The Bear is an animal that has fascinated and been revered by humans since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the numerous cave paintings found. Probably for this reason, the bear is also one of the most important animal spirits in shamanism: in some cultures, it represented one of the shaman's fundamental guides.
Furthermore, it is a symbol of balanced protection and strength, introspection, and motherhood in its purest and wildest essence. It can accompany us in defining and enforcing our personal space, in embracing and protecting ourselves and our loved ones, in retreating to the "dream cave" to transmute and emerge renewed.
The stars engraved on the front of the pendant represent the Big Dipper constellation.
On the back, you can choose to have "Ursa Major" (the Latin name of the constellation), "Protect" (in the sense of protection for yourself and Nature), or no words engraved.
