Since ancient times the hare has been associated with the Divine. Holda was followed by a train of hares carrying torches, while Eostre changed into a hare at the full moon. It is a symbol of fertility, intuition, spring and, as already mentioned, the moon. The eternal cycle of three hares sharing only three ears can be found in many countries and cultures. Interestingly, it is often found in close proximity to carvings of the Green Man in western churches.
