WHAT IS NUMEROLOGY?
Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It is used to determine a person’s personality, strengths and talents, obstacles, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others. Whether you use numerology to examine your life, take advantage of unexplored opportunities, confirm your talents or simply figure out where to go next, numerology can be a penetrating tool that helps you understand yourself and loved ones better. Numerology presents the whole picture, revealing all the diverse parts of your personality and how they come together to create the person you are. With this complete view, you are able to make the most of your strengths.

HOW NUMEROLOGY WORKS
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the qualities and energies associated with it. By applying the principles of numerology — and using only a name and birth date as the basic data — you can determine the major frequencies of a person. A numerological analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information on personality and character.

HOW ARE NUMEROLOGY CALCULATIONS DONE
In numerology, all numbers are reduced to the single digits 1 through 9 except the special master numbers 11 and 22. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22 represent the major vibration rates associated with people’s characteristics.
The numbers are reduced by simple addition. The number 15, for instance, is reduced by adding 1 + 5 to get 6. Similarly, the number 1974 can be reduced by adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21. The 21 can be further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3.
Letters in individuals’ names are converted to numbers and then added together. These numbers, in turn, are also reduced. The letter A, for instance, is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the English alphabet.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z

By applying simple mathematical formulas to the numbers representing a person’s name and birth date, a numerologist can derive four major core elements and some 20 or 30 modifiers. A symbolic evaluation of these elements and modifiers provides a remarkably complete and accurate character analysis. About half the information in the analysis comes from the birth date; the other half comes from the name.

Obatala Paths are many, here we are listing only about 24 of them and will be updating with more throughout the blog in the near future. Enjoy!  (The Article Source is Below)

Baba Ayaguna

Ayaguna is the young and warrior aspect of Obatala. His colors are white with touches of red. He is said to have brought war to the world while in his warrior aspect. Ayaguna rides on a white horse swaying his sable. This Obatala takes everything that has to do with war. You can place bullets, swords, spears, arrows, a white horse that is packed with different secrets and covered with a red cape. Ayaguna is said to have drank a lot as well and he is always bring revolution to where he goes. In this aspect he fights and guards his children with a heavy hand. When he comes down, he imitates the act of swinging his sword and riding a horse. He is the son of Osagrinan and he takes a white and red flag next to him or in the house where he resides. He is the ONLY Obatala that in certain cases of war and battle he will take corojo in his osain or foods.

Baba Osagrinan

Osagrinan is an old Obatala who was married to Oshanla. Osagrinan is said to walk with a walking staff or preferably 2 crutches that he uses. Osagrinan’s color is white with touches of coral or red. It is said that he hears all and when this Obatala gets upset he releases his crutches and dances on one leg. He is the father of Orula. When Osagrinan comes down, he dances and trembles like an old man. His vessel is broken into 4 different compartments where different secrets live including some of Ifa. He also lives on top of a table of Ifa that was given tohim by his son Orula.

Baba Agema

Agema is the Obatala that lives high in the cieba tree. His colors are white with touches of green. He is represented by a chameleon in which the skin is so transparent that Odudwa can see all the bad that the world is doing. Walks with Oduduwa every where he goes. He’s also said to be seen on top of the ceiba tree leaves or by the walls of the river where Oshun is at. There is a special hat that is made for his children whenever they are sick that they put on their head and do a cleansing with. He also takes inside of his vessel a silver chain with 9 silver pigeons alongside with 7 arrows in which he uses to send messages to Olofi. When he comes down he imitates the look of a chameleon.

Baba Oba Moro

Oba Moro is very old and frail Obatala that suffered for the bad of mankind. His color is white with touches of purple. He is said to have held the cross that the Catholic Church Jesus was said to be crucified. When he comes down he acts like he is carrying the cross of the world on his shoulder. He takes thorns, a ladder, a silver axe and other tools that he uses inside of his vessel.

Baba Ochalufon

This Obatala is an old man and he is the Obatala that invented the tongue and showed mankind how to speak. His colors are white with off white beads. He is the constant and honorable right hand man of Olofi. He is the rays of the sun when setting. Ochalufon gave Chango the secrets to pack Oggue. He invented the art of sewing and he is the preferred child of Odudwa. You place to him a quartz stone and a crown that holds 16 African grey feathers. His followers place him behind a curtain where not that much light touches his tureen.

