Where in Africa do people worship the Mother Goddess
and in what forms?
The Youruba tribe in Africa
worships the Mother Goddesses as Yemaya, the Goddess of the ocean and Oshun,
the Goddess of rivers. Like Ganga, there is a river named after Oshun in
Nigeria on whose banks devotees lovingly offer their worship to her. She is
called the sweet mother and is known to unfailingly grant the wishes of her
devotees. Oshun's husband is Shango who is represented as a Linga as Shambho or
Shiva the lord of Ganga is represented.
May the Sweet Mothers Oshun
and Yemaye bless us all.
Jai Mata Di!
