Book A Shamanic Reading

The Difference Between Ritual and Routine

Apr 15

Written By Mimi Young

meaning of ritual — An interview with Sangre De Fruita

Earlier this spring, I sat down with Allison Audrey Weldon of Sangre de Fruta for a conversation about ritual, plant intelligence, and what it means to work with botanicals as beings rather than extracted ingredients. We touched on the difference between routine and ritual, how scent moves through the body before the thinking mind can intercept it, and what I'm actually listening for when I pour tea for someone.

The full interview is published on the Sangre de Fruta journal.

If you're on Bowen Island or nearby (it’s just 20 mins away by ferry), we're also hosting a Spring Scent Salon together at the Sangre de Fruta studio on May 9, the Saturday before Mother's Day. An afternoon of natural perfumery, Magick of Tea sittings, live harp, botanical cocktails and mocktails.

Following the plant spirits,

ABOUT MIMI

Hello! My name is Mimi Young, and I’m a Taiwanese Canadian psychic medium, occultist, and the founder of Ceremonie, servicing Vancouver to Toronto, LA to New York, and overseas, teaching occult studies, as well as providing dream interpretations and spirit guidance services. Being an inheritor of Gongfu Tea and a 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 Bazi - 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 am a regular presenter with the Salem Witch Fest . 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 responsible craft.
