It seems as though the commonly associated animal with witchcraft or witches are black cats or cats in general but let me tell you a little bit about rabbits and their magickal associations, plus some superstitions about rabbits.
Traditionally, rabbits are the most prominent animal that is associated with witchcraft, but cats have since taken their place.
Rabbits are associated with lunar energy, luck, hidden knowledge, divination, love, creativity, success, sensitivity, agility, swiftness, spontaneity, abundance, rebirth, renewal, transformation, and fertility.
In some folklore, it is said that witches would transform into rabbits as a disguise due to their elusive and swift characteristics.
Rabbits are still considered to be a common familiar for witches.
Rabbits are symbols that represent various goddesses, such as Artemis, Hecate Cerridwen, Freyja, Holda, Kalta, Ostara, and Eostre.
One of the classic 48 constellations as named by Ptolemy is Lepus, the hare.
Rabbits are associated with spring, the vernal equinox, and the sabbat Ostara due to the fact that cold weather is fading and flowers are beginning to bloom.
While rabbits are associated with luck, it’s not inherently good or bad luck - it can be either depending on the circumstances. Some superstitions say that if a black rabbit crosses your path, you’ll have good luck, and if a white rabbit crosses your path, you’ll have bad luck.
Other superstitions state that rabbits can dispel negativity, cleanse, and break spells or wards.
Rabbit’s hind feet, specifically the left one, are said to be lucky when carried on one’s person. (No, I do not condone the unethical harvest of any animal parts)
