Saturday, February 14, 2026 | From 10AM - 12 noon PST

Fire Horse Year Ritual and Practical Divination

Bwa Bwei are a pair of moon-shaped wooden blocks used to receive clear, directional insight. Some view it as a method to commune with the gods or ancestors, to gain favourable omens, or receive helpful warnings. It’s a practice of asking the right question, casting with respect, and learning how to recognize the answer when it arrives. Unlike Tarot, the I Ching, runes, or other more complex divinatory systems, Bwa Bwei offers immediacy and clarity rather than layered interpretation, making it especially suited for moments when you need to know whether to proceed, pause, or redirect.

Offered the Saturday before the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse, and coupled with flights of premium Chinese Teas for in-person attendees, this special edition of Magick of Tea is for those who are craving:

  • steadiness

  • clarity

  • a way to consult the unseen that feels grounded and uncomplicated

  • a divination practice that supports real-life decisions

  • a method that is rooted in Chinese (Daoist) lineage

  • spectacular, premium Taiwanese teas to enjoy in the company of other tea lovers!

What We’ll Do Together

Along with the spirit of Tea, you’ll learn how to work with Bwa Bwei as a living practice.

We’ll cover:

  • What Bwa Bwei is (and what it isn’t)

  • how to hold the tool properly, cast it, and record results

  • how to ask questions that yield usable guidance

  • how to interpret responses with nuance (while avoiding confirmation biases)

  • how to work with timing: when to act, when to wait, when to redirect

  • how to integrate Bwa Bwei into daily life as a steady companion in 2026

  • how to keep your practice clean: boundaries, respect, and energetic hygiene

You’ll leave with a repeatable method you can use when life speeds up or the terrain changes.

Why This Matters for the Fire Horse Year

Fire Horse years tend to amplify movement: more options, more impulses, more speed. When the pace quickens, people often either:

  • act too fast, or

  • freeze and overthink.

Bwa Bwei is an antidote to both. It gives you a way to pause without losing your place, and to move with steadiness when the moment is actually ripe.

What to Expect

  • Clear teaching and live demonstration of the Bwa Bwei practice

  • Guided practice rounds working directly with the Bwa Bwei

  • Space for questions, clarification, and troubleshooting

  • An intimate, grounded container focused on clarity and calm

  • Support from a curated selection of fine Chinese teas and their spirits throughout the session (in-person attendees only), including premium Taiwanese oolongs and black (red) teas chosen to call in the Fire Horse’s spirit, along with a caffeine-free herbal tisane option.

  • Mini spirit readings from Mimi for each participant (both in-person and live-stream)

  • Pen and paper

  • Your own Bwa Bwei moon blocks
    (A limited number are available for purchase at $55 USD + tax and shipping, or can be picked up by in-person attendees at the event. Please contact Mimi to inquire.)

“This morning’s Magick of Tea was so powerful and tender. I’m so grateful and amazed how you and Tea gently revealed shadows and energetic supports within the short 2 hour container. I am even grateful for the tears and re-connecting with memories and deeper meanings and symbolisms for healing and understanding.”
