Symbols in the picture

  1. Scales Held in One Hand

    The rabbit at the center holds a pair of scales in one hand. This signifies an attitude of weighing what to share according to fair standards rather than emotion. It symbolizes that giving, too, must contain balance and justice.

  2. Hand Offering a Gold Coin

    With the other hand, the rabbit drops a pentacle downward to give it away. This represents the generosity of letting what one has flow to those who need it. It symbolizes the virtue of circulation through sharing rather than clutching.

  3. Blue Rabbit Reaching Out Its Hands

    On the left, a rabbit in blue clothing kneels slightly with both hands together, ready to receive. This signifies the position of asking for help and accepting it gratefully. It shows that receiving is also a rightful part of the cycle.

  4. Kneeling Brown Rabbit

    The brown-clothed rabbit on the right also lowers its body and waits to receive. The presence of two recipients symbolizes that giving should reach many people evenly. It represents a sense of equity that does not favor one side.

  5. Six Pentacles in the Air

    Six gold coins float in a semicircle in the sky overhead. This signifies abundant resources filled to overflowing and prosperity enough to share. It symbolizes that generosity arises from a position with the means to give.

  6. Generous Green Cloak

    The giving rabbit stands in a green, star-patterned cloak with a spacious, open bearing. Green signifies prosperity, while the open posture means an open heart. It symbolizes an attitude of spreading abundance outward rather than holding it alone.

  7. Bright Fields and Cottage

    Green fields and a cozy cottage form the background beneath bright sunlight. This signifies a warm and peaceful world where sharing takes place. It shows that giving is a blessing that nourishes the entire community.
