The world of New Age, um, wisdom never fails to provide hours of harmless entertainment. Here (via a morning surfing Scott Burgess’ delightfully acerbic blog) is a web page dedicated to a clearly important piece of work previously unknown to me – The Shamanic Way of The Bee.

There you will find this: “In The Shamanic Way of the Bee the intriguing world of bee shamanism – the Path of Pollen – is revealed and explained as both a vital part of our heritage and a practical system of healing, wisdom and spiritual development. It is written as a marriage of ethnography and autobiographical memoir, detailing the true adventure story of his initiation into this ancient tradition. As with all new and unusual experiences, his immersion in a new world order and way of being was sometimes terrifying, sometimes exquisitely beautiful, and readers everywhere will be enchanted as they share his journey.”

Perhaps I should review it.
