BEAR FEASTING CEREMONY

Soon the black bear will go into hibernation, and we need to feast the Spirit of the Black Bear.
We feast the Spirit of the Black Bear in thanksgiving for the gifts of healing that we will receive as it goes within the earth and within itself to connect with the needs of our Spirits.
Then in the spring, we can rejoice with the healing received and start anew.
Directions:
Make a feast plate with pieces of any food and drink and put it out onto the ground and offer it to the Spirit of the Black Bear requesting it to heal you of what you need healing for.
“Spirit of the Black Bear, heal me of what I need healing from. Miigwetch/Thank you.”
