The hare is a creature of the moon, a liminal familiar tied to fertility, shapeshifting, and abundance. In Celtic folklore, witches were believed to transform into hares to run unseen by moonlight or to steal milk from neighbors’ cows. Across Britain and Ireland, hares were tied to lunar goddesses, their swift leaps reflecting the cycles of waxing and waning moon.
In pagan lore, the hare embodies mystery, renewal, and the fertile energies of autumn. Unlike the domestic rabbit, the hare is wild, elusive, and always close to the otherworld. For witches, it is a familiar of speed, secrecy, and lunar magic—a guide to hidden paths and nocturnal rituals.
This artwork celebrates the hare as a mystical companion of witches, a sacred spirit bound to moonlight and transformation. Perfect for pagan altars, lunar rites, or gothic interiors, it channels the hare’s untamed, magical essence.
