Read more An Oral Tradition Handed down orally and at first within the bloodlines of the family only, the many ways of practicing are not recorded in any book. This leads to great changes in short periods of time, as anyone who has ever played a game of telephone or whisper down the lane is well aware of. The tradition is also dependent upon human memory, the capacity and willingness to learn and absorb information, and the commitment of the students so that they can be fit enough to pass the teachings on. After receiving the teachings, the student-turned-teacher must also be able to correctly and fully share them with others. In order to preserve the tradition and its practices, priests and priestesses came together creating secret groups to hand down the secrets, knowledge, and rituals. Families who had preserved the knowledge within them did the same. Rules and manner of practice, as well as other information would be shared and passed down to apprentices and students.

There are said to be twenty-one groups, thus the name 21 Divisions. Beginning at the highest level, there are three major divisions: the Black Division, the White Division, and the Blue Division. The Black Division encompasses the two major divisions of earth and fire. The White Division is also known as the Rada Division and connected to the energy of air. The Blue Division is of water and encompasses the Misterios of the Taino Indians of the islands and the water spirits. each of these three major divisions is split into seven divisions each. Thus, we get a total of 21 Divisions. Furthermore, there are magical meanings, sacredness, and associations in the numbers 3, 7, and 21. All are considered lucky and holy numbers.

When one has ones doors or roads closed, this denotes that they lack any chances, opportunities, and therefore luck. Obstacles on ones roads lead to troubles and issues. This division is the one in charge of opening the doors and roads in order for progress and success. Likewise it controls closing the doors and roads so that negativity cannot reach the servidor.
