The Jiŋwarba House
Rooted in inheritance and initiation, guided by the ancestors and spirit.
The Foundation of the House
-
The Jiŋwarba House is a clan of Jiŋwara within ARC. In our emblem, a single white strand forms one ridge of ARC’s ancestral fingerprint and rises into flame. That ridge is our House. The code it carries is the work we are charged to do — protection, intervention, and restoration.
This work requires discipline, discernment, reciprocity, and respect — for spirit, for lineage, for community, and for the people who come to this House seeking guidance.
Integrity matters here. So does honesty.

My name is Kataali. My path began through Kali, a traditional practice from Northern Ghana. It deepened through my initiation into Jinwariba and my relationship with the Jinna — a powerful spiritual pantheon carried through lineage and spirit.
Today, I serve as Queen Mother of the Jiŋwara in North America. The Jiŋwarba House is my clan. I would not stand in this position without my ancestors, whose presence and guidance have remained central to my path.
I carry deep gratitude for my elders in Atlanta, Georgia, and Tamale, Ghana — Chief Montana, Chief Gbanzaba, Chief SaBaa Naa, and my Jinwara mother, Mma Saffiyah. Their wisdom and the spiritual guidance they have poured into me continue to shape how I show up in my community.
The Jiŋwarba House grew out of that inheritance, my initiation, and the responsibility I carry as Queen Mother. It is through this House that I carry forward what my elders have taught me and do the work I have been charged to do.

Not every issue begins in the physical. In fact, I’d argue that most, if not all, issues begin in the spiritual.
Through divination, dream interpretation, and spiritual guidance, we address unseen conditions that can affect a person, their household, or their path in life. We approach each matter individually, with discernment, honesty, and care.
The Offerings

At The Jiŋwarba House, each session begins with what brings you here. You may come with a question, an experience you want to understand, a concern, or a spiritual condition that needs attention. What you bring guides how we approach the session and what work is called for.
Our current offerings are listed below.

Jinwariba Divination is rooted in the traditional spiritual practices of Northern Ghana. Our relationship with the Jinna guides this work. You may come for clarity or spiritual guidance about a matter affecting you, your household, your relationships, your direction in life, or your spiritual condition.
Traditionally, Jinwariba work addresses spiritual unrest, misfortune, sickness, harmful interference, and conditions associated with witchcraft or other unseen spiritual disruption. Through divination, we seek to understand what is at work in the matter you bring and what response, if any, is called for.

Dreams can carry instruction, symbolism, warning, memory, or reflection.
You may come for dream interpretation when a dream keeps returning, carries spiritual significance, or leaves you with something heavy or unresolved. Together, we look at what you experienced and what has been difficult to interpret on your own.
