Hare Animal Totem

A totem is a sacred/magical object and for many of us there is a certain animal that we are inexplicably drawn to. This hare spirit is made by hand in stoneware clay, carved with protection sigils that have been inspired by an obsession with Slavic and Icelandic traditional magical protection designs. It has been fired twice and coated in a rusty shino glaze oxide that has been hand-painted on to give a more rustic appearance.

We’re all drawn to different animals and the concept of spirit animals resonates strongly with many of us. In shamanic belief systems, spirit animals—often called power animals or animal guides—are an example of the living manifestations of animism.

The hare spirit symbolizes intuition, rebirth and profound mystery, and is often used symbolically in magical motifs. Deeply tied to the moon and the arrival of spring, the hare is seen as a bridge between the earthly and spiritual realms, acting as a sacred messenger of transformation and heightened awareness. The hare as a witch’s familiar was often documented as proof of witchcraft in the trials across Europe and the British Isles.
