OrÃ: The Divine Self in Yorùbá Spirituality
In Yorùbá spirituality, Orà is more than the head — it is the personal Òrìṣà , the divine spark that governs destiny. Before birth, each soul chooses its Orà in heaven, carrying the blueprint of life to earth. Orà is supreme, greater than even the Òrìṣà , for nothing can bless or hinder without its consent. To honor Orà through gratitude, character, and care is to align with destiny and walk life’s path in harmony.
