The Secret Menu
One recorded class a month, each on an operation from the Index. Members send questions, answered in the next class, and every monograph after garlic goes to members only.
$75 CAD a month + tax. The first 20 members keep that rate. Cancel any time.
One to one
Divination Coaching
Mahjong tiles or tarot, read with mediumship, 60 minutes on Zoom. Bring the decision. You leave with the read, the path that fits it, and a practice to work afterward.
$175 CAD + tax. Wherever you are.
Commissioned
Ritual Work
Protection and cleansing, ancestor work, deity petition and offering, from the Tangmi, Daoist and Wu lineages. Every commission begins with a divination session, and not every request is taken.
From $1,500, quoted before anything begins.
