Esperança. substantivo feminino. Virtude que completa as três virtudes teologais (fé, caridade e esperança).

A minha espiritualidade sempre se dedicou a me ensinar a ter um tanto de esperança. Ainda segundo o dicionário, esperança "é sinônimo de: confiança, espera, expectativa, perspectiva, fé, possibilidade, probabilidade, ilusão, fantasia, sonho, aguardo".

Gosto de todas as palavras atribuídas. Oxum me ensina a sonhar com a fantasia, de tal forma que Iemanjá me mostra a expectativa, a fé, me ensina a aguardar, mesmo dentro de alguma agitação. Oxumaré, por sua vez, sempre traz a possibilidade. Mostra que a probabilidade é maior que a ilusão.

Brinquei com as palavras, da mesma forma que brinquei com a arte, mas falo com seriedade. O que aprendo com a minha espiritualidade é maior do que qualquer inferno, ao qual todos nós estamos suscetíveis a viver.

Acredite no seu Orixá.

🤍

Iemanjá (also spelled Yemayá. Yemoja, Iemoja, or Yemaya) is one of the most powerful orishas. She is the mother of all living things, rules over motherhood and owns all the waters of the Earth. She gave birth to the stars, the moon, the sun and most of the orishas. Yemaya makes her residence in life-giving portion of the ocean (although some of her roads can be found in lagoons or lakes in the forest). Yemaya’s aché is nurturing, protective and fruitful. Yemaya is just as much a loving mother orisha as she is a fierce warrior that kills anyone who threatens her children.

Yemaya can be found in all the waters of the world, and because of this she has many aspects of “caminos” (roads), each reflecting the nature of different bodies of water. She, like Oshún, carries all of the experiences of womanhood within her caminos. Contrary to popular belief she is not just a loving mother. Some of Yemaya’s caminos are fierce warriors who fight with sabers or machetes and bathe in the blood of fallen enemies. Other roads are masterful diviners that have been through marriage, divorce and back again. Some roads of Yemaya have been rape survivors, while other roads betrayed her sisters out of jealousy and spite. No matter what camino of Yemaya, all are powerful female orishas and fiercely protective mothers.

Yemaya has a very special relationship with two orishas in particular: Oshún and Chango. Oshún is often depicted as Yemaya’s sister, and Yemaya allows Oshún to take residence in her rivers. Yemaya and Oshun relate to one another like typical sisters; they love each other and also have a bit of sibling rivalry. Chango and Yemaya are inseparable. Some followers of Santeria say Yemaya is Chango’s mother. The two of them eat together and Chango shares his wealth with Yemaya. Yemaya helped mold Chango into the wise leader he was meant to be from birth (although he initially lacked the skill to rule with grace).

Music is very important for contact with the Orixás. I speak more about the rhythm and power of the atabaque (musical instrument) than about the music itself. We have a playlist with some "sung points" (which in short, are the songs to the deities). The sound is very different for those who are not Brazilian or even of the religion.

Try a little bit: macumba hits

You don't step on me twice

You can't step into the same water twice

Remember?

the water follows

And me too

Ora YêYê, Oxum. Odoyá, Yemanja. It's just love. Have mercy on us.

A very powerful and intelligent way of representing Yemanja. We learn very early on from the mythology of the Greek gods true "designed" bodies.

I also see it as an anti-fatphobia fight, since, yes, this fat black woman is a beautiful mermaid.

Every year, across the country, Brazilians of all faiths gather to celebrate the Candomblé goddess of the sea, Iemanjá. In Salvador, in particular, the festivities are spectacular and draw large crowds, as well as being shown on TV. Read on to get an idea of when and why this goddess is worshipped and how you can get involved.

What Is the Festival?

The festival of Iemanjá (sometimes spelt Yemanjá) takes place in many places all over Brazil. The biggest celebration of it takes place in the Rio Vermelho neighbourhood in Salvador on February 2 every year. During the festivities, followers of the Candomblé religion offer flowers and gifts to their goddess Iemanjá at the sea’s edge and send them out to her in the ocean. Everyone dresses in white, and night-long music and dancing continue after the offerings have been made.

Iemanjá, goddess (or orixá) of the sea, is a central deity in the Candomblé religion. She watches over sailors and fishermen and controls their catches. She is very powerful, and is concerned with every aspect of womanhood, fertility and family; she is also the protector of children. She often is depicted as a mermaid and is always dressed in either white or blue.
