Who Was Queen Mother Nanny?

Queen Mother Nanny of the Maroons was more than a historical figure—she was a revolutionary spirit, an embodiment of freedom, and a divine leader in human form.

Originally from the Ashanti people of West Africa, Nanny was captured and brought to Jamaica in chains, but her soul refused to be enslaved. She escaped captivity and rose into her destiny, becoming a spiritual leader, master strategist, and fearless general of the Maroon resistance.

She led uprisings, outwitted the British, and helped liberate over 800 enslaved people, creating a stronghold of freedom in the Jamaican Blue Mountains. Through her knowledge of African spiritual systems, herbal medicine, and guerrilla tactics, she became a living legend and national heroine, a flame that still burns in the bloodline of freedom fighters around the world.

Queen Mother Nanny’s Message for You:

Break free.
Your dreams hold the keys to your liberation. You are not meant to play small, stay silent, or live within someone else’s limitations. You are freedom herself, bold, divine, and sovereign.

Her presence reminds us that true liberation starts within. Your sacred rebellion is daring to imagine a life that reflects your truth, your joy, and your power.

Embodiment: How to Activate Her Energy Within You

  • Ask yourself: What have I accepted that is no longer aligned with my soul?
  • Honor your unspoken desires. The things you dream of in secret? That’s your freedom calling.
  • Use fire magic or candle rituals to burn away what holds you back—whether it’s fear, shame, or ancestral pain.
  • Speak life into your dreams. Say them out loud. Write them down. Embody them before they arrive.
  • Move your body freely. Dance, walk, or stretch as a declaration: “I am no longer in spiritual chains.”

Your life is your offering. Let it be bold. Let it be free.

Spiritual Practices to Honor Queen Mother Nanny

  • Altar Work: Place a red or gold candle, fresh water, and a map of Jamaica or Ghana. Add herbs like lemongrass, ginger, or African blue basil.
  • Crystal Allies: Carnelian, Fire Agate, Black Obsidian, and Garnet
  • Chakra Focus: Root + Solar Plexus for grounding and personal power
  • Mantra:
    “I am free. I break generational chains. I rise in my truth.”

Goddess Declaration:

“My dreams empower me.”

Say it. Live it. Let it radiate through every decision you make.

A Message from Nicole:

Goddess, if you’ve ever felt bound by fear, expectations, your past, or even your lineage, know that Queen Mother Nanny is walking with you. Her spirit lives in your rage and your resilience, in your vision and your voice.

You do not need permission to be powerful.
You are your ancestor’s answered prayer.
And the moment you choose yourself, you liberate more than just you.
