Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Santería, the "owner of the head" refers to the specific Oricha (deity) that rules over an individual's destiny and is considered the most important protector of that person. Practitioners sometimes confuse this concept, thinking it refers to the initiate themselves rather than the deity that owns their head.
