Ancestors First: Omio Yemaya!

Ancestors First is a five part series encompassing the basic knowledge of African Traditional Religions to assist you in tapping into your spiritual history.  Dive into the world of the Yoruba tradition.  

In this third workshop, you will learn about Yemaya, the mother of the world!  All children are born of the fishes and the fishes belong to Yemaya. During this workshop we will honor Yemaya as the mother to the motherless. We will discuss the many paths of Yemaya,  learn different offerings to bring to her, and prepare a Yemaya bath.
