In the Pre-Christian Finland, Bear was one of the most worshipped animal deities. According to the old belief, the Bear was landed from the constellation of Ursa Major on the earth and was protected by the forest spirits. Finnish bear stories are captivating, magical and enchanting. This symbiotic relationship that man had with the bear lasted for a very long time.

Articles are in English. Videos in Finnish with English subtitles are available.

Bear was a divine god and an honoured ancestor. Topics of this course are bear festivities, worship of the bear in ancient Finland, raising the bear, bear spells, bear deities and bear saints across the world, worship of the bear among different native tribes, the birth of the bear, and nature spirits in Finnish mythology and folklore.

You will also get tips on how to build connections with nature and animal spirits. The course includes both written and video material.
