Down the Rabbit Hole” Day: A Celebration of Curiosity, Creation & Conscious Living

“Down the Rabbit Hole” Day: A Celebration of Curiosity, Creation & Conscious Living

Honoring May 4th, 1865 — When Alice Fell into Wonderland

"Alice fell down the rabbit hole on May 4th, 1865."— Lewis Carroll (as remembered through time)


A mystical forest path
"Alice ran without knowing where the path would lead… only that it was hers to follow."

A Date Worth Celebrating

Every year on May 4th, dreamers, seekers, and curious souls gather to honor the magical moment Alice tumbled into Wonderland—a world of paradox, transformation, and deep self-discovery. While fictional, the symbolism is profound, especially for us at Rabbit Hole Collections, where this journey into the unknown is more than a story—it’s a lifestyle, a brand, and a calling.


The Man Behind the Magic: Who Was Lewis Carroll?

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was a brilliant mathematician, logician, photographer, and storyteller. Born in 1832, he created the beloved tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland after a rowing trip with a young girl named Alice Liddell in 1862. By 1865, the story was officially published—and the world has never been the same.

Why This Matters at Rabbit Hole Collections


Our entire brand is born of the Rabbit Hole metaphor. We don’t just sell crystals or offer coaching—we guide you into your own Wonderland.

Here, healing isn’t linear. Wellness is spiritual. And growth? It often starts when everything feels upside-down.


For me, the journey of Alice has always been more than just a whimsical adventure—it’s a mirror of the inner transformation we all go through. I especially connect with the film versions starring Johnny Depp, where Wonderland feels darker, deeper, and more symbolic. In those versions, Alice isn’t just curious—she’s courageous. She questions everything, loses herself, and still finds her way. That’s healing. That’s growth. That’s what Rabbit Hole Collections was born from: the idea that we must sometimes fall apart to find who we truly are. Whether it’s shadow work, spiritual awakening, or stepping into your power—this story is a reminder that the path may be wild, but it’s wildly worth it.

Our Favorite Quotes to Reflect On Today:

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
“We're all mad here.”
“Curiouser and curiouser!”
"I sometimes think of six impossible things before breakfast."

These quotes from Alice in Wonderland aren’t just whimsical—they’re deeply symbolic. “It’s no use going back to yesterday…” speaks to the reality that healing and self-growth require us to release old versions of ourselves. “We’re all mad here” is a gentle reminder that embracing our uniqueness is part of being human. When Alice exclaims, “Curiouser and curiouser!” it’s not just wonder—it’s awakening. And one of the most powerful lines, “I sometimes think of six impossible things before breakfast,” challenges us to stretch the limits of belief. It’s an invitation to dream bigger, trust the unknown, and welcome the impossible as part of our daily lives.


At Rabbit Hole Collections, we live by this energy—where curiosity is sacred and transformation begins with just one bold thought.
