Yemayá (Yemanja) - The Mother of the Waters - Yoruba Mythology

[@theonetruesarauniya]

As a Nigerian-Egyptian this warms my heart. Thank you! Thank you for speaking and showing how wonderful our mythology is. Honestly African mythology as a whole isn't talked about or shown a lot and it's a shame. We have a lot of diverse, wonderful, beautiful, interesting and amazing myths, legends and histories too!

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

We also hold Yemaya as sacred in many of our religious in the Caribbean.

[@theonetruesarauniya]

@@vginsprdsobepr9698 That is so beautiful to hear. I hope to visit one day.

[@SentinelPrime675]

People often focus on just Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythology understandably due to the fact that it is very important and influential here in the western world, but people forget that other mythologies are just as important to their respective peoples as western mythology is to people like me of European origin.

[@alexandrovalladaresfalcon5783]

@@vginsprdsobepr9698 yup yup. In CUBA where am from a lot of aspects of our lives are effect by Yoruba culture. For example some of the people dress up in colors of their respected god that protects them. For woman they often dress in blue signifying that they are protected by yemoja

[@yakshakingu]

Yoruba mythology is so beautiful. Thank you for having their stories. Not many channels show Yoruba.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

Yemaya has facets that are comparable to the Taino goddess Atabey. Many religions in the Caribbean still hold both deitys as sacred. Could you make a video on some of the Taino gods? I would love to see more Caribbean deitys preserved in today’s culture.

[@WhiteKoneko]

The drawings of Yemayá are so pretty and i'm learning about a mythology I'm still so new to. As somebody with a disability these visuals and the clear voice help me a lot to understand better so thank you so much.

[@sahanaavavatu]

FYI: Interestingly, we indians have a river godess called "Yamuna" sister of lord "Yama" the god of justice.. and daughter of surya the sun-god. Yamuna is the one of the favorite rivers of lord krishna and she helps people attain pacification..

Black little mermaid confirmed... Looking forward to more yoruba mythology

[@BamgboyeTaiwo-wn7su]

She's not a little mermaid respect the mother goddess Do you think you had mermaid before African's 😡😡😡

[@Lux_Maddox]

Iemanjá , the queen of the ocean , sometimes she seems as mermaid some times as a woman with very long black hair in a blue dress . Her catholic version is Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes, both celebrated on the same day ! Nossa senhora dos navegantes is celebrated on rivers and lakes and Iemanjá at the sea shore. From the north to south every one in the shore will dress in white , jump 7 waves and send gifts to the sea (what I think is a mess) like mirror, comb , perfumes and roses !!! Some food as well , sweets , lots of delicious sweets like quindim , cocada and queijadinha , popcorn and bottles of cachaça (Brazilian alcohol )

No Brasil, Yemonjá foi associada ao Mar, Mas Yemonjá é a Mãe do Rio.... Na Nigéria, cultuam Yemonjá no Rio... Òsún é a Orisá do Rio Òsún, cachoeiras e águas mais agitadas d'água doce... Na Nigéria, tem um Rio em que Yemonjá é muito Cultuada... O Rio Ogun... Mas há disporás, que diz que Yemonjá rege as costeiras salgadas da Praia.... Enquanto o Oceano, quem rege é Olokun

[@phantomeye5199]

0:00 So this is Yemayá cool. 0:28 Yeah there a man on board boat sail at night. 1:02 Hey there's Yemayá and man are talk having good life. 1:25 Wow! She see a very fire like a sun and used her powers to create a tsunami that swept the Sun away. 1:50 Yemayá and Oshun are wonderful good time. 2:21 Really they appear at night. Well that was good. THey should get some sleep for now. Very impressive story of Yemayá (Yemanja) The Mother of the Waters. I hope Poseidon God of The Sea can meet Yemayá The Mother of the Waters. Now that was totally amazing Yoruba Mythology in history.
