About This Book

The Lady of the Hare is both a fascinating account of dream therapy and a rich 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 examines the meaning of the hare across the mythology of Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt — tracing its many manifestations as trickster-hero, lunar goddess, Buddhist symbol of spiritual transformation, and the Easter Rabbit of the Christian tradition.
