The Dream Practices of the Melissae of the Ancient Mediterranean with Gabriela Gutierrez

On todays episode I talk with Gabriela Gutierrez, an independent scholar and practitioner of oracular arts and shamanism. She is an initiate in a lineage of European bee shamans in Britain, Lithuania and Eastern Europe. It dates back to the temples of the bee priestesses in Ancient Greece. The bee priestesses there are known as the Melissae, and The Pollen Method is the form of healing they used, passed down from woman-to-woman. We also talk about: How at the heart of this tradition is the veneration of the feminine principle What this ancient form of energy medicine is, in essence The 2 distinguishing features of the pollen method The revival of something ancient within us all Learn the 4 pillars of the feminine way Who were the Melissae temple priestesses & what they practiced Why bees are the main animal allies of the feminine principle The highest teaching the Melissae worked towards Gabriella Gutierrez on https://www.instagram.com/honeyed.ways/ (Instagram) | https://www.thevirtualtemple.net/ (Website) “They are lovers, the soul and the body”  —Gabriela Gutierrez
