Orí, literally meaning "head," refers to one's spiritual intuition and destiny.

It is believed by the Yoruba religion 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 Orí or divine self.

It is also believed that Orí be worshiped like Orisha.

When things are not going right, Orí should be consulted, to make things right Orí should be appeased.
