What Is a Mystery School? 5 Things You Should Know

Discover the Ancient Path of Soul Evolution

Have you ever felt a mysterious pull – a sense that there is something hidden, sacred and ancient that you are meant to remember? Perhaps it is not something you can explain in words, it originates deep in your spirit. You may have distant memories, or fleeting dreams, or simply a magnetic pull to the mystery.

For thousands of years, Mystery Schools have existed in hidden places – far away temples and centres of learning where sacred knowledge has been passed down, not just through written texts, but through experience, revelation and spiritual transmission. In this article, I will share information on what a real mystery school is, why they exist and how a true mystery school offers a proven path to soul evolution, self-mastery and total liberation or full self-actualisation.

1. What Is a Mystery School?

A mystery school is a sacred spiritual training centre where aspirants undergo a series of rites of passage and undertake progressive deep inner work to awaken their full divine potential. The word “mystery” does not mean secrecy – it refers to hidden knowledge that can only be understood through direct experience or ‘gnosis’.

True mystery schools have always been operated on the basis of spiritual lineage. They offer a living transmission of esoteric teachings, sacred rites of passage and wisdom teachings that, with their associated practices, awaken and expand consciousness, heal and mature the soul and align one with their divine purpose and reality.

The Purpose of a Mystery School

The deeper purpose of a mystery school is to guide the individual along the ancient and sacred path of spiritual enlightenment and soul evolution to bring about the full realisation of one’s divinity.

In a true mystery school, teachings are not directed at the intellect, they are for the soul, spirit and higher nature. The true mystery school teachings come from an infinite well of spiritual wisdom that is divine in origin. They expand and refine the consciousness of the person who comes in contact with them, applies them and embodies them.

The teachings in a true mystery school are progressive, and every step on the journey is designed to facilitate soul maturation and soul development.

A real mystery school helps you:

  • Reclaim your spiritual power and remember who you truly are
  • Stand in your sovereignty and walk the path of the initiate
  • Heal the split between your human self and divine self
  • Awaken to your soul’s sacred purpose and original spiritual contracts
  • To be an embodiment of spiritual authority and reality and so live in alignment with divine order
  • Fulfil your destiny as a healer, lightworker, shaman, priestess, or spiritual guide

2. What Is the Most Ancient Mystery School on the Planet?

House of the Bee Mystery School®

The House of the Bee Mystery School® is the most ancient and original mystery school on the planet.

It holds the primordial, undiluted teachings on soul evolution, healing and spiritual enlightenment — teachings that have been preserved in their pure form through time.

This school is the custodian of the original ancient mystery tradition — a divine lineage that offers direct access to the living mysteries. It is not a reconstruction, nor a synthesis of various paths. It is the original and unbroken stream of spiritual knowledge that has guided the evolution of the soul since the dawn of human consciousness.

Divine Feminine Mysteries

The bee and the beehive have long been sacred symbols of the ancient wisdom, sacred service and the divine feminine mysteries.

In the House of the Bee Mystery School®, those symbols live on as experiential spiritual realities and constructs that facilitate the aspirant’s ability to return to wholeness, embody divine will, and create from a place of true spiritual power and spiritual sovereignty.

From Lemuria through Atlantis and Ancient Egypt to Now

At this time in the world’s history, the teachings held within this mystery school were brought through time by Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber, the High Priestess of the House of the Bee®, through divine transmission and carried in the sacred ark of her own blood.

These are not repackaged philosophies of various sources — they are the pristine teachings of the Goddess, preserved in their original form recontextualised for the 21st century use for those who are truly ready to walk the ancient path.

These sacred teachings first appeared on Earth during the time of Lemuria, when humanity still lived in harmony with Nature. When Lemuria sank the teachings re-emerged in the ancient civilisation of Atlantis. Then with the sinking beneath the waves of the Atlantic ocean, they reappeared in ancient Egypt, where they were made available in temples for the initiated few. Subsequently, these teachings have been hidden behind the veil for over 2,000 years.

For Healers and Spiritual Seekers

Now, we live in the new era — the Aquarian Age — these original mystery teachings have been brought back and recontextualised for the modern-day spiritual seeker or aspirant who hears the call. They are here for the healers, lightworkers and those who want to live a soul-infused sacred life. 

3. What Happens in a Real Mystery School?

Uplifting the Soul and Spirit

Unlike courses that provide information that satisfies the logical mind but does not touch the soul, the real mystery school teachings speak directly to the soul and spirit and so transform, uplift and empower the soul and spirit. 

In the House of the Bee Mystery School®, students experience:

  • Sacred rites of passage that awaken latent spiritual powers within the holistic self
  • Esoteric teachings and practices that catalyse deep personal healing and transformative spiritual awakening
  • Direct revelation through direct engagement with the unseen realms and higher spiritual intelligences
  • Working with Nature and learning from Nature

This is the ancient magickal science of spiritual alchemy. The aspirant is taken through a precise series of initiations to purify the soul, transform and transmute the dross of consciousness, and awaken to the divine self.

Through this work, homo sapiens — the natural human — is progressively refined into homo spiritualis, the spiritual human, and ultimately into homo deus: the god man or god woman — one who embodies divine love and acts from divine will and mind.

4. How to Know If You Are Entering a True Mystery School?

Today, many websites and schools claim to be mystery schools – but only a tiny few are true to their claims.

How to Know if You Are Entering a True Mystery School

Here are some of the signs of a true mystery school:

  1. A true mystery school carries the original lineage fully integrated teachings and evolutionary teachings and systems required to bring about evolutionary development that are not derivative, borrowed or loosely and randomly assembled from various sources.
  2. A true mystery school provides ancient initiatory pathways for soul development, it is an experiential pathway of deep transformation, not one of acquisition of information.
  3. A true mystery school provides a comprehensive teaching and systematic initiatory structure that facilitates spiritual growth, evolutionary development and skill acquisition.
  4. A true mystery school offers the aspirant the ability to make direct contact with true spiritual allies and higher realms, it does not work as an intermediary.

Re-establishing One’s Relationship with One’s Divine Nature

The House of the Bee Mystery School® holds the original lineage teachings on healing and soul evolution — sacred teachings that are hundreds of thousands of years old.

The House of the Bee Mystery School® offers a progressive spiritual training pathway with a comprehensive, cohesive and integrated system of initiations and rites of passage.

Each initiatory experience is designed to incrementally destroy the false ego in order to enable the aspirant to develop and acquire enhanced healing, shamanic, magickal and spiritual capacities and to facilitate increased levels of high frequency or ‘high tension’ power to flow in and through the being with ever diminishing impediment or deflection.

The ultimate objective being the re-establishing one’s relationship with one’s divine nature and true self.

  • Feel like there is a deeper purpose for your life that has not yet been fully realised
  • Have an inner knowing that you are here to serve spirit in a bigger way
  • Experience recurring dreams, symbols or synchronicities related to being a priest/priestess, healer, shaman or being of service
  • Have a heightened sensitivity and longing for the sacred

… then the high road into the mysteries may be calling you.

This call is your divine self inviting you to embark upon and hasten your evolutionary journey.
