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.
