While spring is still a few weeks away, some species of bear are beginning to stir in their dens. Mother bears, having given birth to cubs during the long winter, have been feeding them and caring for them even during hibernation.
The totem Bear watches over all of her children who sleep. Not all of them may make it through the winter, especially if they are found by hunters or didn't get enough food in the fall to build up a sufficient layer of fat to live on during hibernation. Since all species of bear are threatened by extinction, you may wish to bless the bears during this crucial period of their yearly cycle.
Bruin, Bera
Grandfather, Grandmother
You of long claws and teeth
You of the thick, shaggy coat
Fish-eater, berry-picker, lover of honey
Brave bear, bold mother, young cub
May you return safely into the waking world.
