The Moon-gazing Hare Symbolism
The Moon-gazing Hare symbol is often associated with the lunar cycle, representing life's natural rhythm. It encourages us to stay attuned to the environment, embrace the changes of the seasons, and recognise the significance of the natural world. This symbol is also linked to the divine feminine, representing intuition, creativity, and nurturing. It reminds us to honour and celebrate the feminine energy within ourselves and those around us. The hare is considered a symbol of fertility in most cultures, representing new life and new beginnings. Its association with abundance further emphasises the idea of growth and prosperity. The Moon-gazing Hare symbol, therefore, holds a multifaceted significance, reminding us to stay connected to nature, embrace change, and celebrate the beauty of life.
About the Potter
Jacquie Parfitt, of Glendree Potteries in East Clare, handcrafts these cups individually on a potter's wheel in an old converted stone cottage. Each cup is thrown and turned on the potter's wheel before attaching the handles and discs. After the initial kiln firing, they are decorated with oxide and glazes by hand and returned to the kiln for the final glaze firing.
