Yemaya Waist Beads

These waist beads are made in honor of the beautiful Orisha of the Sea, Yemaya. If you’re not familiar with Orishas, they are a group of deities worshipped in the Yoruba religion, which originated in West Africa and spread to other parts of the world through the African diaspora. Yemaya is one of the most well known Orishas, and a part of the Seven African Powers. 

💙Yemaya is the goddess of the Sea, the Mother of all living thing, and the protector of mothers and children. She is associated with emotions, intuition, healing, fertility, and maternal love. Yemaya teaches you how to create abundance in your own life, and gives you protection along the way. She is often depicted as a mermaid, and her sign and symbols include: the colors blue, white and silver, the number is 7 (representing the Seven Seas), cowrie shells, pearls, and the Moon.

✨Waist beads are a cultural tradition, originating in Africa, often worn as a symbol of femininity & fertility, to gauge weight, and for their healing powers. They come in a variety of colors, with each color corresponding to a specific healing property or intention. For example, blue is associated with the throat chakra and works to help one speak their truth and brings peace and harmony. Waist beads are great for anyone who is looking to boost their confidence, tap further into their feminine energy, or set intention to a manifestation! 

Each of my waist beads come in a variety of colors and sizes and are handmade with intention and love. If you are interested in a custom set, you can find my customs post in the waist beads tab.
