Yemaya is the great mother who lives and rules over the seas. Water is essential to life, so without Yemaya, life on earth wouldn't be possible. Although she's maternal and nurturing, she's also fierce. Her punishments can be terrible when she's outraged, but she's fair minded and forgiving when proper remorse is shown. Yemaya is clever and brave. When she goes to war on behalf of her children, she wields a machete with expertise and no one can defeat her. She's also associated with stars and the full moon, ducks and peacocks. Yemaya controls the part of the sea that humans can know, but the most profound depths of the oceans belong to another Orisha, Olokun. Yemaya's realm is the part of the ocean where there are plants, fish and other marine life that humans can use for food. She's associated with the creative and nurturing forces of the sea.
