Description
Yoba is the ancient guardian deity in the game. They are referenced multiple times throughout the game by different characters. There is also a shrine to Yoba found in the down right corner of Pierre's General Store where you occasionally will find different characters paying their respects to the deity.
References to Yoba
The symbol which distinguishes references to Yoba is the Anglo-Saxon rune called "ear" (ᛠ), which can mean "earth" or "grave." This could be taken to mean that the people of Pelican Town worship the Earth. This symbol can be found:
1. On top of "Altar of Yoba" (Pierre's Shop)
The Altar of Yoba was originally intended to charge a wand. The wand would allow unlimited teleportation back to the farm. This was, however, removed because "it was OP for how easy it was to get." [1]
2. Checking the Ring of Yoba (though it is conflicting, with the round nature of the ring). The ring has a chance to make you invulnerable after getting hit.

3. In the game 'Journey of the Prairie King', on the third level, on tombstones. When picking up a tombstone the symbol is reversed (upside-down), and using it will cast lightning upon you, turning you into an invulnerable zombie (for a limited amount of time).

4. In the starting cutscene, on the grandpa's wall.
5. At Harvey's clinic in the top right room.
When interacting it states:
6. In Mayor Lewis' Bedroom, just above his bed.
Yoba Related Dialogue
[Note: May not contain every single piece of dialogue about Yoba.]
Caroline:
"It was the previous owners who built the altar room. We aren't religious, but we let the other townsfolk use it if they want."
Note: It's strange she says this because Abigail seems to have a poster of some sort of altar in her room. Though there seems to be no direct link between Yoba and the poster. The same poster is not present in the insert of her room to the right of the players, which appears once married.

"I've never been religious, but hey... I'm old." Observed entering the Yoba Shrine on Summer 28, at 11:10 AM.
Jodi:
Observed entering the Yoba Shrine on Summer 28, at 11:40 AM. Gives usual dialogue when interacted with.
Robin:
"My husband almost set the house on fire last night with his science experiment. One of his beakers exploded and sent a fireball into the rafters! Thanks Yoba I used a fire-resistant lacquer when I built the place."
[Note: Image is missing "I used a fire-resistant lacquer when I built the place." dialogue]
Highlights From The Book of Yoba (Museum) (one of the lost books)
[Before time there was only the endless golden light. The light called out to itself...'Yoba'. Yoba wanted more. Yoba swirled the golden light into a vortex. Yoba swirled and swirled until a hole formed in the eye of the vortex. From this hold sprung a seed. Yoba smoothed the golden light. Yoba smoothed and smoothed, and the light became soil. Into this soil, Yoba planted the seed. The seed sprouted, and behold! A vine sprung skyward, twisting and probing, casting a writhing shadow onto the golden void. After 11 days, the vine bore fruit. Yoba, with knowing wisdom, peeled the tough skin off the fruit and saw that the world was inside. And so that is how the world came to be.]
Unsorted Information (WIP = Work In Progress)
As far, as I know - no one found any way to interact with the "Altar of Yoba" yet. It could be conditional (like bringing a specific item, only on stormy Wednesdays, which is difficult to test, because Pierre closes his shop on that day, before you repair the Community Center), and storms are rare, but I can't datamine to know for sure.
