Embracing Your Darkness: Trusting Your Magic and Your Voice

The following is an article transcribed from a conversation between myself (Mimi Young) + June "Jumakae" Kaewsith of Your Story Medicine Podcast; the episode "Embracing Your Darkness: Trusting Your Magic and Your Voice". Main topics discussed included why embracing our darkness is just as important as embracing our light; freeing yourself from the anti-aging culture, and stepping into a pro-aging lifestyle; and how to use dreams to explore dormant parts of ourselves. (Note, since this originally was a verbal interview, some of the text may have been lost / mis-edited in the transcription. I provide a link to the podcast at the end of this article).

ABOUT MIMI

Hello! My name is Mimi Young, and I’m a Taiwanese Canadian animist spirit medium, occultist, and the founder of Ceremonie, servicing Los Angeles to New York and Vancouver to Toronto, teaching occult studies, as well as providing dream interpretations and spirit guidance services. Being an inheritor of Gongfu Tea and trained artist-designer, my work also incorporates the esoteric art of Tea and culture.

My mystery school combines animist folk magic with Taoist principles, offering occult courses on light and shadow spell work, divination (including cartomancy, the I Ching, and Chinese astrology), psychic development, necromancy, and witches retreats. I also operate an online magic shop carrying handcrafted magic supplies and ritual tools, including conjure oils, ritual incense, and Aura Mists to aid in protection spells, money spells, and return to sender (to name a few). Ceremonie’s Skin Care line is designed with occult science principles to enhance psychic sensitivities while leaving your skin moisturized, balanced and radiant.

I collaborate with brands such as goop and the Salem Witch Festival, and am also a poet, SEO copywriter and business strategist, and stylist. Based in Vancouver on the ancestral traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, Ceremonie gratefully serves a global community, while remaining rooted in animist, decolonizing perspectives and intersectionality.
