It was also used as an offering to gods such as Ra and Horus, who are both associated with the sun. In Ancient Greek mythology honey was seen as a symbol of immortality; it was given to Heracles when he descended into Hades to retrieve Cerberus’s three heads.
Similarly, in Norse mythology Freya gave Odin a drink mixed with mead—a type of fermented beverage made from honey—in order to make him immortal. The Bible also references honey several times: when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt they found manna on the ground which tasted like wafers made with honey (Exodus 16:31).
For thousands of years women have been using honey medicinally for its healing powers. This natural wonder has been used to treat wounds, sore throats, digestion issues, skin ailments such as psoriasis and eczema, colds and flu symptoms among other conditions.
To this day scientists are still trying to understand why exactly the bee’s magical creation of honey works so well for medicinal purposes . A popular theory is that its high sugar content draws moisture away from bacteria making it difficult for them to survive. Yet one thing remains certain: that its healing power has been recognized by cultures all over the world since antiquity.
In addition to being seen as a symbol of health and wellness, there are many other meanings attributed to honey across different cultures throughout history: love and fertility due to its sweet taste; wealth and prosperity because bees make so much of it. Plus, wisdom because ancient scholars would use metaphors involving bees or beekeeping activities when teaching students about life lessons.
Patience due diligence required in harvesting it; loyalty due bees’ unwavering commitment towards their hives’ collective good. Transformation because bees take nectar from flowers transforming them into sweet syrup-like substance through enzymatic processes.
The amazing symbolism behind this golden liquid may vary depending on where you look, but one thing remains constant: that throughout time humans have viewed this natural product as something special. Honey is totally worthy of a tattoo.
Whether you see it simply as food source or something more meaningful, you can certainly agree that sweet rewards come after hard work. (Or pain, if you’re willing to get a tattoo girl!)
