2018 $3 The Thirteen Teachings From Grandmother Moon: Bear Moon Silver Coin

Bear Moon teaches us patience and to honour the vision quest that began in autumn. As the second teaching from Grandmother Moon in Anishinaabe tradition, Bear Moon reflects the moon as a living relation, making 13 appearances each year to watch over Mother Earth’s children and illuminate their paths with gentle wisdom.

In February, the bear may emerge from hibernation, or a she-bear might appear with her cubs. Months earlier, they saw beyond autumn’s darkness, trusting that life would return to the forest. The bear teaches us to look beyond the present, trust in our visions, and pursue our goals with silent confidence rather than force.

Design:
Algonquin artist Frank Polson has created a captivating image of a full moon rising behind a leafless tree. To the left, a bear stands on its hind legs, stretching after hibernation, symbolizing the pursuit of dreams. The bold lines and vibrant colours within the black areas are signature elements of woodland art, adding a deeper dimension to the design.
