Hare goddesses

Hares (and often rabbits) turn up often as goddesses, perhaps because of their fecundity and association with moon cycles.

Eostre/Ostara—English/Germanic fertility goddess—the Easter rabbit.

Wenet—Egyptian goddess known as rabbit though she was a snake goddess.

Diana-Andraste—associated with hares though a Welsh warrior goddess,

Artemis—Greek goddess of the hunt who forbade the hunting of hares.
