Even among the Celts, the bear was an important symbol of strength, power and might. In view of their behavior in the annual cycle, bears are still regarded today as a symbol of Mother Earth; the large animals live entirely in the rhythm of nature. In the cold season they retreat into a cave, into the womb of Mother Earth, in spring the cubs are born and in summer and fall they hunt, eat and store up fat for the winter. With the reawakening of nature in spring, the bear also wakes up again and faces the challenges of life.

Placed in an important place, the bear engraving reminds us that we are all part of the cycle of nature - cold is followed by warmth, night is followed by day, and barren times are followed by exuberant joie de vivre.
