ORÍ (One’s Consciousness)
Orí, pèlé, Atèté níran Atété gbe ni kòòsá. Kò sóòsà tíí dá ‘níí gbé lèyìn orí eni.
Head, I call you, you who always quickly blesses your own. You who bless a person before any Spirit, no Spirit blesses a person without the permission of head.
Ase
May it be so.

Emi ma ji loni o, o. Mo f'ori bale f'Olorun.
Now I am waking up. I give respect to the Realm of the Ancestors
Ire gbogbo maa' wa'ba' me, Ori mi da'mi da'iye. Ngo ku mo. Ire gbogbo ni t'emi. Imole ni ti Amakisi.
Let all good things come to me. Inner Spirit give me life. I shall never die. Let all good things come to me. The Spirits of Light belong to Amakisi.
Ase.
May it be so.
