Ifá Teachings on Gifts and New Experiences: Honoring Orí and Embracing Destiny
In Ifá spirituality, each soul chooses an Orí before birth, carrying unique gifts (ẹ̀bùn) to fulfill destiny. These talents are not just personal blessings but communal responsibilities, meant to guide us through life’s challenges and new experiences. By honoring Orí, cultivating good character (ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́), and using our gifts with patience and humility, we transform every encounter into wisdom, resilience, and honor.

Orí and the Imprints of Experience in Ifá Spirituality
In Ifá spirituality, Orí is more than the head—it is destiny, consciousness, and the divine spark that guides each person. Life experiences leave imprints on the body (ara) and inner self (inú), which can cloud Orí and affect choices, emotions, and clarity. Through prayer, gentle offerings (adimú), ritual baths, ancestor veneration, and good character (ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́), we cool, sweeten, and realign the head. A good Orí brings peace and honor.
