Ireland’s Bee Priestess

I became aware of the role of Bee Oracle through a being known as Gobhnait in Ireland. Gobhnait is the Irish patron saint of bees and beekeeping. Only a few traces of her story remain. It is said that she protected her village from the bubonic plague with her healing honey, and staved off invaders with swarms of bees.

Bee Priestesses were the devotees to the Great Mother, and practiced the sacred feminine arts. 

Herstory is still being written by the honeybees.
