Aaron’s Quest for Mead
For almost two decades, Aaron has been on a quest to restore the proper use of this majikal elixir used since ancient times for ritual, ceremony, initiation, healing, and transformation. It is a gift from nature, lost during the last centuries of suppression. It’s time to remember!
What is a Magic Mead Ceremony?
During this ceremonial gathering, Aaron will blend together ancient and modern mystical traditions to bring an activating experience to participants. Each participant is offered some mead to bless and drink. Various blessings, invocations, & prayers are spoken into the circle to call forth wisdom, healing, and insights for all those gathered. We invoke the sacred power of the mead as a symbolic representation as liquid light of consciousness being taken in as a sacrament of sweetness and joy of life. It acts as a sacred key to awaken the dormant and ancient mysteries within us ~ the ancient parts of us that remember the sacred drink of Divine Light.
Participants are then invited to go into a meditative position (sitting or laying). They are guided on an inner Spirit Journey to work with the magic of the mead. The combination of the prayers, energetic field held by the ceremony guides, and the mead assist each individual to clear and reclaim more of their eternal light.
Afterward, dancing and movement are encouraged for embodiment and biological incorporation of the experience received during the ceremony.

Ancient Mead Texts
“I have tasted the sweet drink of life, knowing that it inspires good thoughts and joyous expansiveness to the extreme, that all the gods and mortals seek it together, calling it honey.When you penetrate inside, you will know no limits(…)We have drunk the Soma; we have become immortal; we have gone to the light; we have found the gods.(…)The glorious drops that I have drunk set me free in wide space.(…)Weaknesses and diseases have gone; the forces of darkness have fled in terror. Soma has climbed up in us, expanding. We have come to the place where they stretch out our life-spans.The drop that we have drunk has entered our hearts, an immortal inside mortals”
Rig Veda (8.48)
In Norse mythology, the Poetic Mead or Mead of Poetry (Old Norse skáldskapar mjaðar), also known as Mead of Suttungr (Suttungmjaðar), is a mythical beverage that whoever “drinks becomes a skald or scholar” (with the ability) to recite any information and solve any question.
Wikipedia
“…. the offering of precious mead usually takes a central part in the Edda initiation stories. The mead itself appears to be a source of inspiration, magical power and knowledge/wisdom to the poet, the sage and the king. It is always served by a female entity after trials in the realm of death, leading to transformation and resurrection.”

What is Mead?
Mead is an ancient drink made from fermented honey. It has some similarities to wine, yet it is its own category of drink. Whereas most alcoholic drinks are made from one specific plant, mead is made from honey, which is the essence of flower nectars that have been alchemized by the bees. It carries a different frequency or energy in it, thus a slightly different experience when drinking. There are many variations, including mixing in other natural flavors and spices, that range from sweet to dry, light to rich.
What does Mead do?
Mead seems to have the following effects:
- Calming the mind and body.
- Begins to clear energetic dross or denser energies from the body.
- Begins to open the heart channels, opening more joy, happiness, and connection.
- Accentuates the pleasure centers in the center, acting as an aphrodisiac.
- Carries the medicinal and mystical properties of honey and bee magic.
- Stimulates inner visionary capacities, engaging multi-dimensional awareness.
- Re-Connecting us with the love and power of the Goddess & Gaia (Earth).
- Enhances the experience of other ceremonial sacraments.
- Opens Bee Magic.
Mead’s
Story
There are records of mead going back at least 9000 years! It is found in ancient spiritual texts and mythologies including Asia, India, Egypt, Europe, Australian Aborigines, and even a form of it was drunk by the Mayans. While often drank for celebrations, holidays, etc. it was held sacred and spiritual purposes in many cultures. It was often associated with royalty, immortality, resurrection, supernatural intelligence, magical powers, aphrodisiac, spiritual visions, and much more. It also was often used as forms of medicine as it maintains all the benefits of honey and can be infused with other herbs and spices. There are many ancient rites of passage, initiations, and traditions where mead was given to an individual stepping into a position of power (such as Kingship). Bees and their honey are sacred in many cultures around the world as messengers from the Gods/Goddesses. They are carriers of Divine codes.
Not Your Normal Drink
Mead, the majikal elixir for the soul! For many, the drinking of alcohol brings stirs the ideas of a dissociated intoxication. Many use alcohol to inhibit limitations, suppress emotions, and disconnect from their current reality. Surprisingly with the amount of damage most alcohol does to the body and mind, it’s a popular part of modern culture.
Mead itself, particularly when properly encoded by an elven wizard…activates a different experience in the body, mind, and spirit. For it carries the essence, the spirits of, honey and flowers. It is the sweetness of nature carried via the sacred bees. Throughout folklore, it was used as a remedy for many things, as well as an elixir to connect with and channel the divine. It’s no wonder this sacred drink was woven into many ancient mythologies and legends as the drink of the gods. It restores them, and expands their majik, is nourishes the universe itself!
In our journey together, you’ll experience this sacred drink in a way that actually allows you MORE connection with yourself, with life, and with all aspects of YOU!

Previous Problems with Alcohol?
When offering these Majikal Mead Ceremonies, the big question I often get
“I don’t drink anymore. I’ve had problems in the past with alcohol; should I attend?”
Well, as the Elven Wizard likes to say, “Just because you fell into a thicket of poison ivy and rolled around in it for a while doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop and smell a flower down the path.”
While Mead is technically a form of alcohol, there are several key differences I’ve observed. One is that Mead itself is the essence of honey, which is the nectar of flowers alchemized by bees. This is a very different base and energetic quality than the spirit of a singular plant such as hops, grapes, barley, etc.
For me and those I’ve shared it with, the experience is very different as well. Instead of creating a more dissociative effect and suppression of feelings, it actually allows the energy of emotions to be alchemized and applied through the expression of the heart. Hence the title “The Mead of Poetry” allows what is stored away to be put to creative expression. Within the ceremonial context, I’ve expanded as I weave a multitude of techniques to connect you to your heart and spirit while partaking of the sacred elixir. This allows you to engage with your inner challenges from a new perspective with more light, joy, awareness, and love so that you can optimize what is within you and rise to a new level of creative potential.
On modern society, many drink alcohol as an escape mechanism from the trials of life. In this experience, we partake of the sacred need to call forth more of your eternal nature into your body. It is an invitation to your Spirit so that you can live life to the fullest and savor the sweetness that is here for you. I imagine that is why it is called the “Drink of the Gods” as it invites that divine aspect of yourself to come be here now. You actually become more engaged, more inspired, more courageous, more empowered.
On a physical level, after drinking your standard alcohol, most people experience various physical symptoms (headaches, stomachaches, hangovers, etc.). I have never felt any discomfort from drinking (quality) mead, nor has anyone reported such things to me. I’ve witnessed people relieving stomach aches, migraines, and other ailments that they were feeling before drinking mead.
Many attendees of my ceremonies who had previous struggles with alcohol in the past reported to me how amazing this experience was to help them rewrite their experience with alcohol, and they received a lot of inner healing through the experience.
So I invite you to explore this drink of the Gods as you will.
