During visits to the human world, Odin and Thor often take on the appearance of a bear as a disguise. Therefore, bears tend to be looked upon as the forefathers of man in ancient times.
Bears symbolize wisdom, strength, and healing that bring balance to the seen and unseen world. While the male bears usually represent masculinity, the female ones serve as symbols of femininity.
Historical sources point to a thriving bear cult attested by the many berserker (Old Norse: “berserkr”) poems in Snorri’s Icelandic literature.
