Cherish the cubs
We than you, Gaia, for sending us children
May we be worthy to cherish and teach them.
We will defend then, se that they honor you,
Nourish the nurture, heal them at need.
This do we promise, this shall we do.
Protect the land
Smell the green and growing grass.
Feel the wind that sways the trees.
Hear the heartbeat of the earth.
Taste the fruits of summer’s breeze.
Look upon the sun and moon,
See the totems in the stars.
Know the earth must turn and grow.
The duty to protect is ours.
Heal the sick
Mother Bear, seed down your healing light.
Hold forth your paw and lend your healing might.
Little Bear send laughter on the way.
Give us your joy, chase pain and fear away.
Bear of Death; please turn your face aside.
Do not reach out, let this one here abide.
Nurture the needy
Hey, brother, the cold winds blow,
All the earth is covered in snow.
Hay, sister, the fields are bare,
The forests are empty of even a hare.
How will you live through the winter’s blight?
Brother, take my coat, I no longer need it,
Sister, take my fleas, your children may eat it.
Teach the supplicant
Turn and learn, remember now
Buri-Jaan will teach you how
And in the fullness of your days
Teach to other cubs our ways……
