halle bailey.

You are mosy definitely my ariel.

Ps. If youre guna listen and vibe to oshun(the rap group) look up what oshun actually is.

The worship of the african deities was strictly prohibited in the times of slavery. The only way to the religion survive was through syncretism. Yemaya is syncretized with Our Lady of Navigants in my country, that's why this Yemaya is depicted as a white woman. I'm not saying white-washing is right, but it's a very, very popular depiction of this african goddess in Brazil. Even though we all know she’s a black deity, many temples of Umbanda use only images of catholic saints to worship the Orishas.
