Another interesting connection for ones who sight the connection between the Yoruba and the ancients of Kemet and Ethiopia.

Yoruba word Ori means:

"the word ori is the "reflective spark of human consciousness embedded on human essense, and sha which is the ultimate potentiality of that consciousness." This gives a strong example of how strong language is tied to religion. This Ori is the aspect of the humans that is in a sense in control of their spiritual actions. The ori is divided into two which can be known as the ori apari and the ori apere. The ori apari represents the internal spiritual head and the ori apere represents the sign of an individuals personal protector."
