Yemowo

Yemowo is not Yemoja and the names are close enough to make trouble. She is Obatala's wife, white-clad like him, an elder among the water powers, and her worship has contracted to Ife while his has gone worldwide — which is a fairly ordinary fate for a consort in any tradition and worth writing down rather than losing. The registry had Obatala and Yemoja and not her.
