Yemaya: Magick & Motherhood

Once upon a time, many and many a year ago when I was a young single mother, strange things began to happen to me. I could smell the ocean all the time, even though I lived far from any coast. I had vivid dreams of hanging out on a beach with a motherly woman: fleshy but not fat, powerful and comforting. She wore a blue dress with a full skirt that had white frilly things underneath. Whenever I was faced with any kind of new baby dilemma, I would get these odd intuitions telling me what to do. Not really a voice in my head; more like somebody beaming ideas directly into my brain. At one point I noticed that all my clothes were blue.
