[PAR] [TLE] Yoruba religion [SEP] The Yoruba religion, comprising the traditional religious concepts and practices of the Yoruba people, is found primarily in southwestern Nigeria and the adjoining parts of Benin, and Togo, commonly known as Yorubaland.  Yoruba religion is ancestral or partially ancestral to the Afro-American religions Santería, Trinidad Orisha, Umbanda, Brujería, Hoodoo, Candomblé, Quimbanda, Orisha, Xangô de Recife, Xangô do Nordeste, Comfa, Espiritismo, Santo Daime, Candomblé, Abakuá, Kumina, Winti, Sanse, Cuban Vodú, Dominican Vudú, Louisiana Voodoo, Haitian Vodou, and Vodun.  Yoruba religious beliefs are part of "itan", the complex cultural concepts which make up the Yoruba society. [PAR] [TLE] Yemoja [SEP] Yemoja (Yoruba: "Yemọja" ) is a major water deity from the Yoruba religion.  She is an orisha and the mother of all orishas, having given birth to the 14 Yoruba gods and goddesses.  She is often syncretized with either Our Lady of Regla in the afrocuban diaspora or various other Virgin Mary figures of the Catholic Church, a practice that emerged during the era of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.  Yemoja is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow.  She is said to be able to cure infertility in women, and cowrie shells represent her wealth.  She does not easily lose her temper, but when angered she can be quite destructive and violent, as the flood waters of turbulent rivers.
