Seven Grandfather Teachings

Bear asks you to face what you have been avoiding, whether fear, grief, or truth, with patience and inner strength. Bravery here means staying present, even when it is uncomfortable.

Reversed

Reversed, Bear signals fear-driven reactions, defensiveness, or avoidance. You may be acting from instinct rather than awareness. This card invites you to turn inward, rest, and reconnect with your inner stability before acting.
