Illapa
Thunder, lightning, weather, war
In the Inca Mythology table used by the Who Watches Over You calculator, Illapa answers to the number 9: the day of the month you were born, reduced to a single digit.
Born under Illapa
Illapa carries a sling and a club and makes thunder by striking the sky; the rain is the water he spills from the Milky Way. You carry force and weather, courage and sudden storms. Aim the lightning at something that deserves it.

About the Inca Mythology gods
The Inca read the sky as a family: Inti the sun as father of the emperor, Mama Quilla the moon as his wife, Chaska the dawn star, Illapa the thunder. The table follows those roles, with Pachamama for the earth and Supay for the mines beneath it. It is a reading, not a reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology
- How is Illapa linked to the number 9?
- Through the psychic number of Vedic numerology: the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit. Each pantheon on this site assigns one god to each number from 1 to 9, and Illapa holds 9 in the Inca Mythology table.
- Is this a traditional Inca Mythology belief?
- No. The gods and their domains are traditional; pairing them with birth numbers is a modern numerological reading, and it is presented here as reflection rather than doctrine.
- What if my life path is different from my birth day number?
- They are two different numbers. This page follows the day of the month; the life path uses your whole date of birth and has its own pages under Numbers.
