Melangell
This hare is part of the folklore series that I am working on . I named her Melangell after the goddess.
Melangell is the patron saint of hares. She was a Celtic princess who escaped an unwanted arranged marriage. The hare was a sacred and mystical animal to the Celts; a symbol of abundance, prosperity and good fortune. They were believed to have connections to the Otherworld. They were treated with great respect and never eaten. A group of hares is called a drove, a down or a husk and they are well known for their boxing antics around the mating season in March.
