Bibliography and Study Schedule

So, yesterday I promised to follow up that giant Yemaya post with a bibliography of the books and websites that I found to be most useful in finding my information. So, while it is not up to MLA standards here is the information I promised yesterday.

Books:

Baba Raul Canizares Yemaya: Santeria and the Queen of the Seven Seas Original Publications


My Study Schedule:
December: Yemaya Asseu-this is the darkest time of the year and therefore the most appropriate time to work with a death aspect. Besides, She has that beautiful song.

January: Yemonja Erin mi Lokun-I've been working more with animal totems and I think She can help me with this.

February: Yemaya Mayelewo- This is a stressful time of year and her stability is something I can really use. Besides, in our House, Olokun is a separate deity.

March: Yemaya Akuti- this is the month of my High Priestess ordination/crowning in my coven and it seems appropriate to be working with the Queen of the Witches here.

April: Yemonja Banyari: I found Her to be the most interesting and lovable of the river paths.

May: Yemaya Acuaro: The most joyful path of Yemaya, and I think of May as "Oshun's month".

June: Mama Mermaid- This is the path that comes through most strongly, and after all this I'll be ready to wrap that particular pair of arms around me once again. It's not an "official" path, but the one I love best of all none the less.
