Animal Guidance Series: Rabbit Medicine

Call IT In with Dar

Animal folklore and symbolism can be found across the world… from culture to culture. I find the similarities to be amazing. In early times prior to social media, the synchronicities abound. In almost all cultures, rabbits are associated with positive symbols of luck, good fortune, abundance, gentleness, sensitivity, and intuition. White rabbits are believed to symbolize purity, longevity, and abundance. Many cultures believe the rabbit brought life to early Earth. We see this with today's customs of rabbits, delivering easter eggs. Due to this association with Easter, the Christians see rabbits as symbols of good luck, kindness and fertility. Rabbits are part of the Chinese zodiac and considered to be the luckiest of all animals. The moon goddess is believed to have had a rabbit by her side, who spends time mixing and grinding herbs to make medicine. Therefore, the Chinese also see the rabbit as a symbol of good health and longevity. In Japanese culture, rabbits are believed to symbolize progress, ambition, and self-devotion. In some areas, their folklore portrays them as tricksters.

Overall rabbits symbolize fertility, abundance, stillness, shapeshifting, psychic senses, survival instincts and wit… so call in the rabbit to bring these characteristics into your life. Call in rabbit medicine! “Call IT in With Dar!”
