Hello everyone and welcome back to our
0:02
channel. Today we redive in deep into
0:05
the powerful and nurturing world of the
0:07
Arishious to share a beautiful story
0:09
about Y, the great mother of all, the
0:12
queen of the seas. Her stories are as
0:15
vast and deep as the ocean itself. And
0:17
this one is a powerful reminder of her
0:19
love and strength. In the beginning,
0:21
when the world was still young, Yumoja
0:23
lived on the earth in a great city. She
0:26
was known not only for her stunning
0:27
beauty, which was said to rival the moon
0:29
on a clear night, but for her boundless
0:32
compassion. She was the mother of many
0:34
children, the stars in the sky, and she
0:37
loved them with a fierce and protective
0:39
heart. However, her life was not without
0:42
its trials. Her son, Orurungan, was
0:45
filled with a pride that turned into a
0:47
shadow, and he pursued her relentlessly.
0:49
To escape him, Yumoja fled. She ran and
0:52
ran, her feet barely touching the ground
0:55
until she reached the highest peak of a
0:57
mountain. Exhausted and heartbroken, she
0:59
stumbled and fell. But this was not an
1:02
end. It was a transformation. As she
1:05
fell, her body began to change. Water
1:09
pure and lifegiving, gushed from her,
1:12
flowing down the mountain side. Her
1:14
breasts swelled and became great
1:16
mountains. And from her womb, two rivers
1:19
were born, which flowed together to form
1:22
a massive lagoon. This was how Yamoya
1:24
became the ocean. Her very being
1:26
transformed into the vast life
1:28
sustaining waters that cover our world.
1:31
But her story doesn't stop there. As the
1:33
waters settled, something miraculous
1:36
happened. From her transformed body, 16
1:39
Oishas were born. Among them were
1:41
powerful figures like Ogan, the god of
1:43
iron and war. Shango, the god of thunder
1:47
and lightning, and Oya, the goddess of
1:50
winds and storms. She literally became
1:53
the mother of the pantheon, the source
1:55
from which much of divine life sprang.
1:57
Yamoya's domain is the upper part of the
1:59
ocean, the sunlit waters where life
2:02
flourishes. She represents the creative
2:04
force of life, motherhood, and the deep,
2:07
often hidden aspects of the feminine
2:09
spirit. She is the ultimate nurturer.
2:12
The one who cleanses, heals, and
2:15
protects. When you stand by the shore
2:17
and feel the waves gently lap at your
2:19
feet, that's Yoya's embrace. When you
2:22
see the tide pull back, revealing hidden
2:24
treasures on the sand, that's her
2:26
showing you the secrets she holds. Her
2:28
colors are blue and white, representing
2:31
the waves and the seafoam. Offerings
2:33
made to her often include things from
2:34
the sea or things she loves like melons,
2:38
molasses, and white flowers, which are
2:40
cast into the waves as a sign of respect
2:43
and gratitude. People turn to her for
2:45
help with fertility, for protection for
2:48
their children, and for the strength to
2:50
navigate the emotional tides of their
2:52
own lives. She teaches us that like the
2:54
ocean, we can be both gentle and
2:56
immensely powerful. She shows us that
2:59
even from great sorrow, incredible
3:02
creation and new life can emerge.
3:04
Yamoya's story is a profound reminder of
3:07
the resilience of the maternal spirit.
3:09
She endured a great trial, but instead
3:11
of being destroyed by it, she
3:13
transformed into something even more
3:15
magnificent and essential to the world.
3:18
She is the mother whose arms are wide
3:19
enough to hold everyone. The constant
3:22
rhythmic heartbeat of the planet. Her
3:24
waters connect all lands and her spirit
3:27
connects all of us. Thank you so much
3:29
for joining me on this journey into the
3:30
story of Yumoja. Her tailies are endless
3:34
just like her waters. Brought to you by
