of a series of performance on the important ori (Head) It was at night
in the bright moon in the month of May, during the rainy season. The
new yam harvest was complete, and everyone was happy, mostly the
farmers. This excitement was even deeper for my mother as she
discovered I was there, new in her belly. It was then nearer to the
celebration of Yemoja, the mother of wealth, wisdom, protection of the
poor, the mother of all kids. She is of water and comes to purify
everyone. She treats all equally, no matter what, where or how they
come. I was so moved that I said, “Mama, it’s time for me to come
out. I want be a part of this celebration!” January is my month; I
am of water. Oh, mama, I am sorry I gave you headache, that I kept you
in labor for 4 days before I finally came out. Ori is the first to
visit the world, Ori is the guide through the journey on earth. There
is whispering into my ear, what should I worship if is not Ori! Ori!!
Ori!!! “Head” they repeated 3 times. I had no idea what this
meant. As I grew from that baby, I always asked myself why Ori should
be worshiped and not religion, when there are so many religions on
earth. Why Ori, Why Ori, Why Ori the head is to be worshiped above any
other religions. The darkness of the soul. The tears of joy or sorrow.
You, Ori, lead the way when it looks like there is no way out, when
everything is block, when the sun refuses to shine, when rain is not
falling, when the land is dry and the plants are turning brown. When I
had no one with me to talk to, to protect me, Ori is my confidence, my
courage. When I fall, fail many times and there is no one to share the
pain, Ori is my partner. When success comes, and the world comes to
drink and eat the honey, after they all leave again, Ori is still
standing by. When no one is to blame, everyone is to be blamed. Ori,
the lord of the body, I praise you, I adore you, I worship you. You
mediate between me and the supreme being. It is in pride of you that
women spent time at the saloon to give a befitting style to make their
head beautiful beyond compare. It shows the importance of what Ori is
to Men that they cut lovely shapes of styles on their heads. Ori is
celebrated all over the world. So many uncountable head caps, hats and
wraps are created for Ori alone. So also, the women of West Africa
will spend time in front of their mirrors to tie their head ties only
to add beauty to their Ori. Please Ori never leave me, without you Ori
where will the rest of my body be? Ori! Ori!! Ori!!! You are beyond
explanation of worship; I can’t find word to express you Ori. You
are to be valued. You are worshiped. View Map
