Artio. the Celtic Bear Goddess, represents wildness, abundance, and the protection of wildlife. Derived from the Celtic word for bear, her origins trace back to the Helvetii tribe. Often depicted as a bear, she shares connections with Artemis and Diana, highlighting her role in the divine feminine. Artio safeguards ecosystems and serves as a source of wisdom for those seeking a deeper connection to nature. Linked to the constellations Ursa Major and Minor, she acts as a celestial guide. Celebrated on October 21, her worship continues through rituals that honor her influence on spiritual journeys and harmony with nature.
This piece made of bear bones, flower agate moon, indian agate, black lava stone, is crafted intending to honor her spirit and be used in devotional work with Artio.
