The Luna Collection’ is based around animals associated with the moon, in 12 of the full moons that happen through the year. 
The Sugar Moon happens in March and is all about the Earth awakening from the winter into the spring! It’s also sometimes called the Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing by night. It’s more commonly called the Sugar Moon as this is the time for tapping maple trees. More southern tribes called this the Worm Moon after the earthworm casts that appear as the ground thaws. March is also peak breeding  season for the Hare which has a strong connection to the Moon. The hare is associated with moon goddesses, including the Egyptian Isis and the Anglo-Saxon Eostre who lent her name to Easter, which coincides with the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. For Eostre the hare was sacred, but gradually and sadly this has become the much commercialised, fluffy Easter bunny!
