Pressestimmen
"Simon Buxton's much-awaited debut is set to revolutionize the way we see European native traditions. This is a compelling read with elegantly chosen words that convey complex spiritual truths in a beautifully simple way. The Shamanic Way of the Bee promises to become a shamanic classic."
Kurzbeschreibung
Bee shamanism may well be the most ancient and enigmatic branch of shamanism. It exists throughout the world - wherever, in fact, the honeybee exists. Its medicinal tools - such as honey, pollen, propolis and royal jelly - are now in common usage and even the origins of Chinese acupuncture can be traced back to the ancient practice of applying bee stings to the body's meridians. In this authoritative ethnography and spiritual memoir, Simon Buxton, an elder of the Path of Pollen, reveals for the first time the richness of this tradition: its subtle intelligence; its sights, sounds and smells; and its unique ceremonies, which, until now, have been known only to initiates. Buxton unknowingly took his first steps on the Path of Pollen at age nine, when a neighbour - an Australian bee shaman - cured him of a near-fatal bout of encephalitis. This early contact prepared him for his later meeting with an elder of the tradition who took him on as an apprentice. Following an intense initiation that opened him to the mysteries of the hive mind, Buxton learned over the next 13 years the practices, rituals and tools of bee shamanism. He experienced the healing and spiritual powers of honey and other bee products, including the "flying ointment" once used by mediaeval witches, as well as ritual initiations with the female members of the tradition the Mellisae - and the application of magico-sexual "nectars" that promote longevity and ecstasy. "The Shamanic Way Of The Bee" is a rare view into the secret wisdom of this age-old tradition.

The first half of the book is good and interesting, the second half drifts into sex phantasies. As beekeeper I cannot understand, how someone pretends to be able to follow a bee, when she flies to a feeding source - at least mine would fly way too fast!

From shamanic visions to cheap romance novel
5. November 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book starts out very nicely. Good background on the authors life as it relates to the subject. Nice writing style overall in the beginning. Along with the meeting of the bee master and wisdom flowing like honey. The novice undergoes the 23 day hibernation/initiation transported by visions of transformation into the mind of the bee and the hive.
Then the story falls apart.
After the initiation the initiate meets the bee mistress and her enchanting apprentices. At this point the writing becomes chaotic and you end up with people smearing our heros naked body with honey so he can have some kind of ritualized sexathon with one (or more) of the bee mistresses.
This story had great promise but literally fell apart half way through. I consider it either a misguided set of sex fiction or a really weird sex cult. Too bad.
If you are looking for a book on genuine Shamanic experience then try Jungle Medicine by Connie/Constance Grauds. That is a potent, powerful, and poetic prose.

an amazing initiation into bee magic
23. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This is my second book on shamanism I have read and I was prodded to read this book by bees. I was in a book shop about to put it back on the shelf when a large bee sound in my ear shocked me so much I had to look around the book store looking for the bee. So I followed this nudge from the bee and bought the book. I have not been dissapointed not only has it been beatifully written it has enlightened me on some other things that have been happening in my spiritual pathway so far, so much so I was astonished at how amazing inspired reading can be. If you are interested in shamanism, interested in shamanism within the UK and interested in bee magic this book is for you. I look forward to his new book coming out this year on the serpent flight of the honey bee.

Powerful, poetic and potent
31. Januar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As both a beekeeper and a shamanic practitioner I was amazed and delighted by this book, as it confirmed so much that I had intuitively realised through my shamanic practice and my work with bees over many years.
Other than Martin Prechtel (author of Teachings of the Talking Jaguar) I can't think of any other author of shamanism who writes so eloquently on the subject, and the intelligence, poetry and wisdom of the `Path of Pollen' that Buxton writes about radiates from every page.
Whilst this book is shamanically accurate in aspects of presentation, ritual and belief it is in many ways more about the authors teacher - a Welsh `Bee Master' - than the author himself, and furthermore is the most exquisite eulogy to the honeybee I've ever come across. The book is almost scriptural in its resonance's whilst at the same time is as gripping as a thriller, to the point that I read it in a single sitting, which is unusual for me. I'm now going over it more slowly and am uncovering some of its many layers. My only criticism? It wasn't long enough!
I also notice that an earlier review comments on the use of smoke within bee-keeping, careful readers of this book will note that Simon Buxton's teacher never uses smoke with the hives.
