In Traditional Ifá, Orí is the starting point and culmination of all spiritual understanding. Before praying to any external divinity, a person must first align their own mind and consciousness.

Orí ló ń kọ́kọ́ dágbè fún ọmọ aráyé. (It is Orí that first bestows blessings upon human beings.)

The Practice of Abọrí

In the Akurẹ́ tradition, venerating one's Orí through Abọrí is the most essential spiritual practice. By applying cool water, sacred herbs, and prayers to the crown of the head, the individual washes away spiritual confusion and awakens their divine potential.
