This book is both a fascinating account of dream therapy and an
exploration of the symbolism of the hare in myth and fable around
the world. John Layard, a British Jungian analyst, first recounts
his treatment of a devout Christian woman whose dream of the
sacrifice of a hare marked a turning point in her spiritual and
psychological healing. He then goes on to examine the meaning of
the hare in the mythology of Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas,
and ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Among the many manifestations
of this universal archetype are the hare as trickster-hero, as a
goddess associated with the moon, as a Buddhist symbol of spiritual
transformation, and as the Easter Rabbit of the Christian
tradition.
