Hare, Gèarr or Rabbit, Coinean. Amongst the strongest of all icons for its sacred powers connected to spring. The rabbit is associated with transformation, able to assist in receiving hidden teachings and developing intuition, alertness. Its movements were used for divination as Boudicca did before her last battle with the Romans.

Charlotte Cadzow's Animal Guides

There is no greater element of any society than the faith system governing the behaviour and actions of its people. It would be impossible to attempt to tell the story of Scotland without paying due respect to the ancient Celtic people whose influences are still felt the world over. Elaborate pagan ritual "saw" messages in the appearance of every animal, these guides serving as an integral role to the daily cycles of life and a path to the Otherworld. Throughout their lives, a Celt would have one very important Animal Guardian serving as a close companion and protector but it was not uncommon to have several guardians to help with specific kinds of problems.

Like many things about Scotland, these Guides are both historic and contemporary, they have admirably served Scotland's people of the distant past and today give expression to the character traits of someone special in your life, or perhaps in opening up a gateway to assist them (or yourself) with the challenges we still face in our everyday lives.
