TEA TIME! Part 1: The Doodle Poll Apocalypse
<p>Welcome to our first Tea Time! Where we serve you TEA! This tea time also happens to have key information about ridiculous things happening around The Sacred Trust that most people had no idea was happening. This first half is two hours of mini-explosions prepping for what feels to us like a bit of a bombshell, coming in Part 2.</p><p></p><p>Marie explains in the beginning what the Tea Time is all about and then we give some background on the would-be and current teachers of the pretend tradition the Path of Pollen, like Nico Wolf and Ariella Daly.</p><p></p><p>Plus- who already knew about the plagiarism inside Simon Buxton's "The Shamanic Way of the Bee" and who knew much more?</p><p></p>

Episode 2 | Part 2: Visible Darkness
<p></p><p>Hi there, Here is part 2 of Visible Darkness! Please enjoy while we puke and scream from anxiety! </p><p></p><p>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. </p><p></p><p>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. </p><p></p><p>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. </p><p></p><p>Please continue to write in with comments and history. If you’d like to be interviewed later in the series- let us know!</p><p></p><p>My Instagram Story Highlights 2023</p><p>Start: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18006746200889506/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18006746200889506/</a></p><p>Part 2: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18062153104423903/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18062153104423903/</a></p><p>(more highlights there)</p><p></p><p>2015 Secret Plagiarism (Steiner, etc)</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/plagiarism-of-modern-or-living-authors.html" target="_blank">https://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/plagiarism-of-modern-or-living-authors.html</a></p><p>You can see a screenshot of the statement briefly put on the website in 2023 here:</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="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.jpg" target="_blank">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.jpg</a></p><p>Scriptus Gydja Review</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scriptus.gydja.com/the-shamanic-way-of-the-bee-simon-buxton/" target="_blank">https://scriptus.gydja.com/the-shamanic-way-of-the-bee-simon-buxton/</a></p><p>Pollen Path & Ritual Deer Hunt</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-pollen-path-indigenous-appropriation.html" target="_blank">https://sacredtrustinfo.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-pollen-path-indigenous-appropriation.html</a></p><p>Marie Lloyd’s Substack</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://substack.com/@marielloyd8" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@marielloyd8</a></p>

Episode 2 | Pt 1: Visible Darkness
<p>We're back! Part 1 & Part 2 of Visible Darkness were going to drop together, but instead they'll be a couple days in between while we add some outside video resources to part 2- so not to worry, the rest of is coming shortly.</p><p></p><p>In Visible Darkness we finish up the recap of Buxton's growing public "biography" and begin venturing into some "behind the scenes" events and secrets that students and the general public were not privy to. We also highlight the reviews and rising whispers online about plagiarism and fraud and what some of the faculty found out, years before this all came to light. Then, Marie dives into detail about what some students were being told behind closed doors and how it was held back from a broader audience- which creates more questions than answers.</p><p></p><p>Visible Darkness marks the opening of door that has been long closed and from here on- for quite a few episodes and for most of you, this will be previously unheard info.</p><p></p><p>Below are all the links for this and some for part 2,</p><p>with more included in the next drop.</p><p></p><p>Shaman’s Drum Review by Timothy White 2004</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DAHY7dUuWeaZm4X_qjAm6yuo2jkJ5ciu/view" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DAHY7dUuWeaZm4X_qjAm6yuo2jkJ5ciu/view</a></p><p></p><p>New Age Fraud & Plastic Shamans (also searchable, use “Simon Buxton” etc)</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=530.0" target="_blank">http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=530.0</a></p><p></p><p>Scriptus Gydja Review</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scriptus.gydja.com/the-shamanic-way-of-the-bee-simon-buxton/" target="_blank">https://scriptus.gydja.com/the-shamanic-way-of-the-bee-simon-buxton/</a></p><p></p><p>Sky River Brewing Mead Website </p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20000614060909/http://skyriverbrewing.com:80/history.asp" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20000614060909/http://skyriverbrewing.com:80/history.asp</a></p><p></p><p>Bad Witch Blog with Ross Heaven</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.badwitch.co.uk/2013/06/i-ask-ross-heaven-what-is-authentic.html%20" target="_blank">https://www.badwitch.co.uk/2013/06/i-ask-ross-heaven-what-is-authentic.html%20</a></p><p></p><p>BeeGarth Comment </p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4152532055090335650/7684877476002807000" target="_blank">https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/4152532055090335650/7684877476002807000</a></p><p></p><p>Buxton Vs.
