With a horse, we can go further than we would on our own. A horse is a partner, a companion. The horse is enhanced by his contact with humans, and the humans are improved by the partnership with the horse. Together, we are better.
Horse is power, and helps you journey in the physical world as well as the spiritual world.
Having the horses become lava horses, means that there is no way they will be tamed. What is your relationship to the lava horses – are they a global event, of which you are just an observer? Or are they personal – climbing up through the mountains of your inner being? Can you tame them with a word – or are they a force which will continue regardless of what you choose or say?
The horses are ancient friends of humans. With a horse, human can travel further – it is a power, it is a relationship. With a human, a horse develops its intelligence and skill and can be taught things it would not naturally know in its herd. Horse is sacred in nearly every culture, and the relationship with the horse – is about movement, going far, but the most important part is the relationship.
You hear of horse whisperers, who can talk to horses, using body language, and communicate safety and care to the horse. This gentle relationship with others is an essential part of your journey. Horse means nobility, freedom, power, grace, and beauty.
In Runes, the horse is the symbol of “two can go better and faster than one.” It speaks of marriage, of partnership, of joining together to accomplish a goal or complete a journey.
In shamanism, Horse represents the power of the wind. He runs like the wind, wild and free – harnessed by humans, he becomes more intelligent, and humans become more mobile. Horse balances your ego and earthly consciousness; staying grounded while you learn about your higher Self.
The Horse pulls the Chariot of the Sun, and in many ancient tribes, it is a symbol of fertility, sexuality, sacred kingship, and a vehicle to journey to and from the Otherworld. Horse famously speaks to tremendous inner strength and persistence.
On horseback, you led an army of male warriors! You passed your horse-partner off to one of them, and went into the cave to the Underworld, where your Panther awaits.
This sounds like strong male support! It is either within you – your own male side – or without you – men around you. Likely, when your inner male is strong, you attract strong male figures to support you in the Ordinary world, too.
Just a comment about the beach. The beach is a sacred joining of earth, sea and sky. It speaks of the beginnings of journeys, of testing your edges and limits, and of opening to new, vast expanses.
It is at the corners – the corner between earth and sky, the corner between sky and sea, the corner between sea and earth – that the doors to the Non Ordinary realms open to you.
Do you remember the time of day when you were riding on the beach?
Also – another rune – Riding.
Raidho – RidingThis is the rune of Ritual, of Ceremony. Of repeating a thing until it becomes more true, and building on that ritual, that repetition, to strength.
Riding is the Chariot of the sun. The sun courses across the sky, lower in winter, higher in summer – wheeling on a path which is deigned, and will happen to the Right Pattern. Ritual, Riding, is Right Pattern. When repeated, it becomes powerful. To learn a thing, you must repeat it 300 times. To master it, 3000.
Ritual, Riding, Ceremony, repetition, will serve you well.
Horse is sacred to so many cultures. It is strength in battle, the ability to travel great distances across land, and the partnership of the two together synergising – two together are greater than two apart. The relationship with horse is that which will carry you into your growth journey.
Symbolically, it is motivation and drive, the power to break through barriers, as well as appetite for freedom. He speaks of passionate energy, strong emotions and passionate desires, and most importantly, a balance between your wild self, and your tamed self. In harmony, these two parts of yourself can be the catalyst for renewal.
