Yemaya is an orisha, originally of the Yoruba religion, who has
become prominent in many Afro-American and Latin religions. Africans
brought Yemaya and a host of other deities, and energy forces in
nature with them when they were brought to the shores of the Americas
as captives.
Yemaya is the mother of all living things as well
as the owner of all waters. She is the vast ocean, the essence of
motherhood, a protector of children, and a goddess of magic and
witches.
In
Cuban Santeria, she has been syncretized with Our Lady of Regla.
