Pagans in particular held the belief that the hare moon was a promise of growth, re-birth, and new beginnings - likely due to the hare's associations with high reproductive rates. This imagery was later adopted by various religions. In fact, the "Three Hares" design can be found in a wide range of locations - from cathedrals in Britain, to Buddhist caves in China, and synagogues in Poland.

The hare moon's promise of regeneration explains its role in CAOS, as Sabrina's coven utilise the celebration to strengthen their waning powers. They originally plan to drink "celestial blood" in order to restore their magic, but when they find that there isn't enough blood to go round, Hilda suggests applying it to their skin and bathing in the light of the hare moon instead.

Despite the Pagans' attempts to thwart the coven's plan, the magic of the hare moon proves successful, and the Spellmans' powers are restored. This isn't the first time that the show has incorporated genuine rituals from folklore. Despite being a dark comedy, CAOS is often very thorough in its research, and draws many of its storylines from real-world history.

In the case of Paganism, Lisa Soper - the show's production designer - is actually a practicing Pagan. She has explained that even minute details - such as spells carved over doorways on set - are grounded in genuine mythology. In part 2, for example, The Academy celebrates Lupercalia.

The Celts worshiped the hare and would not eat its meat nor kill them except at Beltane festival 1st May, marking the arrival of summer. Queen Boudicca is said to have prayed to a hare Goddess before going into battle with the Romans. It is suggested that the Hare is symbolic of our relationship with the land and could be identified with our need to temper our use of the natural environment.

Page 2. The Full Moon in April is the Pink Moon , from the pink flowers — phlox — that bloom in the early spring. It is also known as the Paschal Moon because it is used to calculate the date for Easter. The Full Moon for the month of July is called Buck Moon to signify the new antlers that emerge on deer buck's foreheads around this time. The Full Moon for August is called Sturgeon Moon because of the large number of fish in the lakes where the Algonquin tribes fished.

Most years it is in September, but around every three years, it is in October. The Harvest Moon is the only Full Moon name which is determined by the equinox rather than a month.

Every three years, the Hunter's Moon is also the Harvest Moon. Traditionally, people in the Northern Hemisphere spent the month of October preparing for the coming winter by hunting, slaughtering and preserving meats for use as food.
