It's the first of June!
"Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit!" πππ
This tradition, believed to have originated in the UK, is more than just a quirky superstition. Folklore suggests that by uttering these words first thing in the morning on the first of the month, we invite good fortune into our lives. The idea is rooted in the belief that rabbits, with their quick reflexes and keen senses, symbolize protection and vigilanceβqualities that bring safety and prosperity.
Some say "Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits" or "White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit," while others follow it with "Pinch, punch, first of the month, white rabbit!" Each variation carries the same intent: to ward off negativity and welcome a month filled with positive energy.
In my family, this tradition is a cherished way to start freshβa small ritual that connects us to something greater and brings a renewed sense of hope.
So, here's to a month filled with good luck for one and all. β€πππ

***And... if "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" isn't the first thing you say on the first of the month... some believe if you say it backwards, "tibbar, tibbar, tibbar" you correct things and can try again. π
