20 - The Great Bear
The Great Bear guards the gateway of the dead and their rebirth, of which is the still point of renewal and healing. The polar bear keeps a close watch of the gateway, as the guardian of the forest ways, it holds the power of life & death over those who transgress its laws. In order to move on, one needs to strip down to your bare 'casing', and look within. Enter the hall with a quiet and peaceful mind, allowing the initiation of renewed strength and wisdom to develop.
To truly let your inner self shine through, honesty is the key. One needs to be honest, forgiving and patient, and be assured that change is at hand - always keep in mind that nature never forgets - nature will right itself, of whatever wrong that's been happening. Whatever goes around, comes back around.
