Upright
The hare sits between worlds — wild and watchful, neither fully of this world nor the other. You are being called to shapeshift, to adapt, to see things from a different angle. What looks like one thing may be another entirely. Trust your instincts; they are wilder and wiser than your logic.
Reversed
You may be changing shape so often that you have lost your own. Or you are refusing to adapt when the situation demands it. The hare is magic, but it is also a hare — it knows what it is even when it wears another form.
Irish lore
The hare (Giorria) was sacred in Irish tradition and associated with shapeshifting and the Otherworld. It was taboo to hunt hares in some regions, for they might be women in animal form. The March hare's madness was considered a kind of magical ecstasy.
