To “Tell the Bees” is considered an ancient practice, traced as far back as Hellenistic Greece, perhaps even earlier. Hives and bees were an important part of life as honey and beeswax were valuable goods - beeswax provided a clean burning material for candles to bring light into small dark places - an apt metaphor for lighting the way in dark times and dark spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe oracle site at Delphi was said to have been created by bees; even the Pythia were referenced as 'bee oracles'. While much has been written about how the Pythia's trance-like states were induced, one possible theory links their prophecy to the consumption of 'mad honey.' Known in Turkey as \u003cem\u003edeli bal \u003c\/em\u003ewhere it was ( and is ) harvested, and \u003cem\u003emeli chloron \u003c\/em\u003eor 'green honey' in Ancient Greek times, it behaves as a psychoactive, due to bees feeding on native \u003cspan\u003erhododendron plants\u003c\/span\u003e. In small doses in can bring on feelings of euphoria, intoxication and hallucinations, in larger doses it causes a variety of unpleasant symptoms and in rare cases, death. The poison is in the dosage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe practice of Telling the Bees, involved all major life events, keeping them included as one would with any other close family member. They were told of marriages, births, \u0026amp; perhaps most well known, deaths. The hives were heaved up at the same time the coffin was, and they were also decorated with funerary crepes. Cakes were also fed to the bees after funerals and weddings. It was believed that if a hive was not told of these life events, they would leave the hive, or even die. I like to think people would whisper secrets to the hives they could tell no one else, making the bees secret keepers. In the vein of this idea, use this talisman for your secrets, whisper them to it and bring it 'alive' as a companion for secret keeping.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Details*:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 34 mm from top to bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 36 mm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Both pendant and chain are hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 10 mm fine cut \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehexagon \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003epurple labradorite stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Seen on Miguel at 20 inches and paired with the Bee ring found here\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurple Labradorite:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabradorite with a ‘full range’ of colors, including purple, has also been called ‘Spectrolite’ ~ though over the years these more colorful iterations have been given many other names depending on the range of colors captured in the specific cuts we’ve been able to source. Sometimes they are called ‘Sunset Labs’ for the way they appear to hold the melting colors of the setting sun - pinks and lavenders as well as even hints of flaming reds and deep purples, are all married within one stone. Other stones under the name ‘Belladonna’ (which is my personal nickname ) vary from the purples of wet oyster shells to the pale lavender of the petals of belladonna flowers - each stone is unique and carries within it its time underground - where under pressure, its glorious colors bloomed within. Interestingly, it’s light that enables its range of colors to be reveled - turning it in the light, while on the finger or in ones hand - creates a kind of ‘shapeshifting’ effect - the internal fractures and layers within the stone allow for different colors within the stone shift, flash, and to reveal themselves differently. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges.
