A study on the Bear Charm (PGM VII 686-702) which goal is guessing the highest divinity to which the Bear has been associated by the author of this charm. To this aim, first of all I will focus on analysing of the epithets, voces magicae and theonyms included in the text and then I will pay attention to two Bear charms in PGM IV (1275-1330 and 1331-1389) to see the similar features between deities which are involved and the epithets referred to them. I propose that in PGM VII 686-702 the Bear has been either associated with Hecate or identified with her.
