SEALBHÓIR OLAIGH - The Myrraphores by any other Name

The written traditions and holy lineage of the oils can be traced back to the earliest temples of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Greece, ancient temples all over the world. Even art depicting the use of scent in sacred ceremonies appears on temple walls, showing the importance fragrance held in connection to the Divine.

Essences and heady fragrances were used to facilitate change in consciousness, in healing, blessing, anointing, offerings, meditation and prayer. Priests and Priestesses in the Temples, emissaries of the Gods and Goddesses, would use aromatic oils, incense and ointments as offerings to the Deities, to anoint initiates, to anoint statues and ritual objects, in supplication, praise, and in sacred ceremonies to ritually mark each of the passages through life and death.

The Goddess Isis was a Myrraphore, a bearer of Myrth, as was Mary Magdalene, probably the most well known Scent Priestess for her anointing of Yeshua.

The Priestesses of Artemis, Innana, Aphrodite and those of so many other ancient cultures were hailed as sacred medicine women. These women embodied a sacred role and facilitated the evolution of the soul through their knowledge of the oils for spiritual transformation, emotional and physical healing. They understood the profound ability of the oils which carry crystalline Light frequencies, to awaken, transform and transmute, and to facilitate the journey of the soul back to Divine origin.

When the Emperor Theodosius ordered the closure of the Pagan sanctuaries in the fourth century, the Roman Catholic church also placed a moratorium on the religious use of scent. Over time people forgot the bee priestesses, the Melissae, the Myrraphores, the Scent Shamans, the Priestesses, but the time honoured bees, the quintessential symbol of the Priestesses and the Temple, never stopped their work or remembering their ways. Now, two thousand years later, this knowledge returns to us.

Bees are regarded as sacred to Brighid, as evidenced in our earliest writings and folklore. In Celtic Mythology, bees were regarded as having great wisdom and acted as messengers between the worlds.

The Bee Priestesses have reached across time to inspire this course in which we emulate ancient Priestess practices and attune and align them with our own ancient Celtic and pre Celtic culture, our own Goddesses, our own indigenous plants and tree medicine, and our own ancient names for the Moons. This course aims to revive our forgotten knowledge and to bring it forth for modern day Priestess enlightenment.
