The myth of the Moon Gazing Hare reflects ancient beliefs. Pagans believed that seeing a moon gazing hare would bring growth, re-birth, 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. At Easter we eat Hot-Cross-Buns, the cross on the bun is said to represent the four quarters of the moon, these buns were originally pagan offerings and were often hung from rafters to scare off evil that lurked in houses.
The spiral is an ancient symbol thought to be the earliest known symbol 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.

The Pentacle, usually seen as the symbol of Witch’s, represents an ancient concept that can be found in philosophical thought in both Eastern and Western culture. Although over 8,000 years old, the image of the pentagram is very applicable in our modern world. It is a symbol of Love, Light, Beauty and Protection
The pentagram tells us that we have the ability to bring Spirit to earth; this applies to every area of practical day-to-day living, as well as spiritual thought. The origins of the pentagram go far back, to remotest historical antiquity. It has been venerated by many civilizations.
It is the ruling of the higher mind over the lower elements of our being. It signals the awakening of cosmic consciousness and the beginnings of our own human psyche moving beyond the realms of physical form and the perceptions limited to the five senses. It allows the infinite possibilities that exist within the Universe and frees us to explore and to grow. Traditionally, each of the five angles has been attributed to the five metaphysical elements of the ancients:
EARTH:(North) represents stability and physical endurance.
FIRE:(South) represents courage and daring.
WATER: (West) represents emotions and intuition. AIR: (East) represents intelligence and the arts.

The Three Hares Mystery
Indoor Only
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.
