HELLO STEEMERS !! XD

This time

I shall be sharing with you a beautiful song inside a very interesting post where the artistic is mixed with the historical, anthropological and folkloric! We will explore the meaning of some symbols to round it up with a nice song that I really like to sing.

Through history

the rabbit has been an animal with a high symbolic charge as far as different cosmogonies and visions have managed to approach it. It is a little animal that has even been deified in cultural examples like the Egyptian and Indian, where some divine characteristics are represented in the form of rabbit. In India it was a form of manifestation of earth consciousness, and even in parts of Asia like Cambodia, it is thought that its voluminous reproduction attracts better rains for crops.

However, not always

has it been of desirable reputation since in certain places and periods, as in medieval Britain, it has been an image of aggressiveness, violence and bestial cruelty. Anyhow, its influence predominates on concepts such as night, kindness, tenderness, spring, longevity, magic, mystery, abundance, good luck and, like any other mammal that reproduces with "ease", obviously also on fertility, and a very intense way of celebrating life.

I am no expert

but I can tell you a bit about the way the rabbit is viewed (as far as I know) in my mother culture, since I am Mexican and that is what I can contribute from. The ancient Mexicans saw in the moon a rabbit huddled; probably associating the concepts of this animal with those of that celestial body. There is also an astrological symbolism of the pre-Columbian cultures, one which I do not know in depth, but I can tell you that in the Maya and Azteca calendars, twenty signs or symbols derived from mother nature were used, and the rabbit was part of that "bestiary" (said keeping the proportions) That filled the symbols for every day, month or year; the rabbit is the eighth of them.

The folklore of Mexico

is very vast to be covered right now, however through what I will share with you, we will be able to get a glimpse to what can be heard in the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico area (adapted to the form that God gives me to understand and perform), inside of what is called "son jarocho", taken up by current generations and also sort-of-renamed "jaranero movement", due to the name of the main instrument (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarana_jarocha).
