The Beaver shows us of the team work and pre-paredness needed for the winter coming. The snake reminds us to shed our skin to grow and change. As we get older our hair turn white, as we come to our time of winter. With experience and age we gain wisdom. Now we have time to rest and contemplate the lessons.
North is purity and wisdom, a great place of healing.
This is the time after midnight, a dream time. The time to be grounded within yourself and deep within, like a bear in a cave. North is the place of winter. This reminds us to stop and listen. That we must have prepared for the long time of winter.
