Bear worship

Bear worship

Bear worship is the religious practice of the worshipping of bears. This variety of animal worship is found in many North Eurasian ethnic religions such as those of the Sami, Nivkh, Ainu, Basques, Germanic peoples, Slavs and Finns. There are also a number of deities from Celtic Gaul and Britain associated with the bear. The Dacians, Thracians and Getians in the Eastern Balkans were observed to worship bears and to celebrate an annual bear dance festival. The bear is featured on many totems throughout northern cultures that carve them.
