In Yorùbá thought, Orí is more than the physical head — it is the divine consciousness within, carrying one’s destiny (ayànmọ̀) and guiding the journey of life. It is both personal deity and inner wisdom, the bridge between humanity and Olódùmarè. When we honor and cool our Orí through prayer, good character, and reflection, we align with destiny, find peace, and awaken the divine purpose within.
