Like the Moon, which always changes places in the sky, hares were full of mystery and contradictions. Active at night, symbolic of the intuitive, and the fickleness of the Moon, the hare was an emblem of unpredictability. Man has for centuries respected, even feared, the hare because of its perceived powers of solitude and remoteness.
What was it about the hare which led to this uniform mythology? We will probably never know for sure, but the fact that wild hares lived in proximity to people, perform unique and uninhibited courtship dances, are extremely sexually active in the spring and are active at night, were all factors. Similar to the fact that most ancient cultures have a flood myth, most also seem to have hare mythology. The most striking thing about the mythology of hares is the degree of commonality across the globe. There is evidence of hare mythology in ancient pottery, coins, seals, hieroglyphs and in oral history. The hare was believed to have mystical links to the female cycle and to the moon which governed it. It is associated in mythology with the Moon, the celestial skies and the Sun, with fertility, the dawn, cunning and bravery. Throughout the world, there are long-spoken tales of hares from the Americas to the Far East, from Africa to Europe, the hare is embedded in the folk myths of our ancestors. Its elusiveness and unusual behaviour, particularly at night, have reinforced its reputation as a magical creature. The hare has been a powerful symbol in mythology in major civilisations around the world for thousands of years and has always had divine associations.
