Takayu

I a Herbalists and Sacred Metaphysical Sister among other things….I was born and raised in the urban city of Newark NJ aka “The Brick City” in the year 1974. My mother came to America at the age of 19 from West Africa, Liberia to be exact. Several years later she met my dad , an and they wed. Despite my parent’s and family’s traditional religious beliefs, I decided at the age of 17 to venture out and connect with my birthright. My goddess given birthright of my ancient ancestral sciences that predate modern religious belief systems, this lead me to study metaphysics under several teachers from my late teens to mid twenties where I became a member of an Egyptian Mystic Order. It was during this period that I began to awaken to my true self. My true self meaning as an African American Woman of the Diaspora and a Priestess of the Order of Bast.
