About Òtúrá Oríire Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Temple
Òtúrá Oríire Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Temple is devoted to guiding the descendants of Africa back to their ancestral
spiritual practices. Our mission is rooted in decolonization, resistance, and spiritual healing.
The guiding odù of our temple, Òtúrá Ogbè, emphasizes the importance of Orí. Through this
guiding principle, we work to support individuals in realigning with their destiny and purpose.
Our goal is to cultivate skilled, knowledgeable, and self-sufficient priests and priestesses who
lead with wisdom, integrity, and strong character.
Òtúrá Ogbè is also known as Òtúrá Oríire, meaning “Òtúrá of good fortune,” or more precisely,
“Òtúrá of a blessed Orí.” In this respect, we work to cultivate the good fortune that comes
through alignment with one’s destiny—for both our members and the broader community.
Additionally, Òtúrá Ogbè is known as Òtúrá Oríkọ̀ , where kọ̀ means “to reject.” This name
reflects narratives in which Orí rejects death and negative forces, demonstrating the power
inherent in alignment with one’s destiny.
