Yemoja

The Mother of Fishes and the sovereign of the oceans, she is the protective womb of the world. Yemoja is the matron of the family and the source of all rivers, representing the deep, nurturing love of a mother that is as vast as the sea. She is the one who washes away sorrows and grants fertility, but her rage is the tidal wave that no man can survive. She is the silver moonlight on the waves, the quiet depth where all life began and to which it must eventually return.
