Yemaja Reproduction on Canvas

Surrender and Soothe

Goddess Yemayá is the mother of the Orixás, a group of deities originating in Africa. Her name means “the one who protects her children.” She is a comforting and inspirational goddess who soothes the suffering of all, especially women and children in crisis. She is also worshipped in parts of Cuba and Brazil, where the beliefs of African slaves intertwined with Catholicism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In some cases, like that of the Umbanda religion, the original African spirituality also blended with indigenous religions and spiritism. Yemayá is also known as the Mama Watta, mother of the waters, the goddess of the living ocean, the source of all the waters and the seven seas.

Her story is tragic, as her son turned against her in violence and raped her. She cried so much her tears caused a great flood on Earth, creating the oceans from which the first man and woman were born. Her story is about insuperable challenges, utter despair, and sadness leading to the creation of something new.

Like water, she represents soothing ease and constant change, bringing forth life, protecting it, and changing it as is necessary. She is motherly and fiercely protective of all her children, comforting them and cleansing them of their sorrows. She can be fierce, but she is not fond of violence or aggression.

“Embrace your own magickal way of being in the world – no matter what you look like, your religion, gender, or age – embrace your inner mermaid and never give your power away…”

The “Sacred Mothers and Goddesses” carry their energy through their image and form similar to how a Crystal carries it’s energy to us. You can work with them and allow them to work with you. All of my pieces have come into being with love and surrender to the Sacred Feminine and with the intention of bringing beauty and connection to your life.

They are a visual manifestation of Divine power and grace, containing the actual energy that they represent, a gift for me to share with you.
