She is the goddess of the Сеltic tribe of the Helvetians (lived in the north-west of modern Switzerland), was revered as the patroness of game.
In Western Europe, she ended up with the resettlement of the Helvetian tribe to the region of Switzerland around 450 BC. Then she was worshiped as a bear goddess. At the same time, the origin of the goddess may be even more ancient, since the bеаr, according to some researchers, is generally the oldest European deity, which is confirmed by the skulls and bones of bears and carved stone figurines found in the altar niches. She patronized the city of Bern. In some myths, she is mentioned together with the horned god of the forests, Сеrnunnos.
She was bearish (accompanied by a bear or she appeared as a bеаr). She rules over forests, fertility, and wild animals. She carries the power of abundance, restoring fields after harvest.
She is so ancient that only a distant memory of her remains. She is the mother of a totem bear. In the sky, she can be seen as the constellation Ursa Major.
She personifies passion, anger, courage, and creative energy. As a СеІtic goddess of wildlife, transformation, and abundance, she remains one of the least known.
In Northern Europe, the bear has always been associated with transformation and shape change. The female bear becomes pregnant in the fall, passing into hibernation pregnant. She travels in darkness and returns in the spring, symbolizing the rebirth and return of the shaman, who has gained new wisdom and is ready to share it with the world.
She protects wildlife and the natural world by giving us an abundance of nature. It also gives protection to people; this is manifested in the fact that the universe always provides us with what we need. Working with the archetype of she, you can try to feel the process of transformation, to feel the power of the Еаrth and her endless love.
