FINDING I CHING CLARITY:
A Path Through Structure and Spirit
Live-stream with recordings
On-going to 2028
12 sessions in Form; optional second 12 sessions in Spirit, or join the full 24-month mentorship.
The I Ching Book of Changes can be many things at once. It’s a practical tool for decisions: to diagnose, to spot patterns, and to guide your next steps. It’s a rhythm for timing that helps you sense when conditions favour action or restraint. It’s a container for ethical and relational practice. Its commentary, the Xi Ci, frames optimal action so your readings lead to better choices for everyone involved. Intuition and clarity that keeps divination relatable, grounded and useful.
SALEM WITCH FEST
Yin & The Negative Space:
Daoist Approaches to Necromancy
Wednesday, August 19 at 1PM PST / 4PM EST
Live-stream via Salem Witch Fest
Western magical traditions tend to structure necromantic work through invocation, hierarchy, and visible action. Daoist cosmology operates on a different logic entirely.
Within this framework, Yin governs negative space, residue, enclosure, delay, and descent. Contact with the dead unfolds through ancestral momentum, altered timing, and lingering presence rather than command or display. Continuity between the living and the dead moves through resonance and cycles of return.
This class examines Yin as a governing function and how necromantic influence travels through thresholds, intervals, and interiourity. Practical attention goes to spell structure, ancestor engagement, and resistance work, with particular focus on when withdrawal, delay, and enclosure are more effective than force.
Suited to practitioners trained in direct invocation or assertion who sense those approaches do not always serve this kind of work. No existing tradition needs to be abandoned; the tools offered here integrate into what you already practice.
Samhain Necromancy: Yin Rites of Bones
Friday, October 30 from 6-8 PM PDT
Live-stream, with recording
In this two hour e-gathering, we'll work through the doctrine of Jing and marrow, the history of oracle bone divination and ritual art, moving into a guided writing and spiritual practice. Led by occultist and psychic medium, Mimi Young.
Near Samhain, when the veil thins and the dead draw near, bone rises to the surface of the season, past the costume and the decoration, toward what classical Daoist medicine calls Jing: the deep, inherited essence stored in the bones, passed down the lineage whether tended or not. Spiritually, you'll likely leave this session with a deeper and re-animated sense of what you inherited through your bones.
MANY HANDS RETREAT:
A Craft Camp for Making & Being Made, Together
A 5-day witchy arts + crafts retreat for making things in company
November 23-27, 2026
Bowen Island, BC
Many Hands is a five-day arts and crafts retreat for people who create and practice and carry a great deal, and who are ready to set some of it down for a few days in the company of others doing the same. It is held at Nectar Retreat Centre on Bowen Island, BC, a 20-minute ferry from Vancouver.
Across the retreat, we move through hand embroidery, relief printing, bookbinding, and decorated stationery, alongside assembling the Charms Box, which runs as the ongoing thread of the whole five days. Each person contributes to every Charms Box in the room. What you leave with is part cabinet of curiosities, part keepsake, part ritual object, filled by people who made things with you specifically in mind.
Winter Solstice E-Gathering: Yin Rites of Dark Matter
Sunday, December 20, 2026
from 6–8 PM PDT*
Live-stream with recording
The winter solstice (this year on December 22) marks the year's most complete dark, older and vaster than the Wiccan Yule celebrations. This darkness, read by both Daoists and astrophysicists, is anything but empty. What Daoists call xiantian Yin and physics calls dark matter is the same claim; Yin as the majority of the universe's mass, invisible yet present everywhere, confirmed by decades of converging evidence.
One of her most popular seasonal e-gathering, Mimi Young, occultist and psychic medium, walks through the Daoist and astrophysical case for the primordial Yin before her contact with Yang. Expect also rigourous guided discussion, revelatory writing, and ritual.
WRONG: Yin Rites as Heretic, Villain & Perverse
8 weeks starting Monday, January 18, 2027
Live-stream with recording
An eight-week creative writing, rites, and media study tracing Yin, shadow, and various types of wrongness, including Heretic, Villain, Monster, Revenge, Bane, Perversity, Pollution, Evil.
WRONG doesn't argue the charge was wrong. What the series explores instead is the historical machinery behind each charge, an invitation into animacy with the Yin: to reclaim identity, make new myths, and engage in magical technologies.
“Mimi Young believes there’s a powerful creative current running through us… Learn how to tap into that energy.”
