IN the NEWS - Sea goddeesses in the 21st Century?

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans 1:23) Apparently even sea goddesses.

"Worshippers of the sea goddess Yemanja gathered in Copacabana
Beach in Rio de Janeiro to honor the so-called Queen of the Sea.
The followers of Brazil’s Afro-Brazilian Candomble and Umbanda faiths were singing, playing drums, and dancing during the traditional New Year tribute.
Mostly dressed in white, some worshippers launched their offerings to the sea, many carried in small boats with flowers, and bowls with candles, fruits, perfume and some drinks.
Umbanda is an Afro-Brazilian religion that blends African traditions with Roman Catholicism and indigenous American beliefs."
