Beehive Blessing Ritual Candle

Beehive Blessing – Wax Temple of the Melissae (1.7 oz)

A hive of memory. A charm of sacred sweetness. A whisper of priestesses past.

Beehive Blessing is a 1.7 oz hand-sculpted ritual candle made from 100% pure beeswax, enhanced with a trace of coconut oil for burn consistency and color retention. Measuring just 1.5 inches tall and wide, this candle is small in size, but immense in magic. Shaped like a beehive and adorned with a tiny bee, it channels the ancient rites of the Melissae—the bee priestesses of the old gods.

Mythic Origins:

In Greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph credited with discovering and teaching the sacred use of honey. Her name means “bee,” and in time, her legacy was passed to the Melissae—priestesses of Demeter, Persephone, Artemis, and the Delphic Apollo. These women were considered divine messengers, carriers of purity, wisdom, and prophecy. In sacred rites, the buzz of the hive became the hum of oracles, midwives, and witch-mothers.

Across cultures, bees are sacred to goddesses like Austėja (Lithuanian protector of the hive) and Beyla (Norse spirit of earth and fertility). Bees were seen as emissaries between realms—bearers of light, fertility, divine order, and soul guidance.
