Bee Priestess Collection - collaboration with The British MuseumGold Plated Brass Set with Lapis Lazuli & Lab Grown OpalIn the ancient Aegean civilization of Greece, the bee goddess held a sacred role as the ethereal link between the mortal realm and the realm of nature, serving as the emblem of the goddess Potnia. Within the ancient Minoan civilisation of Greece, bees embodied the symbolism of female sovereignty, while the priestesses of the revered oracle site at Delphi were hailed as the "bees." In the epic poems of Homer, the divine gift of prophecy bestowed upon Apollo traced its origins to the mystical realm of the "bees," for it was from that domain that the renowned bee mother goddess Thriae emerged, renowned and revered.
