In many traditions, the hare appears not alone but in a recurring symbolic triad—hare, moon, and the feminine. From Asia through Persia and the Nile, into the forests of Europe and across the Americas, this mythic trio migrated by way of traders, wanderers, travelers across the Silk Road, through spoken story, visual art, recurring motifs and symbolic pattern. . . .a cross-border animate intelligence that persists, holding distant places in storied relation, remembering the whole.

This handcrafted linocut print is inspired by this mythic triad that represents lunar cycles, creaturely feminine and the regenerative power of fertility, a living force that knows no bounds, resists captivity, and remains wild and free. Perfect for lovers of pagan art, cross cultural archetypes, and the sacred feminine journey, this piece celebrates fertility rituals, moon‑cycle wisdom, and nature‑rooted storytelling.

In the design, two hares—one resting, one alert—sit beneath the luminous phases of a full moon, while three dancing women dance in the glow of a full moon within a landscape that echoes the earth’s return to life.
