Orisha List


Yemoja Achaba

Posted in Yemoja/Yemaya/Imanja by Omolotiwa on the January 1st, 2007

Yemoja Achaba once was married to Orunmila, who had great respect for her, on account of her being not only very wise, but also very dangerous. She is a great caster of magic spells. She listens by turning her back at you.

Yemoja Ibu Aró

Posted in Yemoja/Yemaya/Imanja, Oshumare/Ochumare, Orisha Oko by Omolotiwa on the December 17th, 2006

In this path, Yemoja dyes cloth with indigo. She is the wife of Oshumaré, the rainbow. It is said that when this path mounts her children, regardless of the weather, the sky will blacken. This is also one of the signs that she has truly possessed her mount. I have also heard that in this camino, she is the wife of Orisha Oko.

Ibu Aró is the path of Yemoja I was made to.
