On 12/15/25 we meditated with bear!
Meditation Experiences
Mama Bear Experience:
Standing and looking very slowly, side to side. She is watching out for threats to her young. I feel my cheeks and orbital sockets. This is a lot of the beginning. Quiet mentally. "I am not very good at this" (motherhood), I start to dig, and look for food, and that is when problems can happen for my young. When my children are gone, I think I am okay again (being alone and with a male bear, having sex). Then they come again. Do I have to be okay with everything (including being a mother)? I’m not. I like to dig. That is the part I like (foraging).
"If I had eyes like you, I might organize my time differently."

She keeps saying she is not a very good mom. I ask her if that is true or if it is difficult to take care of her young ones and herself with no support. She has not seen this before. She just kept thinking she was not a good mother. She likes things for herself. He is selfish, she is focused on herself too. They are two species she says, and they both like things for themselves.
A single mother has a greater burden. She has to wait until the kids are ready to move on, and then she can try again. That is all she can do.
Cub-Free Bear Experience:
That was an interesting one (the meditation). My ovarian fimbriae were releasing one gold coin at a time, alternating. I could see gold coins flowing in a river down my fallopian tubes. It went into my uterus, and it was pooling on the inside and turning into liquid gold. And then it started coming out of my vagina. Instead of coming out at liquid gold, it materialized as opportunities to make money. And then I saw a vision of me taking a tincture of whatever this is, and I got an opportunity to win $10000, and then I got $10k. And then, I could see myself at 23 or 25, walking down the street in business attire, and I seemed to be really rich and really hot.

When the blood comes, that is a sign she can still be doing what she wants for herself.
The foxes do lead us to food. They like to get stuff too.
(There is a water knife that goes through her heart. Grief, I never saw this before. Like Sylvanius (Faerie Oracle, related to unmasking), but the sword goes through the heart. Tears-water pouring grief.)

I was sitting at a table in what looked like an examination room. I was writing pen and paper and there were judges in front of me. After I was done doing that, I made a bunch of money. My brain told me: if I put the time in, I could make money for my semester-long creative writing project. But, if I put the time in after, I could make money off it.
I saw myself as an adult again. I was a CEO at all these different places. I kept raking it in. Every time I breathed, money would flow in and out of me. It was like a soft caress that was giving me life.
I was in a CEO chair in a CEO office. My hair was short and really curly, it was cute, and I was wearing business attire. All of a sudden, the world melted away. I floated to the moon on a sea of dollar bills. I took a loop around the moon, then settled on its surface and slept.
Summary and More
Female bears, and to a lesser extent the boars, experience huge highs and lows of energy, resources, and freedom. In Ted Andrews Animal Wise Tarot he associates them with the Wheel of Fortune. In our meditations, the sense of power of being a bear came across. Bears are omnivores enjoy foraging a lot. In areas, climates, and seasons where diverse plants are available they eat a wide variety of plant matter (up to 200 different types of food found in their faeces). As much of 80% of their diet may be plant matter (pine cones, mosses, grasses, berries, etc). Yet they have size, physical power, and killer instinct to end lives when very hungry or threatened.
The meditation compare and contrast between the bear as powerhouse (CEO/alpha predator/top gleaner) versus mothering bear. Unlike fox mothers who typically have the support of the father and adult females in their earth, bears solo parent. Bears often have 2-3 cubs, but occasionally black bears will have as many as six offspring. I would imagine it is a lot of food (5-20k calories is a lot of berries, sunflower seeds, pine cones and small prey) and parent solo, while fearing infanticide from hungry or horney male bears. Boars may see small bears as food or bring mom back into estrus by killing her young. On the other hand, fox mother and cubs get food delivered to the den and protection from dad for the first three months. The experience is very different.
Bear reminds us that female reproductive organs are engines of creativity that work for us far beyond reproduction. Bear also reminds us the each cycle of bleeding is a sign of our freedom. Bears teach herbalism and women's health. Keep foraging, eating a nutrient rich diet, and getting needed rest to stay at the top of your game.
If you need the strength to go for the gold (whether it is honey or CEO style) try bear and let us know your experience. Probably not the best energy to channel for being a mom (unless you are needing strength to gestate while on bed rest or dealing with an abusive dad).
