FEEL THE VIBE
An orixá with infinite powers, with the infinite strength of the sea.
An orixá that can be reassuring or deadly. At the same time serene and capable of acting with a destructive fury. Like the sea.
It is necessary to please her. Give her gifts. Worship her infinite strength.
This is Iemanjá, whose children and devotees, once a year, in December, occupy Praia Grande on the coast of São Paulo to pay their respects and honor the Queen of the sea, the “mother whose children are fish”.
Born out of water, these fish seek connection and integration with the infinity of this environment. They contemplate, dance, bow, offer, set up altars, light candles.
Iemanjá receives the gifts that please her and returns those that, for whatever reason, she does not accept. The beach and the sea are witnesses of these choices.
For those who believe, anything is possible. Infinity can be reached. The sea can be an ally. Mother Nature and Mother Yemanjá can meet all the needs, all the requests of the faithful devotees.
A devotion as huge as the sea.
It is impossible not to admire the majesty of faith.
