Way of the Melissae
Way of the Melissae - Honey Bee Priestess
Original Watercolour Painting by Roberta Orpwood
Shamanic Medicine Watercolour Painting Process of The Honey Bee Priestess - Way of the Melissae
In this shamanic medicine painting process video, you will experience the honeyed wisdom of this Priestess, also a wise grandmother figure as she finds her colours, her shape and form. This is a watercolour video which includes real-time and timelapse sections for those of you who are curious about the art process of my watercolour paintings, whilst we may all enjoy the medicinal sounds of @LarimarSoundAlchemy as you to relax and welcome inspiration through ear, eye and shamans heart.
This painting was originally created in honour of one of the most powerful Spirit allies I have crossed paths with. When she arrived in my life, there were clear and spoken words uttered - a riddle to contemplate:
I AM THE HIVE AND THE HIVE IS ME
May her honeyed warm glow bless your heart for this day and your days to come.
