Yemaya Market Tote by Spartina 449
The legend of Yemaya - Ebb & flow. Ups & downs. The mother-ocean goddess Yemaya endures it all. Said to have ruled the most powerful waterway in Nigeria, Yemaya sailed with Africans who were brought into the New World to watch over them as they endured the perilous journey. Comforting and compassionate, Yemaya’s energy flows through seashells, and folklore says she gave shells to humans so they could hear her voice just as a mother would. To honor this mothering mermaid, Spartina offers their Yemaya pattern: a blooming bouquet of abundant florals and flourishes.
