Hemera
The white mountain/arctic hare (Lepus timidus) is the guardian of the Swords. At first it may seem odd that the timid hare is guarding the swords but it makes perfect sense when you think about it. The hare is perfectly adapted to winter and it thrives in the cold. Its fur and nutrition and life cycles are all in perfect sync with the seasons. It is quiet and calm and totally unafraid of the Sword of Winter.
The landscape looks barren but there are patches of grass here and there, waiting for the sun to get stronger and reminding us that the seasons turn. The sun is behind the sword and illuminating the sky, which looks like more snow will soon be falling. There is a red ruby on the sword, and there are forms on the sword that remind the female and male genitals. There is a balance of yin and yang.
