Omi O! In Yorubaland Yemoja is the Queen Mother of the Orisa. Yemoja origins are in the Ogun river, she is the energy that governs all wata fresh and sea and is located in the depths of the surface of the ocean where the sun is reflected. I am so happy to have found this video and I definitely feel your passion, thank you. Although. you are right that. in Nigeria. Mami Wata can be depicted in colours red and white, this is mainly among the Igbo. and Edo-speaking peoples; the colours blue and white & white, are also primary colours at least with us Yoruba peoples. 💙🤍💙✨Beautiful Iya! Just let me say though. as born to Yoruba parents, although you are right that in Yorubaland, we have specific names for various energies. of. the water, like Yemoja, Osun, Erinle, Oya and Oba to name the prinicipal energies, water is still very much known in Yoruba folklore culture as Mami Wata. I'm seeing quite a few diasporan contributions on KZbin not aptly describing the Yoruba water deities as Mami. It's not right. Yemoja the mother of all deities in Yorubaland has to be acknowledged for what she is known for and that is Mother of all water and mother of fish. And when we. sing in. praise. (Oriki) as you do here so beautifully, you are calling a major. Oriki. when. you call Yeye O! Yeye is Yemoja Yeye is Mother. Yemoja, Erinle, Oba, Osun. and Oya are specific energies of the water but this doesn't mean we dont include them in the pantheon of water deities. T heir. names are specif for direct and specific meaning💙🤍💙🧜🏾♀🧜🏾♀

Mami wata in Haiti is known as La siren but in all reality she encompasses qualities as Oxum and Iemanja. She is a mystery that is very powerful

Greetings from Jamaica to my Trinidad family. I am initiating into the surviving traditions of the Water Mysteries of Jamaica, but I have a strong desire to link with the T&T family and learn from that tradition and possibly initiate there. Please let me know how to get in touch.

Yemoja is not a Mami Wata. Yemoja was a Nigerian woman. Mami wata are not human beings.
