The Orisha Yemaya T-shirt

This comfy indigo blue cotton t-shirt celebrates the beloved Mother Orisha, Yemayá, Mother of The Orishas, Goddess of the living Oceans, and the mother of us all. Not only was it she who gave birth to the stars, sun, moon, and most orishas, she also nurtures and fiercely protects them. Often depicted as a mermaid, she is associated with water and feminine mysteries. Yemayá embodies motherhood and cares deeply for all her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. Her roads encompass all of the experiences of women; infertility childbirth, conception, parenting, child safety, love, and healing. For all of her aspects that are warm, nurturing, and motherly, she has just as many that are strong warriors, cunning tricksters, and tenacious survivors of all of the fates that can befall us. 
 
As a deity, she is as powerful as she is versatile. She oversees deep secrets, ancient wisdom and the collective unconscious.
