Description

Bees and the Ancient Mysteries by Iwer Thor Lorenzen explores the intriguing parallels between the workings of a bee colony and ancient cultic mysteries. This unique study delves into the relationship between the queen and worker bees, drawing comparisons with the spiritual 'group-soul' of the bees. Lorenzen begins his investigation by examining the common origins of flowers and insects, before describing the evolution of the honeybee from its connection with the fig wasp. He reveals how this sacred transformation took place in pre-historic mystery-centres, where initiates developed the ability to commune with the bees' group-soul. This concise yet rich work features an illuminating foreword by Heidi Herrmann of the Natural Beekeeping Trust and a lucid introduction by translator Paul King that explains the anthroposophical concepts employed by Lorenzen.
