In Chinese cultures, Tea and the customs and ceremonies surrounding Tea go back before Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, to Chinese shamanism, otherwise known as Wuism. Mediums and other spirit workers would pick leaves in the mountains nearby temples, dry them, make them into tea, which were then used during meditation, divination, and sorcery. Tea as plant medicine and a tangible tool in spellcraft. Join animist spirit medium, Mimi Young of Ceremonie and engage with the Unseen through Tea not only as a plant that can be made into a sacred drink, but also as a tool in outer temple witchcraft spells. Relating with Tea animistically can invite us to reorganize energies, resulting in the release and activation of desirable change. Through tea-based witchcraft, we will increase our capacity for engagement with Mystery and magick, and participate in the interconnection of life.  All in-person attendees will experience the following O5 teas that hold energies suitable for spellcrafting. All ticket-holders will receive a $20 voucher to spend towards any O5 tea purchase totalling over $100, which online attendees can preorder for the event.

• Tang Dynasty Zisun Coin.  Bringing fire and ‘potion’ concepts. Including a video here for live-stream attendees.
• Darjeeling FF.  ‘Air’ feeling, influenced by the high altitude of the Himalayas. 
• Old Tree White Moonlight. This is a Yunnan White Tea from 2019, possessing a much ‘older’ spirit.  It is even reminiscent of aged Pu Er.

What to expect from April’s Magick of Tea:

• A guided Tea Sit to check in, deeply listen, and dialogue with our inner selves and spirit allies
• Learn how tea classification, colour, taste, and cha chi can influence magick, and how to select teas for spellwork.
• Engage hands-on in tea-based witchcraft, engaging TWO spells – in an activation spell and a spell for closure.
• Have the opportunity to share our experiences and questions with the group.
• Mimi will also share mini spirit readings for each ticket holder (in-person and live-stream).
• Be held by a selection of Tea and their spirits, both physically and energetically throughout this session.

“These Saturday morning offerings are so precious to me and have had such an impact ever since I started attending in the late Summer or early fall last year. You hold space in such a way that I imagine every person in the room feels welcomed and valued, I know I do.” — Sarah Trivett “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.” — Mona Stilwell

THE MAGICK OF TEA SERIES

In the beginning, Tea was used in ritual offerings, eaten as a vegetable, and drank as physiological and spirit medicine. From an animist perspective, Tea displays a rich connection to Earth, spirit communication, divination, and magick. Being the plant medicine of choice by many eastern mystics, Tea wields energy – visible and invisible – and helps one find their place in life. Join animist-occultist and spirit communicator, Mimi Young of CEREMONIE for in-person and live-stream, intimate group sessions in the sanctuary of O5 TEA for a guided esoteric tea experience. Return to a sense of stillness, restore inner-regulation, and experience deep communion with Tea as a Plant Teacher and Spirit Ally. In each Magick of Tea event, expect a weaving of:

• A curated fine tea tasting from O5’s collection, selected to showcase its flavourful and esoteric properties (in-person attendees only; online attendees will have a chance to pre-purchase)
• Channeled Tea messages / other divinatory messages for the group
• Animist-shamanic wisdom that corresponds to the key energy of the event
• A guided Tea Spell and/or other ritual
• Opportunities to share, (re)connect, and grow your spiritual family

This is an intimate hybrid event, with 10 spots available for in-person, and 10 spots available via Zoom (with replay).
