Episode 2 | Part 2: Visible Darkness

Hi there, Here is part 2 of Visible Darkness! Please enjoy while we puke and scream from anxiety! Part 2 follows on directly from the end of Part 1 with Marie finishing giving you the official Path of Pollen lore as delivered to her in 2023 by Ariella Daly and her notes from several interviews with both Simon Buxton and Naomi Lewis, over many years at The Sacred Trust. We discuss who the faculty actually was for better understanding and we also circle back to tell the story of the day Chelsy first spoke about the “first round” of plagiarism in The Shamanic Way of the Bee on social media (links to all the story highlights below), the aftershocks, and the first statement we received from Simon. We end with the introduction of a woman who offers to facilitate the Zoom call interview with Chelsy and Simon. It’s too early to form opinions about whether we should be saying all this- so hold on- because after the next special episode (which will leave us horizontal with angst and The Fear) we cover the zoom call and the subsequent, explosive discovery that has made everything else this far seem like peanuts. You’ll probably change how you feel about it all twice an episode. We laugh and joke quite a bit as we're getting through all of this- because we have to. The truth is it was all and still is  painful and sometimes infuriating- but man, have we learned a lot. We’ve left all posturing, concerns about whether we can sell you something later, and breath-y , spiritual good-girl, sing-songy ways of speaking at the door. Please continue to write in with comments and history. If you’d like to be interviewed later in the series- let us know!My Instagram Story Highlights 2023Start: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18006746200889506/Part 2: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18062153104423903/(more highlights there)2015 Secret Plagiarism (Steiner, etc)https://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/plagiarism-of-modern-or-living-authors.htmlYou can see a screenshot of the statement briefly put on the website in 2023 here:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQFs-R9tG3TEqt9-8iBBhJZbjOqrVR0IBhYcfHfYYwTE5ZsWyw6N5kIqcGrZ09_Tv0AZF7V_ehLVlw_OXBBs457tlgvVpZVkPt3Y_gHN95w25iWLB8jQnqIj0gpMNyh9ECDbIo1FkXYEP2QAIG_7NVDpe1cuUP0eC5kWEy7-as4pmeVH9J-zxjwt-8CuUa/s1600/PHOTO-2026-05-12-17-43-57.jpgScriptus Gydja Reviewhttps://scriptus.gydja.com/the-shamanic-way-of-the-bee-simon-buxton/Pollen Path & Ritual Deer Hunthttps://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-pollen-path-indigenous-appropriation.htmlMarie Lloyd’s Substackhttps://substack.com/@marielloyd8
