Yemaya: Blessing of the Waters (January 2026)

The annual YEMAYA BLESSING OF THE WATERS, held in honour of Yemaya around the first full moon of each new calendar year, will be taking place on Friday, 2 January 2026.

We will meet at the northern carpark near the Largs Bay Sailing Club around 7.40pm and will be heading down to the shore in honour of Yemaya, the Queen of the Rivers and Oceans just prior to 8pm.

The rite will be commencing around 8:15pm.

In this informal rite, we ask for Yemaya’s blessings of all the world’s waterways, sea creatures, and all other beings that fall under Her protection.

Please bring an offering to Yemaya (flower, crystal, stone etc) that will be thrown into the ocean.

Participants will also be invited to share in a libation of watermelon (Yemaya’s favourite food).

Children are also welcome to attend but must be supervised by their parents/guardians.

A gold coin/loose change charitable donation will be collected.
