DOWNLOAD EBOOKA celebration and practical guide to the renowned and beloved goddess and orisha. Yemaya, queen of the sea, first emerged in Yorubaland (now in modern Nigeria). A primordial deity, considered the mother of all, some perceive her to be at the root of numerous ancient goddesses, including Isis. During the Middle Passage, Yemaya accompanied her enslaved devotees to the Western Hemisphere, where her veneration took root and flourished. She is among the most beloved and prominent spirits of Candomblé, Santeria, and other African diaspora traditions. Through her associations with the Virgin Mary, devotion to Yemaya spread throughout Latin America. Cuban immigrants brought Yemaya with them to the US, where her veneration expanded exponentially. No longer a local water spirit, she became an internationally beloved goddess whose devotees derive from numerous traditions and who worship her in her many fluid forms. Yemaya currently ranks among the most beloved goddesses worldwide. Raven Morgaine, a priest of Yemaya for over three decades, shares his expertise and knowledge in Yemaya: Orisha, Goddess, and Queen of the Sea, the first full-length English language book accessible to general readers. Morgaine explores Yemaya’s history and her many forms, including her roles as mother, lover, witch, warrior, and mermaid. He describes her many paths, aspects, and incarnations. Simultaneously a celebration of Yemaya and a practical, hands-on guide to working with her, Yemaya explores her mythology in depth, as well as her special role in the LGBQT community. The book features: Spells and rituals associated with Yemaya appropriate for the uninitiated Instructions for building altars and shrines for Yemaya, as well as other methods for working with her, including correct, respectful ways to make appropriate offerings Recipes that will please Yemaya A detailed list of flowers, herbs, and other botanicals that radiate the power of Yemaya

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Yoruba are a Nation in South Western Nigeria, parts of Benin and Togo. In their religion, the Orisha are sprits sent by Olodumare (he who dwells in the heavens) for the guidance of all creation and humanity on Earth (Aiye). Most Orisha have either existed in the spirit world and then become incarnated as human beings on Earth, or humans who are recognised as deities upon death due to their extraordinary feats in life. Closely associated with Vodoun of the Fon and Ewe, the Yoruba religion is also practised in the New World as a result of the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed as Santería, Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha, Umbanda, and Oyotunji, among others. This coloring book takes some of the more popular Orishas and depicts them in as much splendour as possible for your pleasure. There are 22 pages in total including: Olodumare Obatala Shango Osun Yemaya Oba Oko Osayin Erinle Eshu Babalu-Aye and many more.
