Horses and horses in mythology
The mythological character of this animal is directly related to the deities. A horse can act as a zoomorphic image of the solar deity , or some aspect of it - rays, sunrise or dawn, speed of movement, etc.
All over the world, in legends, the sun gods and their heavenly horses, harnessed to divine harnesses and associated with the sun's rays, are alive and well. The images of morning and evening dawn as a pair of twin horses (Ashvins, Dioscuri, etc.) are often used.
Read more about this in the article “Gods of the Sun”.
This analogy manifests itself in the dual pair, turning into the white and black horses Belobog and Chernobog in Slavic mythology.
White or fiery colors were attributed to all divine beings, including zoomorphic ones, engaged in the fight against evil, so the color of the horse is decisive .
For example, the serpent fighter Saint George is depicted on a white horse. A black rider, on a black horse, is a symbol of the night, dark forces, a servant of darkness, portends troubles and death.
In Chinese culture, the horse archetype means speed in the development of events and in achieving goals. Here we must understand that this meaning has been established for a long time, when the fastest way to travel was horseback riding and horse-drawn vehicles were considered the fastest.
In the modern world, this attitude towards horses has resulted in the power of a car engine, estimated in “horsepower”.

We can highlight certain aspects that are often found in the mythology of various peoples:
- sacrifice , which was considered one of the most noble and valuable sacrifices (ancient Germans, Greeks, Romans, Siberian peoples, etc.), especially the offering of a horse's head to the gods. Horse blood was used in pagan solar holidays, in rituals of the resurrection of the Sun;
- participation in the cult of death and burial , transitions between worlds and different spaces . The symbol of a horse skull and snake is a sign of the victory of chthonic forces, death. The spirit of a slain horse accompanies the deceased to the next world, transfers him from the world of the living to the afterlife. Also, a similar ritual is used in shamanic journeys between worlds;
- horses were used in the predictive tradition - images of prophetic horses were preserved in legends and omens, and individual significant moments in their behavior were described, predicting this or that event.
Let us draw a brief conclusion about the meaning of horse symbolism , which legends have conveyed to us:
- horse mythological images are potentially positive , but it all depends on the color suit : white is the most positive, red is the maximum charisma; black – connection with the shadow part of the world;
- their energy and information is directly related to two fire signs - Leo and Sagittarius , the planets Sun and Jupiter . Let me give you an analogy: in the amazing Tarot system, the major lasso Sun , despite the fact that solar images are depicted on the card, reflects Jupiterian energies.
Phraseologisms and their meaning

Precautionary measures
Since the Horse talisman is a magical artifact, it must be treated with respect. You cannot put unnecessary things on the figurine or stain it. It is advisable to remove the object away from the edge of the surface, because if you break it, you can bring trouble to the house.
It is doubly necessary to protect paintings with horses from children. The harmony in the house will be disrupted if someone tries out their markers on the image of a horse. It is better to store the canvas behind glass, because... It is not always possible to wash away a child’s creativity.

