An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

In the religion of the Yoruba people, Obàtálá is the creator of human bodies, which were brought to life by God's breath. Obàtálá is also the owner of all ori or heads. Any orisha may lay claim to an individual, but until that individual is initiated into the priesthood of that orisha, Obàtálá still owns that head. This stems from the belief that the soul resides in the head.
