It's International Polar Bear Day. In addition to the polar bear's inherent worth as a sacred sibling on our beloved planet, s/he also possesses great magical worth as a totem and guide on both the physical and spiritual planes. Symbolizing transformation and survival, this grand white bear's most quintessential medicine is the ability to usher us from one phase or quality of life to another. Polar bears are seen as psychopomps(who guide us to the otherworld after death) as well as initiators into new levels of perception and power.
Today, light a white candle, play entrancing instrumental music, and take a vision quest through a snowy landscape to meet the polar bear. Offer a gift, and be open to receiving any guidance or blessings you may be offered. Say thank you and return. Afterward, find a charity that supports polar bears and donate any amount that you can comfortably afford (even a dollar!). |
