Bear-Art: Primal Power, Sovereignty, Intuition Married with Instinct
Art connects you with the very deepest of your ancestral roots. Here at this level, you are in touch with the Primal Mother-The Bear Goddess Artio who will defend you fiercely from all danger. You are connected also with the Bear God Artaois, the mighty warrior Arthur, the guiding Pole Star of the Great Bear.
Your intuition will never fail you, if you will listen to it in the still darkness of the night. Working with the Bear gives you the opportunity to become a spiritual warrior- like Arthur.
You can find the way to come into your power by marrying your strength with your intuition. Integrating your primal power with your intuition means uniting your star-power with your animal power and both are symbolized by Art, the Bear.
Chosen Reversed, the bear card gives a clear warning that you must take care not to be over whelmed by the ferocious mother, by the berserk warrior- by forces of anger and primal ferocity that, untempered with the human qualities of compassion and reason, can damage not only your own life, but those of others around you.
Art brings a strong presence and great reserves of power, and with perseverance you will be able to integrate your spiritual, intuitive qualities with your primal instinctual qualities.
The Tradition of the Bear
With the Blessings of the great bear of the starry heavens and the deep and fruitful earth, we call upon the powers of the North
