Yemọja is a major water deity from the Yoruba religion. She is an orisha. She is often syncretized with various Virgin Mary figures of the Catholic Church in the Afro-Latin tradition, a practice that emerged during the era of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Yemoja is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. She is said to be able to cure infertility in women, and cowrie shells represent her wealth. She does not easily lose her temper, but when angered she can be quite destructive and violent, as the floodwaters of turbulent rivers.

Yemoja is often depicted as a mermaid and is associated with the moon (in some Diaspora communities), water, and feminine mysteries. She is the protector of women. She governs everything pertaining to women; childbirth, conception, parenting, child safety, love, and healing. According to myth, when her waters broke, it caused a great flood creating rivers and streams and the first mortal humans were created from her womb.

Elekes are typically received as part of the initiatory Collares/Elekes Ceremony in Regla de Ocha.

These have NOT been consecrated.
