Yemaya Huggie Earrings

Yemaya, often referred to as the "Mother of All Life," is a captivating deity in African diaspora religions, particularly within the Yoruba tradition and its offshoots, such as Santería in Cuba and Candomblé in Brazil. Many traditions believe she gave birth to the first fourteen orishas, as well as humanity, the sun, and the moon.

She is celebrated as the Goddess of the Sea and motherhood, embodying the nurturing and protective qualities of a mother. Yemaya is the patroness of pregnant women and their children, both those born and those yet to be born. Originating as a West African river goddess, Yemaya, together with the orisha goddess Oshun, journeyed from Africa on overcrowded slave ships during the Middle Passage, striving to protect her children from the horrors they would face.

Yemaya is depicted as a striking, dark-skinned beauty. In various representations, she is typically shown wearing flowing blue or white robes that symbolise the waves. Her hair is often long and cascading, sometimes portrayed as resembling water or adorned with seashells and other oceanic elements.

Devotees honour her with offerings and rituals, seeking her blessings for protection and guidance, and celebrating her as a symbol of strength and resilience. Her influence extends beyond cultural boundaries, embodying a vital archetype of femininity and motherhood across diverse spiritual practices.
