The Power of Shamanic Love

The Bee Pollen I purchased is colorful and sweet and tastes a bit like hay. I like having it in a jar to look at...it stirs up happy emotion. Bee happy!

Weeks ago I included bee photos on Hank and Jill's article on my website. Little did I know that the book The Shamanic Way of the Bee would be entering my life. What is this underlay and overlay? Seems like a riddle...a ley line running its course. It's as if there is a subtle intelligence at work in our lives that is of under ground and of higher ground with this reality in the middle. When the three align...it's a full circle of wonder. Such magic rounds out this dimension.

The book connects me with Pan as "Vitamin Pan." A full circle experience as Pan was my first door into Goddess realm many years ago. "Vitamin Pan" won't mean anything to anyone who has not experienced this enchantment. There is no reading from books or hearing about Pan that will give one "Vitamin Pan." Enchantment is experiential not intellectual.

The Queen Bee:
"The women within the Path of Pollen are fully empowered. ...In fact, it is their power that gives birth to all things: sexuality, emotion, mind, body and spirit. Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge, for we are honey gatherers of the mind."

The Bee Mistress:
"You are aware that to our forebears, honey was deemed to be divine. The priestesses of Eleusis were known as Melissae, and their temple was known as the beehive. Within the Path of Pollen, the temple, the beehive, denotes a Melissa's body. The honeycomb signifies that which is interior to the physical, the alchemical body, in which is created the choicest nektars and aromas of earthly experience. The bee and Melissae carry into the hive what lives in the flower. If you reflect on this, you will unlock the secret we carry. The living element of this sexual power that is spread all over the flower is also contained within the honey the bee creates. What does this honey do? It creates sensual pleasure, upon the tongue in particular, and when imbibed, it creates a circuit of force between sexual power, mind, and emotion. Furthermore, because the bee is influenced most of all by cosmic forces, by communing with the bee, the entire cosmos can find its way into human beings, assisting them in stepping into who they truly are, before they were told who they were meant to be by their parents, their schooling, their culture."


This power of the Bee can also be the power of the tree, the water, the eagle, the turtle, etc. (At least that's what's coming through for me.) All it takes is attention and love for these beings. The ritual and work that goes with being a Bee Shaman is incredible. To offer so much devotion and love to an aspect of creation is
true prayer and worship.
