It's the first of the month, so "Rabbit Rabbit!"

I love history and exploring the interconnectedness of all things.

Last month, we explored the origins of April Fools' Day.

So this month, in addition to sending you wishes of prosperity and good luck by saying "Rabbit Rabbit," let's explore what this means and its origins.

"Rabbit Rabbit"

Every month I'm spouting off "Rabbit Rabbit" to people... usually they don't know what I'm talking about, but dig it once I explain...

Saying "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first day of the month is a longstanding tradition believed to bring good luck and blessings.

While its origins, which are somewhat unclear and shrouded in mystery, has deep-rooted connections to folklore and and superstition, with variations found in cultures around the world.

One theory suggests that "Rabbit Rabbit" dates back to early Celtic traditions, where rabbits were considered symbols of fertility, abundance, and renewal.

By invoking the name of this auspicious creature - saying "Rabbit Rabbit" - at the start of each month, people hoped to attract prosperity and blessings for the days ahead.

In some Native American cultures, rabbits were revered as messengers of the Great Spirit, bringing guidance and wisdom to those who paid attention to their movements.

Saying "Rabbit Rabbit" was believed to honor these sacred beings and invite their blessings into one's life.

In the realm of spirituality, rabbits are often associated with intuition and sensitivity. Their keen senses and ability to navigate both above and below ground symbolize the balance between the physical and spiritual realms.

Saying "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first day of the month is not only a whimsical tradition but also a reminder to stay attuned to our inner wisdom and connect with the unseen forces guiding us on our journey.

So on that note, "Rabbit Rabbit!"
