This episode of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast welcomes back podcast co-founder Julienne Givot with her divine inspiration sparked from “Our Lady of Bees.”
What is asked of us as we encounter the world’s issues today? How can we feel that what we are doing is enough? These questions are addressed and answered with the immaculate symbolism of bees, the honeycomb, and the divine feminine presence inherent in all of us. What begins as a light-hearted tribute to the humble honey-maker unfolds into a deep meditation on community resilience, mental health, and sacred activism.
Julienne introduces us to Our Lady of the Bees—a spiritual embodiment of compassion, guidance, and collective strength. With humor, reverence, and a few irresistible puns, these soul sisters explore how bees can be a symbol of hope and healing in chaotic times. They speak to the urgency of swarming together in joyful resistance, the wisdom of the hive, and the radical act of choosing love over hate—even in the face of oppression.

This episode offers balm for weary spirits, a prayer for interconnectedness, and a gentle but fierce call to community. Whether you’re a mystic, a mother, an activist, or simply someone yearning for sweetness in a bitter world—this episode is for you.
Come for the puns, stay for the prophecy 🐝✨

For those of you hoping to see the screenshot I took of Julienne’s protest sign here it is! It was a wonderful synchronicity that we were in far away places from each other but had similar sign sentiments…
Well, I have certainly been helped by many other people. One of the good things is realizing that you are not a solitary cell. You are part of a wonderful community. That’s helped very greatly. As we were saying, if you are setting out to be joyful, you are not going to end up being joyful. You’re going to find yourself turned in on yourself. It’s like a flower. You open, you blossom, really because of other people. And I think some suffering, maybe even intense suffering, is a necessary ingredient for life, certainly for developing compassion.
