Yemoja
Yemoja is the great mother goddess of the Yoruba pantheon, the orisha of the ocean, motherhood, fertility, and the Ogun River. Her name means "Mother whose children are the fish." She is considered the mother of many orishas and the protective spirit of women, children, and sailors. As the primordial ocean from which all life emerged, Yemoja represents the maternal essence of the universe. In times of drought, she emerges from the depths carrying the moon in her womb, bringing tides and rains. Her devotees dress in blue and white and offer her rice, fish, and gourds
