Episode 3: Medicine Song~ Odoya Yemanja
Episode Description
This short episode is a living prayer—an invocation of Yemanjá, the Great Mother of the Seas.
Revered across Afro-Atlantic traditions, Yemanjá is the Orisha of the ocean, the womb of creation, and the protector of women, children, and all who journey by water. She carries the medicine of fluidity, intuition, and vast motherly grace. Her colors are turquoise and silver, her offerings are flowers and song, and her embrace is as infinite as the tides.
I first met her at 28, and since then she has been a guiding current in my life. Yemanjá choreographs the vastness—helping me weave complex ideas with fluidity, elegance, and beauty. She reminds me that I am the source.
What you’ll hear is a raw, unfiltered chant of devotion—recorded one night in ceremony under the stars of Asheville, with crickets as the chorus and the night sky as witness. It is an offering, a blessing for this podcast, and a prayer for all who enter this sound sanctuary.
May her waters wash over you. May her song remind you of your own depth, your own rhythm, your own eternal source.
