Yemaya (Yemoja, Iamanja) is the orisha (goddess) of the ocean in Afro-Caribbean religions such as Santeria, and in many modern Pagan faiths. She is depicted as a mermaid in the ocean, or a woman in her 30s on land, where she wears flowing white clothes and blue beads. She is of mixed race, and is the particular guardian of mothers and children, and of those recovering from gender violence.

Get the Yeray mug.Yerma ('Barren') is a tragic play by the Spanish playwright and poet Federico García Lorca. It was written in 1934, and first performed the same year.
The play tells the story of a childless woman living in rural Spain. Her desperate desire for motherhood becomes an obsession that eventually drives her to commit a horrific crime. This desperation is produced by the social norms of her culture, and the work functions as a critique of those mores.
Yerma is one of the three tragic plays which form Lorca's famous 'Rural trilogy'. The others being Bodas de sangre ('Blood Wedding') and La Casa de Bernarda Alba ('The House of Bernarda Alba'). The trilogy similarly emphasise the submissive position of women who desire freedom in a traditional society which denies them social or sexual equality.
Yerma deals with the themes of isolation, passion and frustration. Social conventions of the period also play a large part in the play's plot.
