Naiya Taylor is the founder of Herban Mystic — a mystical business education platform blending astrology, herbalism, and creative strategy into practical transformation for modern seekers and builders.

A poet by training and a strategist by practice, Naiya approaches mysticism as infrastructure: tools for sovereignty, rituals that fit real life, and frameworks that honor lineage without dogma. Her work centers Afrocentric wisdom traditions while remaining accessible to a global audience hungry for depth without dependency.

Before founding Herban Mystic, Naiya spent years studying the intersections of astrology, herbalism, and creative practice — not as escape, but as anchors for navigating capitalism, motherhood, and the messy work of building a life that feels like yours. She doesn't do guru energy. She lights the match; you do the work.

The Work

Naiya's approach is grounded in what she calls devotion without dogma — mysticism that builds inner authority rather than spiritual dependency. Through the Prosperity Portal (HM's membership core), private portals, and the For Mystics Only editorial platform, she creates containers for self-aware people to integrate shadow, skill, and service without bypassing the hard parts.

Her work has been shaped by teachers across disciplines — from Bruce Bynum's Dark Light Consciousness and Brother Panic's occult lectures to the speculative world-building of Octavia Butler and the contemplative essay traditions of Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison — and she credits her lineage openly in HM's Archives.

Beyond Herban Mystic

Naiya is a single mother, a sobriety journey walker, and a believer in Temple thinking: fewer, higher-quality investments that last decades. She's currently building HM's physical headquarters in Georgia while transitioning toward full entrepreneurial independence by late 2026.

When she's not architecting mystical infrastructure, she's writing about founder strategy and prosperity work at Get Rich With Nai (GRWN) — her unfiltered founder transparency platform.
