Who's Throwing Rabbits at the Moon?
from Detours in Artaeology · host Renée Whitehouse
Rabbits were important in Olmec, Maya, and Mixtec mythology linked to their respective moon goddesses or gods. Their connection to fertility was reinforced by how moon phases matched pregnancy cycles. Rabbits symbolized rejuvenation and fertility, depicted on the moon or being held by Lunar goddesses in Mesoamerican art, emphasizing ties to lunar deities and nature's mystical aspects. https://www.detoursinartaeology.com/writtenform/jhcxttbbniawchyyz8oowb9mx9odfc with Pictures, Citations, and Further watching, listening, and readings Follow my website at detoursinartaeology.com https://www.patreon.com/DetoursinArtaeology/membership!! join and get short goodies like bloopers and extra stories.
