THE NATURE OF ORISHA

Element: The Roads, Crossroads
Symbolism: Eleguá is the messenger of the Orisha and the guardian of all paths and opportunities. He is the wind that whispers messages and the force that opens or closes doors in life.

The Energy Behind the Mess: Healing Stuck Spaces
We all have that one room.
The one that collects everything.
The one you close the door on.
The one that feels... heavy.
It’s not just the clutter. It’s the energy.
Build Your Ori Altar: A Sacred Space Guide
A sacred space is not a luxury.
In Yoruba tradition, Ori is your inner divinity — the part of you that chose your destiny before birth.
Your Ori altar is a daily reminder that your truth lives within you.
Here’s how to begin:
🌿 White cloth — for clarity
💧 Bowl of clean water — for reflection
🕯️ Candle — for illumination
🖐🏾 Your presence — absolutely required
Speak softly:
“Orí mi, gbọ́ mi. Gba mí. Jẹ́ kí n mọ ọ̀nà mi.”
(My Ori, hear me. Guide me. Let me know my path.)
You don’t need a temple.
You are the temple.
