What Is the Yemaya Protection Spell?

The Yemaya Protection Spell is a respected ritual from African and Afro-Caribbean traditions that invokes Yemaya—the Orisha of the ocean, motherhood, and nurturing—to block harmful energies and cleanse your aura.

Rooted in Yoruba spiritual wisdom and honored in Santería and Candomblé, this ritual channels Yemaya’s motherly protection through sacred colors, offerings, and intention to build a safe, peaceful energetic field around you.

Materials You’ll Need

• 1 whole fish

Step-by-Step: Perform the Yemaya Protection Spell

1. On clean slips of paper, write the names of individuals, forces, or energies that wish you harm.
2. Place the slips inside the fish’s mouth, symbolically trapping negativity.
3. Seal the fish’s mouth securely with silver pins.
4. Coat the entire fish in dark molasses to bind and immobilize harmful intentions.
5. Arrange blue and white candles around the fish on your Yemaya altar.
6. Keep the setup undisturbed for seven days. Tend the candles safely, focusing on Yemaya’s protection and your intention.
7. On day seven, place seven silver coins beside the fish and release both into running water (river, stream, or ocean). Offer heartfelt thanks to Yemaya.

Understanding Yemaya’s Role in Protection

Yemaya (Yemọja/Yemoja) represents the ocean’s vast, loving power—motherhood, fertility, and protection. In rituals, she is invoked to block hexes, soothe emotions, and restore balance. Her blue and white colors and connection to water inform every element of this spell.

Prepare Your Sacred Space

Cleanse your altar and decorate it with blue and white fabrics, seashells, and water symbols. Many practitioners burn sage or incense first. As you prepare, visualize a bright, protective sphere of Yemaya’s energy forming around you—calm, strong, and impenetrable.

Respectful Practice and Cultural Authenticity

Approach Yemaya with reverence and gratitude. Study her roots in Yoruba tradition and Afro-Caribbean religions to align your intentions. If you want additional energetic hygiene before or after this ritual, our Cleansing Spell can help maintain a clear aura.

Enhance Your Results

1. Lunar Timing

Perform during a full moon or on Mondays to harmonize with water and feminine energies. This timing often amplifies the spell’s ability to protect and emotionally release.

2. Protective Affirmations

Combine your work with focused words, such as: “Yemaya, surround me with your ocean of love; no harm can cross your waves.” Consistent affirmations align the subconscious with protection.

3. Altar Enhancements

Add aquamarine or moonstone, seashells, and a small bowl of saltwater to deepen your resonance with Yemaya’s oceanic domain.

4. Follow-Up Protection and Hex Removal

If you suspect deeper interference, pair this ritual with a targeted removal like the Black Magic Hex Removal Spell to clear resistant energies.

5. Ongoing Devotion

Maintain a small Yemaya altar year-round. Refresh candles and offerings, and give thanks in times of safety—not only in crisis. Consistency builds lasting protection.
