Ori: Nurturing Alignment Through Coolness, Character, and Inner Balance
In Yorùbá spirituality, Orí is more than the head you see in the mirror — it is your crown, compass, and the very first Òrìṣà to be honored. As the seat of destiny, Orí guides every step of your journey, shaping how you think, feel, and act. When kept cool (tútù), balanced with good thoughts, calm emotions, and gentle character (ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́), Orí opens the way to peace, prosperity, and fulfillment. To honor Orí is to honor the divine spark within.

You are not lost—you are becoming who you were born to be.
