Online Multimedia Meditation Experience and Reference on Kwaku Ananse
by nii.a.k (Allen Kwabena Frimpong) & MajikStar (Ty White)
Greetings Everyone,
You are now in the multimedia meditation experience for A Divination of Enjoyment. This is for those who are able to attend and want an additional experience leaving the exhibition or if you are not able to be in Accra to get a sense of the exhibition. This experience was chronicled as an almanac of nii.a.k and MajikStar’s divination work from 2020- 2024 synthesized into these key references, readings, and inquiries. Feel free to share responses at your leisure, if you feel moved to. We are now entering into the first divination reading that we are sending you below.
We are sharing this video if you want to learn more about the Akan cosmology, priests and priestesses. Minus the narration, it’s a pretty good primer on the akomfo (okomfo)

This next readings with prompts are below and you can reflect on them in your own time. In these bodies of work, Majik Star and I are reprising the stories of Ananse the Spider which at this point is a global folklore through our own spiritual divination practice from a set of divinations we did in 2020 through water and visualization practices.

Divine Reading 1
“I saw shadow people walking outside of a room, the room had a chair no one was sitting in it, but the shadow people walked around it, and then would be in a jubilee marching outside, in another vision they were in a maze amidst chaos. There were burning walls of the phoenix where the shadow people were walking out of into the hall, and another day I saw a holograph of butterfly and phoenix in the water…” nii.a.k
