Mermaid: Often depicted as a queenly mermaid, Yemaya is considered the Ocean Mother Goddess. With anchored roots in the Yoruba religion, Yemaya was brought over to the New World by enslaved Africans as early as the 16th century.Â
Yemaya is perhaps the most nurturing of all the Orishas, and it’s believed that all of life comes from her deep nourishing waters. Her strong and protective energy can be found virtually everywhere, but especially near oceans and lakes.
Chakra: Third eye, Crown, Heart & Throat
Symbolism: Turquoise promotes love, healing, intuition, and embodies tranquility. It also encourages communication and self-expression of one’s deepest truths. The play and variety of vivid colors in abalone shells represent change as the beauty of existence. Like water, its calmness and tranquility protect us from life's unsettling passions. It can stimulate psychic development such as intuition and improve your ability to express your emotions with clarity.
