How do we ask Mother Yemayá for a favor? Mighty like the sea

Yemayá is the Mother, the Yoruba goddess considered as the first to be born when the Supreme God Olofin created the world and all beings that habitan in it.

Yemayá is as beautiful as it is kind, as tender as it is fair, and as noble as it is humble. But she can get angry and relentlessly punish, especially those who outrage her.

His punishments are usually severe and just, since his word is as just as his own Obatala.

However, her devotees have Yemayá as an understanding mother, representative of wisdom and intelligence, qualities that she gives to her children so that they make the right decisions and follow the path of good.

Yemayá is the sovereign of the seas in the Yoruba religion, queen of all oceans and in general over salty waters, syncretized in Santeria with the Catholic image of the Virgin of Regla.
