we raise a few rabbits for meat. today we humanely and respectfully harvested some of them. So when they were being processed I asked if we were keeping the feet. The response I got was Do you want them? The person that was helping us goes âyou should do something witchy with them.â (him not knowing of my broom in the closet lol) Why yes I should I thought to myself knowing that he was only kidding.
So do any of you use rabbit feet? I was thinking like lucky charms amulets or somethingâŚ
I have a memory that my grandmother had a lucky rabbitâs foot, I think it was on a keyring, back in the dark ages of my childhood in the UK. Itâs not something I would consider for myself though.
Why not No idea if youâd need to do something taxidermy-adjacent with them, donât think the flesh will keep very well as it is.
Could also do something with the bones, to keep the spirit of the rabbit with you. Like throwing them for divination. Rabbit bones might work well for lottery and other gambling
I had one when I was quite young. Liked the soft fur, but otherwise, I wasnât all that impressed with it as some form of lucky charm. That was just me, though. I didnât know much about the life process or deeper meanings of a rabbit.
How do you feel about them? What do they mean to you?
Since you raised the rabbits, you could keep the feet as memories of their personalities. They could offer their energies to your work as Spirit Guides or Familiars. If you were to cast a patronus charm, like in Harry Potter, would the energy take the form of a rabbit for you?
@Artemisia throws bones. She may have more ideas of preservation and cleaning for you, if youâre interested.
I have used rabbit skin as a canvas for artwork. It was already preserved when I obtained it.
Whatever you choose, may they help, guide, and protect you.
I found this guide on luck rabbit feet. Im not sure I will make the finished product like she did. Im going to try the preserving method though.How to DIY a Lucky Rabbit's Foot
I feel like now is not the time to craft anything with them. I will know when it is. I do feel like tm supposed to keep them though.
