Product name: Yemaya Conus Pendant
Price: $7.95
These pendants are made from natural conus shells, biwa pearls, and garnets and measure between 2.5 and 3cm. They are made in reverence to Yemaya, the Mother of all life on Earth.
In the Vodun creation story, the creation of the Universe happened in phases. The Supreme God created the Universe in a grand explosion of energy (the “big bang”) and along with it “birthed” the first Orishas. In the Gnostic tradition, these would be called the Archangels.
The Supreme God then assigned some of them to manage the environments and create life on their respective planets. Yemaya is the one in charge of Earth, and birthed life from the sea. So she is both the Mother (though not the Supreme Mother) and the Orisha of the seas.
