Being Seen Isn't the Same as Being Known
Severance is a loss of felt obligation to something outside the individual self, re-animation understands spirit as relational rather than personal, and treats community as the intersection where accountability, and by extension repair and healing, gets to happen. Mimi Young discusses how the loss of animacy relates to the loss of intuition, and what to do to regain relationship.
A Quick I Ching Reading on Hexagram 24
The I Ching (Yi Jing) is the shamanic oracle of Chinese antiquity, also called the Book of Change. A collection of 64 change archetypes, manipulations and play arrangements in schematic form, it's one of the oldest surviving forms of divination. I say divination rather than fortune-telling, as the latter tends to suggest deities or other powers that control our human fates, whereas, in my experience as an animist medium and conjurer that it's more about change unfolding according to each situation's principles, and that all things in the process of change are connected. This allows us to determine our exact position in the unfolding process, understand who or what it will impact, and proceed with confidence in our predictions. The I Ching emphasizes probability, analyzing conditions, and envisioning actions to shape desired outcomes or avert dangers. In this way, divining becomes a form of innovation, blending creativity with technical analysis.
