Nana Baakan Agyiriwah - Cultural/Spiritual Bio

I have been extensively involved in my own spiritual development for over 30 years. I have also assisted in the spiritual and  mental development of a number of clients as part of the work that I do. Anything that I may teach has been applied to my personal life with great results. I am an ordained minister as well as an initiated Priestess of the Akan Spiritual Tradition of Ghana West Africa.

I began my journey when I was born into this incarnation and have done much study in spirituality through my journey through Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Tao and various African Traditions, i.e., Yoruba, Voodoo, Kemetic and Akan. I am presently giving workshops/discussion called.. "Entering the Mystic Realms" where we discuss Dream Interpretations and Metaphysics.

I am a Mental Health Professional, an Educator, Entrepreneur and Healer. My varied travels and studies through: Education, Spirituality, Health & Wellness has allowed me to be able access and be accessible to people from a variety of backgrounds and persuasions. As a business owner I have acquired various skills in Business Management, Marketing and Information Systems related to the business.

I am a performing artist, Managing Director/Founder of The "Voices Of Africa" Choral & Percussion Ensemble. . As a performing artists, I have acquired skills in the West African Arts, Cultural and Traditional/Non-Traditional Music.  I have used my skills as a Seamstress/Tailor to outfit the Entire Ensemble.

There are many facets to who I am on this plane, in short, I consider myself a Metaphysician.

I wish to facilitate the expansion of each person's awareness, allowing their own soul inclinations to come forth and answer some questions for them that may be puzzling to them. The path towards Spiritual Consciousness and Awareness is full of many turns, ups and downs. So I am there to comfort them and bring as much understanding as I can to them with the help of the Most High.

ON THE I CHING


All Praises to the Most High that Dwells within all of us!

Studying the I Ching, really helps to put a perspective on the yin-yang principle. 3d reality on all 3d planets are challenged with finding that middle ground between duality. Once we can meet and maintain that middle ground.. we can ascend to the 4th and then on to the 5th dimension.

The I Ching says, take not gain or loss to heart. It tells us to express the same emotion/feelings when things are good and when things are not so good. It stresses the middle of the road mentality, knowing we are very emotional as human beings.

It teaches us that after every fall is a climb and after every climb there is a fall. It cautions us against extremes and tells us that we experience these ups and downs because we have tipped our own scale towards one extreme or the other. It is a very, very useful tool, I must say:)

Believe it or not, I have more I Ching students/clients than I ever had Akan godchildren. Each day, I understand more and more why because it was really getting to me at one point.

I realize that it is more important to teach people about balance and the need to remain centered than it is to go on and on about this protocol or that protocol, this ritual or that ritual. Too often we get caught up in the display and lose sight of the meaning, the I Ching talks about that too.

It takes a lot of studying over years to grasp just what the I Ching is talking about. I been at it for 30+ years and I still have a ways to go. It peaks your intuition and that's a really good thing, you know.

BTW, if you wish to get an I Ching reading, feel free to contact me. I prefer doing them in person, but we can work out the distance issue if you cannot get to me. No worries:)

What is my mission?


Nana Baakan Agyiriwah, Metaphysician/Akan Priestess 

1. What is your mission and is it spelled out clearly? 

My mission is to bring to the masses the messages I have received from my study internal and external study, about the Metaphysical world and how a conscious access to the Mystical/Spiritual world can improve the individuals understanding of what is going on in and around their world.

2. Secondly, why would anyone be interested in your mission?

Anyone would be interested if they feel drawn to the topics we discuss and want to learn/share more. I believe the Universe has received my intention and will provide an opportunity for this expression in this plane/dimension.

3. I for one don't have a clue as to what the Mystic Realm is.

The term Mystic Realm is an overall title for the gatherings. A title designed to be inclusive of various spiritual approaches to understanding the workings of the Spirit World.

4. Who are you to offer lessons on the Mystic Realm? I mean you might know what your all about but who else does? 

First off, I have been extensively involved in my own spiritual development for over 30 years. Anything that I may teach has been applied to my personal life with great results. I am an ordained minister as well as an initiated Priestess of the Akan Spiritual Tradition of Ghana West Africa. Anyone who knows me, knows that much about me. There are many facets to who I am on this plane, and for sure there is certainly many who do not know my many facets, no matter how close to me they may feel they are. The path that I am on, is not to be broadcast in its entirety to everyone for most folks would not even understand what I am talking about. In these discussions, I only wish to facilitate the expansion of each person's awareness, allowing their own soul inclinations to come forth and answer some questions for them that may be puzzling to them. The path towards Spiritual Consciousness and Awareness is full of many turns, ups and downs. So I am there to comfort them and bring as much understanding as I can to them with the help of the Most High. I am also a Mental Health professional, in the business for 20 years, and a pretty good one at that.

5. Why would I want to give you money? 

In the Spirit world, to give is to receive, so anyone who gives will be blessed with a gift in return. In reality, we live in a 3rd dimensional world, we pay for college, education, books, access to knowledge from a variety of sources. While we may be discussing the Unseen World, the Unseen World has a major impact on the seen world. Understanding that; we manipulate reality to manage and take care of our basic needs in this physicality. Also, I have to pay for the venue I am using for these talks, sir!

6. Why would I want to know about the mystic realm in the first place?

You, may or may not want to know. That is your choice. There is on obligation for you to come and learn. You have the free will to reject or accept it. This is not a business in the commercial sense. This is an apparatus, one of many, for spiritual growth and development. An apparatus to understand the Law of One and the meaning of why we are all here. It will bring some clarity to the Earth Changes we are experiencing and the dynamic spiritual times we are in. It is not a church, temple or place of worship. It is a sacred space based upon the idea of wanting to heal, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is an effort to unite with others in Oneness, Understanding, Wisdom and Knowledge about who we each are as individuals, where we come from and discovering our mission here on this planet.

7. These are not personal questions of mine. These are marketing questions for anyone who wants to start a business or is requesting money.

I have written several business plans in my day. I have been running my own business for many, many years.. I am aware of the need to have certain things in place, especially if you are asking for money. But this is not a commercial capitalistic business. In fact, this is simply the business of giving to others who may feel the need to know. It is a divine Mission that is and has been a part of my reality since the day I was born. It is a manifestation of my will/commitment to do what I have been asked to do by the Most High.
