I'm Not Wiccan, but...

You don't need to be a Wiccan to celebrate The Eight Sabbaths. I live in Central America, not even remotely close to the US or Europe, and I don't experience the changing seasons described by the Sabbaths. Moreover, I am not a direct descent from Western Europeans, my blood is half black, half white. I come from a long line of witches from my mother's side (white, Western European) and I chose to honor those roots by practicing the Craft and observing the high holidays. This being said, it's okay to honor the Goddess and God if you feel this is what you want and if you feel it's right for you. Imbolc is a time of new beginnings and initiations, use this time to initiate yourself on the path of magic and make a commitment to yourself to practice and enlighten others. Blessed be.

As I wrote, Fabler. It was "once believed". This was because ducks, and other fowl, would often lay eggs in the shallow "set" where hares live. or rather, sleep. Hares do not live in burrows as rabbits do. They live, and sleep, in the open!
It was also believed that "hares" box. This is not true. The "boxing" is merely a female fighting off a male that she doesn't want to mate with.
