In the following excerpt, John Mason, himself a babalòrìṣà (priest of an òrìṣà, or Yorùbá divinity), discusses the colors associated with specific òrìṣà and their domains and attributes: Èṣù-Ẹlẹ́gbá, the cosmic crossroads; Ògún, the hunt, iron, and war; Erinlẹ́, medicine and the hunt; Ọ̀ṣọ́ọ̀sì, the hunt; Ọ̀ṣun, the gushing spring; Yẹmọja, motherhood; Olókun, the waters; Ọya, the whirlwind; Babalúaiyé, the earth; Ṣàngó, thunder; the creator god Ọbàtálá, ethical rightness.

Consilience in Developing a Multidisciplinary Framework of Spirituality: Scientific Commentary on Chatlos
Calvin Chatlos provides a novel consideration of spiritual experiences and attempts to find ontological grounds to span these concerns within science, philosophy, and theology. Conceptualization of spiritual experiences in terms of self-worth presents interesting avenues for future considerations of the role of self in explaining spirituality but also faces several validity challenges. Resolving ontological issues requires first addressing epistemological issues regarding the nature of knowledge, which permits an interdisciplinary investigation of spirituality and the soul. The cross-cultural validity of such constructs requires their basis in neurophenomenology, neurognostic perspectives, and neurological processes that engage naturalist perspectives on the foundations of religion.