Okè

Okè is the orisha of the mountains, hills and peaks of the Earth. He is a very important and special orisha in which is he is the first orisha to actually symbolize a birth of a priest or priestess within our community. This is due to that one of the first ceremonies is of Okè initializing the consecration of the herbs to make the ashè for the birth of the priest or priestess. He represents firmness in our lives. Just as a mountain is tall and strong so is Okè. This orisha is part of the Obatala court and he is represented by a large white stone. Usually this stone is found on the floor in the house of a priest/ess in a white bowl covered in cascarilla, cocoa butter and covered with cotton. In some houses, priest/ess place Okè inside of Obatala or even next to him. I like him on the floor because of the representation of a mountain or hill starts from the ground and grows up tall and strong. Okè sacrificial animals are the same as Obatala in all aspects. They must be clean and white. Some people tend not to work with Okè as I believe maybe they don’t know how to work with him but he is an orisha just as the others and his ebbos are very powerful and strong. When you want to strengthen something or calm a situation or someone you can use Okè.

Baba Oloyu Okuni

This aspect of Obatala is said to be the creator of eyes of humankind. He is petitioned when there is a problem with the eyes. His colors are all white.

Even though he’s young, he takes a cane that is covered all in his beads and then covered with Ache of Orula. He’s also a warrior and has a red cloth around his waist.

This entry describes seven african powers; these spirits belong to the Orisha Pantheon in the practice of santeria. Please see link below for article source.

Eleggua

The owner of the roads and opportunities. He is the messenger between human beings and the other orishas. He is always the first one to be honored during any ceremony because without his approval, nothing can be accomplished. Also a healer and master magician, he can be extremely generous as well as cruel. That’s why he is associated with the devil in the Brazilian Candomble tradition. However, in the Yoruba tradition he is not seen as evil. His tricks are simply opportunities to learn lessons. He is the trickster. In Santeria, Eleggua is the one who protects the home against dangers. Most santeros keep him in the house close to the front door. They give him offerings every Monday and on the third day of the month. His favorite gifts are candies, candles, toys, rum and cigars.

Obatala

The orisha of peace, harmony and purity. He is the father of most orishas and the creator of humankind. He is the owner of the world. He represents clarity, justice and wisdom. Everything that is white on Earth belongs to him: the snow, the sky, the bones and the brain. In some paths, Obatala manifests as a female. Some people see him as an androgynous deity that contained both male and female energies representing respectively heaven and earth. Obatala is invoked for health, peace and harmony. An Altar to Obatala/Oxala

Oloddumare

The central creative force worshiped in the Yoruba tradition and in the Yoruba-based religions such as Santeria and Candomble. He is the concept of God.

Oshun

The goddess of love, sexuality, beauty and diplomacy. She is the owner of the sweet waters. With her sweetness, she overcomes the most difficult tasks. She is the protector of the abdominal area and the teacher of pleasure and happiness. She is a great giver, but when she is angry, it is very difficult to calm her down. She is often invoked in matters of love and money.

Oya

is the goddess of the wind, fire and the thunderbolt. As the female warrior of the Yoruba pantheon, she represents female power. She is strong, assertive, courageous and independent and is always willing to take risks. When she is enraged, she can create tornadoes and hurricanes, but these also happened when she is ready to make changes. Oya is a great witch and the guardian of the gates of death. She is invoked when there are serious illness or when transformation is necessary.

Yemalla

The goddess of the sea and the moon. She is the mother archetype and the provider of wealth. As the one who gives life and sustains the Earth, she is extremely generous and giving. She is the nurturing energy that sooth anyone. But like the ocean, when she is angry, she can be implacable. Therefore, she represents the mother who gives love, but does not give her power away. Yemaya is also the owner of the collective subconscious and ancient wisdom, since she holds the secrets that are hidden in the sea. She is often invoked in fertility rituals for women and in any ritual concerning women’s issues.

Shango

Once the fourth king of Yoruba, and immortalized as the thunder god, Shango is legendary across the African Atlantic world. Shangє’s storms and lightning bring a purifying moral terror encapsulated by the boldness and immediacy of his art and altars. Shangє attracts many followers, as his intensive entourage represented on his altar.
