Bear Mother - Bear Mother Stirring at the Threshold - Cross-Quarter Icon / Late Winter
The old stories say that our ancient Old European animal totem, Bear Mother, fierce nurturer and guardian of life, was honored at the cross-quarter days of late winter, when the bear stirs and turns toward the light. As her worship moved north, Bear Mother became Brigid - keeper of the flame, protector of the people, awakener of what has long been sleeping. Bear Mother, protective and wild-hearted one, we feel you stirring in the earth, and awakening in us now.

"I use vibrant color(often sourced from minerals and botanical sources gathered at sites I visit and the essence of which I want to depict), line, symbol, image, rhythm and word, to expand consciousness, share ideas, enhance connection, push boundaries, question limitations, accentuate the luminous, initiate healing and express my wild heart, soul and spirituality. My work is informed by the natural world around me - the plants, trees, mountains, waters, wild animals, bird song and all the textures, sounds and aromas of the living Earth expressing herself. I draw inspiration for my work from the deep well of the Divine Feminine, as well as from Old World myths, sacred stories, poetry, art and culture."
