an attempt at a three hares symbol from a manuscript I have no source for

kinda wonky tbh, not my best

[violetmoondaughter]

Triskeles, Triquetra, Trinacria are different version of an ancient Indo-European symbol that we can find in different civilizations trough history.

The Triskele symbol, otherwise known as the Triskelion, is a trilateral symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals. It evokes the Celtic interpretation of the three realms of material existence: earth, water, and sky and all their interconnections. The symbol is also thought to represent the three worlds: spiritual, physical, and celestial. Other Trinity connections associated with the triskele are life-death-rebirth, past-present-future, earth-water-sky, and creation-protection-destruction. Triskeles with the left facing spirals recalls the sun symbol of life and rebirth, while the right facing spirals recall the Katabasis, the descending to the underground and the transformation.

The Triquetra is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs that relates to the number three, like the three activities of ancient society: worship, war, and toil, the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea, and Sky, the three moon and sun phases. It is also thought to have a connection with ancient triple goddesses.

Trinacria is a triangular symbol composed of three legs bent at the knee. The symbol is anciently closely associated with Sicily and the Greek society. The three legs in the Trinacria Symbol stand for the three promontories of Sicily. In the Symbol of Sicily, the Trinacria also presents the head of Medusa with entwined serpent’s hair and ears of corn. The ears of wheat represent the symbol of the fertility of the land while the head of Medusa refers to the three gorgon and the ancient apotropaic symbol of the gorgoneion. The arrangement of the three legs, suggests a rotation connected with the cycles of Time, Sun, and Moon.

The Three Hares symbol features three hares or rabbits chasing each other in a circle. Each of the ears is shared by two hares, so that only three ears are shown. The symbol is thought to have a range of symbolic or mystical associations with fertility and the lunar cycle. Rabbits and hare have always been associated with the fertility of the earth, the rebirth of spring and the moon phases, so the symbol is also connected with the idea of life, death, and rebirth, with the three phases of women’s life and with the menstrual cycle.

Thanks to those powerful symbolism, these figures have always been used as a protection amulet, as an apotropaic symbol, and as a charm for luck, abundance, and prosperity.

Name Request

As some of you who have followed me for a while may remember, I lost my dad over 3 years ago. While I was able to get through the incident, it nevertheless inspired me to concoct a Trio of Mythical Fakemon, and after 3 years I’ve finally had them illustrated by Nyula on Twitter. Now comes the crux of this post: I am here to ask for submissions of potential names for these guys. Apart from the usual parameters for Pokemon names I only ask that all three names begin with the letter “A”. To help with the process, below is a list of key inspirations. (Also all three are Normal/Ghost.)

The Three Hares

The Riddles of the Sphinx (yes there is a second one)

Alchemy

The Philosopher’s Stone

The Three Primes/Essentials

The Tale of the Three Brothers

The Myth of the Moon Rabbit

Harvey (1950)

“In this world, you must be oh-so smart or oh-so pleasant. Now for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant.”

I ask that submissions are made to this blog as text posts with the headline Hare Trio Names. Be sure to include the names in order of the images in this post as well as a detailed explanation of each. If there are any further questions, please submit them as Asks with the headline Hare Trio Question.

Three hares (originally: Három nyúl) 2023 Watercolour and ink on paper

My take on the traditional pattern. I don't know what it originally meant; I know it's meaningful to me, and I knew I would have to paint it someday. That day has come.

The title I gave it could also mean three rabbits. And three rabbits are also valid for the traditional pattern. And this wasn't intended as a zoological identification guide illustration. They are some sort of bunnies anyway, being mysterious and nocturnal (and maybe slightly meatcrime-y).

This took oddly long, it's very small (nine centimetres in diameter) but I wanted to be sure that it was how I wanted it, so I took my time with it. I really like circular compositions, even if I don't do as many of them because I can't tape down a circle properly and I have to cut it square anyway and I couldn't help but feel like that is a waste. However, when something really wants to be a circle, it's going to be a circle; and there's no feeling of waste then, after all, the circularness is necessary for the picture.

“Three hares, joined in a circle by their ears... are found in British, German and many European medieval heritage sites, churches. It is an image reminiscent of pagan religion. The hare is a sacred symbol for the moon in folklore and mythology. It symbolizes fertility, longevity and abundance. Spring goddess Ostara was closely associated with the hare. Nowadays the Easter bunny keeps this tradition alive. (This symbol of leaping hares is said to have a connection with Celtic triskele sign as well.)” source: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1281142431/triple-hare-necklace-leaping-hares?click_key=d92c795199cc549ac4d5399bb0df0851e1f77b6f%3A1281142431&click_sum=b48cc96b&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&frs=1&sts=1

These are the names I have decided to settle on for my Hare Trio. Thank you to Reddit user tlefonmann for the suggestion. (Got a similar naming philosophy to Zacian and Zamazenta.)

I have also posted them to my deviantArt if any want to leave specific comments.
