The Three Hares
Mystery
What does this
ancient symbol mean?
It probably had
different meanings in different cultures.
What we can be
sure of, is that it has been found in holy places of many
religions.
It has appeared
in many places around the world, from roof areas of churches in
Devon to the ceilings of Buddhist cave temples in China.
The clever
design shows three hares each with only one ear, but joined in such a
way, they appear to have two ears each.
The Hare is
believed to have mystical links to the female cycle and to the moon that
governs it.
Also believed to
have links to the Greenman.
It's
thought the Tinners
guild of Devon and Cornwall carved their badge of three hares in a number of
West Country churches. This may be because both hares, rabbits and miners dig
tunnels.
The Hare is also
associated with madness, fertility, love and good fortune.
