Why we love it
The most adorable running hare! Known for their speed and agility, hares are a symbol of quick thinking, adaptability and the ability to navigate challenges swiftly.
Hares have also been associated with madness, especially during mating season when they can be seen boxing their rivals or leaping in the air.
The Celts believed that the hare was the Goddess Eostre’s favourite animal and attendant spirit. Representing love, fertility and growth, it was associated with the moon, dawn and Easter – death, redemption and resurrection. Eostre was said to change into a hare at the full moon and being sacred to the White Goddess, was considered a royal animal. Boudicca herself was said to have released a hare as a good omen before each battle and to use the hare’s movements to divine its’ outcome.
