Sorry to be running late today, but with 1 degree Fahrenheit, it’s hard to leave the cozy chair with it’s soft throw and two warm kitties! I hope everyone facing this arctic blast is safe and warm.
Fittingly, the Polar Bear is here to help us make our journeys safely. Seek this powerful ally if setting out on a new journey – and today let some of that ally be caution and common sense if you have to go out in unsafe weather!
Blessings,

The Polar Bear
Powerful and fierce, he carries friends on long journeys
Bears are often seen as protective and fierce, and here we have a polar bear carrying a girl on an adventure by the light of the full moon. Behind them is a cozy home with a couple folks watching her leave – at least one of them is a child as well. Notice how she doesn’t look frightened at all? She knows the power of the bear is with her and will guide and protect her.
I think we might be getting the suggestion that we should seek a powerful ally in a forthcoming journey, whether it’s an adventure or a journey to a new job, home, relationship, or connection to spirit. Don’t forget that we are not alone. Even if you do not believe in deity outright, the symbolism of a powerful ally like a bear, wolf, or eagle can empower us. The cold of winter and the dark season need not frighten us when we are prepared.
