As a Priest in the Lucumi (Yoruba) religion I believe we each have our own personal Ori. Ori is a metaphysical concept important to Yoruba spirituality and mythology. Ori, literally meaning "head," refers to one’s spiritual intuition and destiny. It is the reflective spark of human consciousness embedded into the human essence. In Yoruba tradition, it is believed that human beings are able to heal themselves both spiritually and physically by working with the Orishas to achieve a balanced character, or iwa-pele. When one has a balanced character, one obtains an alignment with one’s Ori. Alignment with one’s Ori brings, to the person who obtains it, inner peace and satistaction with life. To come to know the Ori is, essentially, to come to know oneself.
