Life is like a mirror! If you smile, life will give you a smile. The attitude you take in front of life, It’s the same thing that life will take before you. Ashe,
Yemaya, mistress and Lady of the water and Queen of the sea, essential source of life. Orisha greater Universal mother principle. Considered as the mother of all the Orishas. Also referred to Olokun, Yenbo and Yemú. Olokun is basis of Yemaya, the largest of roads, is the Orisha of procreation.Attributed to Yemayá Iyá Moayé, mother of the world, Ife-Ife, sacred city of the Yoruba creation. Festivities last for several days. The toned songs and dances in their honor are the most beautiful of the Yoruba pantheon. It is said that the Saint was born of the sea. The Earth as we know it was transported on a shell and also the shellcreatures on the tasks that should be performed.There are wood-carved figures depicting her as a beautiful woman pregnant, full of life, with very large breasts. This image also symbolizes fertility that allowed him to be the mother of all the Orishas.Yemaya is a woman beautiful, of medium height, black as coal, with completely curly hair. Mother admirable, brave imposing, witch fearsome, but loving, human and complacent. Attentive and deferential. It is just as Obatala reigns sovereign of a matriarchal Government.She is comprehensive, intelligent and loving with their children and is also an involvement grandmother who lets Oshun in their care. Ibeyis, sons of Oshun and Shango and Oshé Adéu Son of Oshun and Orunmila.She is Orisha of creativity and nature. Sea shells are born and it that is why within the religion is together with his sons the true shell.She is kind and noble with their children, who has great patience. But when not calm anything, gets angry when this happens it causes calamities to the person who offended her.She was wife of Babalu Aye, Aggayú, Orula and Oggun. She likes to hunt, cut grass and handle the machete. She is astute and indomitable. Her punishments are harsh and your anger is terrible, but righteous.Whoever has her crowned should not utter her name without first touching the ground with the fingertips and kissing them traces of powder. All the Orishas are born of Yemaya and therefore participate in the ceremony of the River, where also lives Oshun.“-Yemonya in Life Giving Waters”mixed media on masonite-2006Credit:Ammar Nsoroma
Yemaya Queen Goddess of The Oceans. Yemaya Goddess of The Sea and Salted Waters. Yemaya Mother of The World. On the seashore, you wait for me Queen Mother, Always prepared to cleanse, Bless and protect me, My Iya Yemaya. ¡Omío Yemaya Omoloddé! By: Iya Olawo Che
Obbatálá Orisha of Purity, Justice, Truth, and Peace. Obbatálá deity, creator of all human beings. Obbatálá King of The White Cloth, Protect Us, Cleanse Us, Bless Us. ¡Jekúa Babá! Ashé
*This is probably one of my favorites images I have seen on Oshun*
She dances with delicate steps, with courteous gestures with her hands gently touching her skirt. She is painted, placed earrings, bracelets and is regarded in an imaginary mirror. Then, on knees bathes, the water having the pleasure of touching her sweet body. The sweetness and harmony of the beautiful Oshun this ever-present in each of the decisions in our lives and its waters become calm our homes to remove from them any disturbance.
The dance of Oshun is the most sensual one. She laughs as Yemaya and shakes her arms to sound her bracelets. Oshun raises her arms over the head to emphasize her enchantments. While she dances, she makes sexual movements and asks for sex to the men with her extended hands and abrupt movements of her hips. She requests honey, showing the sweetness of sex and life. She also can imitate that rows in a small boat. She combs her hair or admires herself in the mirror, she sometimes watch over her nose those around her.

“When the axe entered the forest, the trees said ‘Look, the handle is one of us!’” — yoruba proverb
Yemaya had much money, and wanted to marry Orunmila, deciding to go in search. On her way she met Eleggua, and asked him of what he lived of; He said that in the corner, eating Guinea pig and smoked fish, roasted corn and corn flour, and doing errands. She replied that it was not him. Following the path she found Oggun, and asked him the same thing; He said that he was a blacksmith; She replied that it was not him. Then, Orula was found, and after ask the same question, heard of him living off readings. Now, Yemaya replied yes that it had to be him. But Orula told her that for marriage, she had to do a cleaning. And Yemaya, so did to achieve her purpose.
-In where lived Yemaya with her children, Ifa prohibited the consumption of pork because of its negative consequences for health. Children of Yemaya had pork among their favorite dishes, for its flavor and because producing them sexual furor. So they began to eat it in a clandestine manner. They then contracted serious diseases that could not be cured. Yemaya, desperate, searched for Oggún, her husband. He only solved with violence, and whenever a child complained, killed with his sword so that they suffer no more. Then, Yemaya had a reading with Orula, who gave the following remedy: boil water of Coco with the grass tua tua, caisimon, anise and alacrancillo, and igerirla in the form of infusion.
-Yemaya was rich and lived on incomes; She had several houses. But the tenants stopped paying her. This plunged her into such despair that she thought even in committing suicide. Then she turned, and thought to see orula. And Orunmila made a record, and told her to remain calm, that would get the payments they owed her; just had to do a cleaning. Yemaya made, went home to wait, and the next day the tenants began to pay what was due.
Message ~ Orula has the final word..
Ase O!

ARTIST COMMENTARY: Yemoja, one of the main orishas of the [Ifa] religion, and afro-brazilian mysticism. I wanted to show a different version of her, inspired by the shapes and powers of the sea. I did this image for the wonderful “Contos de Orun Àiyé”, a comic book project by Hugo Canuto.
Ashe. For Power & Magic.
