We made our first Moon Gazing Hare, the Moon Gazing Hare Plaque, back in 2007, this was quickly followed by Lunar the Moon Gazing Hare sculpture, we still make both of these today and you will find full details below. 

 Hares have been associated with the moon for centuries, the myth of the Moon Gazing Hare reflects ancient beliefs. Pagans believed that seeing a moon gazing hare would bring you growth, rebirth, abundance, new beginnings, and good fortune.  The hare is known to be sacred to the goddess Eostre and eventually became known as the Easter bunny.  During Easter, we enjoy Hot Cross Buns. The cross on these buns is believed to symbolise the four quarters of the moon. Originally, these buns were pagan offerings and were often hung from rafters to ward off evil spirits lurking in homes.

The spiral often seen on a Moon Gazing Hare is an ancient symbol, believed to be one of the earliest representations of spirituality. It’s the symbol of the goddess, fertility, growth, rebirth and continual change. The spiral is said to represent the continued  cycle of life and death. It is thought a clockwise spiral represents the first half of life and the anti clockwise spiral represents life in decline and returning to source.
