Yemaya Crown Orisha

Yemaya (also spelled Yemanjá in some traditions) is one of the most beloved and powerful Orishas in the Yoruba religion and its diaspora traditions, such as Santería, Candomblé, and Vodou. She is the Orisha of the sea, motherhood, fertility, and the protection of women and children. Yemaya holds a central and revered role in the spiritual pantheon, and her influence extends deeply within Afro-diasporic cultures.
