A Sacred Invocation to the Power of Orí

In the sacred cosmology of our people, Orí is not merely the physical head we see in the mirror—it is the inner compass of our destiny. Orí is the divine blueprint, the celestial spark that accompanies each soul into the world. It is the first and final authority over our path in life, and when we are in alignment with it, no force—seen or unseen—can overpower us.

But how often do we truly speak to our Orí? How often do we venerate it, protect it, feed it, and listen to it? In a world clouded with envy, malice, and spiritual attacks, many destinies are delayed, diverted, or even destroyed—not because of external power, but because the individual has not stood in active spiritual relationship with their Orí.

I share below a sacred invocation—a Prayer to My Orí—that emerged from deep meditation, experience, and divine instruction. I encourage you to recite this prayer regularly, especially during times when you feel unseen battles surrounding your life, relationships, or progress. Speak it with clarity, reverence, and truth.

Prayer to My Orí

Orí mi, my Divine Inner Head,
The sacred seat of my destiny, the first witness to my arrival in this world—
I bow to you in humility and rise with you in power.

Please, do not be unfortunate.
You were not created for disgrace or destruction.
You are the royal path, the crown I wear even when no one sees it.

Whatever evil people are whispering to confuse you, whatever lies they send to cloud your judgment—
Do not listen to them.
Do not accept the noise of envious mouths or the poison of deceitful intentions.
Listen only to my voice, Orí mi.
Listen only to the one who you were assigned to from the beginning.

When enemies cast shadows toward me,
When their hands release negative energy, curses, or spiritual attacks—
Rise, Orí mi. Rise like the morning sun and defend your throne.

Reflect all their evil back to them—**not once, but one hundred times**.
Let every evil they throw scatter before it lands.
Let confusion sit only in their own camp.

Be as firm as Ogun, as wise as Ọrúnmìlà, as radiant as Ọbàtálá, and as precise as Èṣù.
Let your silence be my shield, and your justice my revenge.
Where I am wrongly accused, let truth thunder.
Where I am envied, let favour multiply.

I offer this prayer not just with words, but with alignment, action, and honour.
Today, I venerate you, feed you with consciousness, and renew my oath to trust your leading.
Guide me in clarity.
Crown me with light.
And let my destiny speak louder than any enemy ever could.

Asé.

Dear reader, the strength of your journey begins and ends with your relationship with Orí. Before you consult anyone else, consult Orí. Before you ask the world for approval, seek Orí's alignment. Feed it. Speak to it. Trust it.

When Orí accepts your offering, not even a thousand enemies can touch you.
When Orí walks before you, even closed gates open.
When Orí rises, the world must bow.

May your Orí be honoured. May your path be clear. And may no evil prosper where you are aligned.

Asé.
