The three cards this morning featured TWO bear cards plus the Woodward, but the Queen of Stones called out. As I have noted before with this card, she wants us to understand our power and to use it wisely and to protect the land. The bears connected to King Arthur, but let us not forget his kingdom fell when he didn’t protect and honor the sovereignty of the land. The Wasteland ensued. What can we do to honor our power and the land itself?
Blessings!

Queen of Stones – Bear
Meaning: The ancient ancestor of the modern bear, the cave bear hibernated in caves during the cold northern winter. Neanderthals buried their skulls here and even shared their caves during some periods. Often linked to Arthurian legend, the Bear remains a symbol of the power and protection of the land.
Reading Points: Richness and plenty surround you. Your bounty and welcoming nature make you popular with all. Many depend on you, and your natural sensuality makes you powerful attractive to others. Pragmatism and generosity open doorways at every point.
Tracks & Pathways: Power and generality, punctiliousness, a demanding individual, confidence, frankness, assurance, and property.
