“Character is the essence; character is the person.” In Yorùbá spirituality, Iwà Pẹ̀lẹ́ is a sacred journey of self-discipline, humility, and alignment with destiny. Rooted in the guidance of Orí and the wisdom of Ifá, this article explores how good character shapes who we become—personally, ancestrally, and spiritually.

In Yorùbá spirituality, change is not feared—it is honored as a sacred opportunity for realignment and growth. Through ancestral guidance, divination, ritual offering (ẹbọ), and the cultivation of good character (Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ̀), individuals are empowered to face transition with clarity and strength. By embracing change as a spiritual path rather than a disruption, we align with divine forces and unlock the transformative power of our Orí.

Divination in Yorùbá spirituality is more than a ritual—it's sacred guidance. Whether through the wisdom of Ifá and Ọ̀rúnmìlà or the direct messages received through Ẹ̀rìndílógún and Obi by Òrìṣà priests and priestesses, divination reveals what is hidden, restores clarity, and prescribes the path back to balance. It is here that devotees learn not only what is out of alignment, but how to realign their spirit through precise ritual, prayer, and the renewal of character.
