\u201cI 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(\u2026)We have drunk the Soma; we have become immortal; we have gone to the light; we have found the gods.(\u2026)The glorious drops that I have drunk set me free in wide space.(\u2026)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\u201d<\/p>\n

What is Mead?<\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
