If you can’t swim or are afraid of water, you may still petition Yemaya.
-
Sit down in the sand at the waterline.
-
As the waves come in, greet them with your hands, gather up the water from the waves, and toss some over your head, some over your body.
-
Throw seven white roses to Yemaya.
-
Come out of the water without turning your back to the ocean. Let the candles burn out.