Bridle and horseshoe - talismans
The bridle means that you are able to manage your own strength and energy, that you are skillful and organized enough to realize your desires and achieve your life goals.
It is better if you buy such a talisman for yourself, do not accept it from other people - the meaning of such a gift is to limit you, to subordinate you to your goals.
A horseshoe is a symbol of happiness and good luck, especially if you “accidentally” find it.
In this case, the horseshoe can be perceived as a sign:
- it symbolizes an open cycle - as if a situation in which you were walking in circles and could not change anything opens up and releases you to freedom - thanks to your own efforts and / or a lucky coincidence of circumstances;
- a horseshoe in the position it is hung on a nail symbolizes the Ascending Lunar Node , which in astrology is associated with the future, new life programs. This is also a very positive meaning and a sign that it is time for you to increase your awareness and change your life for the better.
How to make a talisman to attract good luck with your own hands
There are several ways to make a Horse talisman. The easiest way to make a Chinese coin is, for example, from wood. It is enough to cut out a circle, make a square hole in it and cover the remaining space with trigrams, a yin-yang sign and an image of a horse. This can be done in any way: apply drawings with ink, burn them, etc.
Another way to get a personalized talisman is to make a clay figurine. A beginner is unlikely to be able to do this, but people with experience in creating jewelry will be able to sculpt a beautiful figurine that will be saturated with their energy.
Totem
A person who has a horse totem has powerful natural energy; he can be called a “passionary” - his power is capable of changing the world and the course of events.
He is physically strong, powerful, hefty, loves to move and speed. The characteristic also applies to women - these are the ladies about whom they say “they will stop a galloping horse”...
Outwardly, a person may have a thick mane of hair, powerful legs, wide strong hips, an elongated face, large teeth (the type of face that is called “horse-like”).
The man is a stallion, bright, often loves sports, especially those related to running, horse riding, and racing. Has high sexuality, powerful potency, and endurance.
Since the horse totem primarily depends on the suit, let’s take a closer look at its male varieties depending on the color of a person’s hair:
Blonde - for all his external superiority and personal strength, other people love him and know how to use him. He often needs guidance or guidance for business - he needs an ambitious and pragmatic business partner, otherwise he will work all his life for someone else, and not for himself. In relationships - faithful and constant, he will do everything for his partners, for his wife and children.
The brunette is the gloomiest of the horse types; he shows himself well as a low- and middle-level manager, an excellent “engine of progress.” For others it may be that very “dark horse”, capable of outflanking rivals at the turn. His manifestations may seem strange and eccentric to others. Tends to “fight off the herd.” Has problems with loved ones - may leave home and family. But then nostalgia will overcome him - and he will return.
Redhead (golden blond, brown hair) - ideal in creative professions, has willpower and charisma, and is able to lead. He is loving and optimistic, but in personal relationships he is passionate and unpredictable, and can rush from side to side.
A woman is beautiful in a special way, attracts with her energy, but does not have depth, there seems to be no “second bottom” in her, there is no “zest”-mystery. Quite open and sincere, easy to communicate, not ambitious, hardly capable of coquetry or intrigue.
It’s difficult for her to organize something because she’s spontaneous: she doesn’t bother, she reacts quickly to immediate stimuli, if she wanted to, she did it, if she didn’t want to, she didn’t do it.
In her youth, she values her freedom and independence most of all, calmly gets along with men, and calmly leaves them.
As an adult, she tends to turn into a draft horse, who carries everything on herself: work, family, children (“me and the horse, me and the bull, me and the woman and the man”). He finds relaxation in travel, loves tourism and sports and companies associated with it.
If your main totem is a horse , then you need to feel and constantly use your energy, live here and now.
At first, it is important for you to simply love, run, sing, dance, express yourself freely and directly. Feel what you are capable of .
Remember that your sexual energy is a magical force and a powerful engine that is used in different areas of your life.
A little later, you need to learn to be more conscious and comprehend your individuality, to include your creative abilities in society.
Ask yourself the question more often: “Who am I doing this for?”, learn to express your true self.
Share your strength and energy with partners who are deeper and smarter than you, who know how to work with information better than you, and who think more strategically.
Learn to use the wisdom of the annual solar cycles in your life, this will help maintain your natural strength into old age.
Signs in dreams
Pay attention to the appearance of the image of a horse in your dreams - to their condition, behavior.
It may signal to you the need to now show your elemental power and get out of certain restrictions that have been imposed on you - on your own or by life circumstances.
Perhaps it's time to move, to include your own energy in more ambitious projects and tasks - especially if you see a horse in a stall, cage , tied in one way or another.
If in a dream the horse is weak and suffering , this indicates that your mental energy or emotions are in the same state. You need to take your personal needs more seriously or there will be trouble.
Check - maybe there are factors in your life that do not allow your strength to flow easily and freely. Become aware of them, free yourself from those that no longer work for you. Don't limit yourself to other people's beliefs and expectations.
It may be the image of a horse - your sexual energy reminds you of yourself, of the need for active realization.
A black horse in a dream may represent a part of your shadow self, or a part of your personality that you usually prefer to hide.
White color is associated with an increase in your mood or spiritual aspirations; it is possible that a period of development of intuition is beginning.
A horse that speaks human language is obviously a manifestation of your Totem as a spiritual guide. He brought you a message from your unconscious.
Horseshoes in a dream are a symbol of successful circumstances, a sign that good luck is already on the way to resolving issues related to personal health, relationships and, possibly, business.
Listen to yourself, react to the feelings and emotions that this image evokes in you, and the solution will come.

How to arrange talismans according to Feng Shui to attract money?
According to the teachings of the Eastern sages, energy in the surrounding space does not circulate chaotically - it obeys strict laws. Therefore, when purchasing talismans, it is worth taking into account the favorable and negative Feng Shui zones in the apartment. So, where is the best place to place a horse figurine?
The southeastern sector of the home is the so-called “money” area. By placing a horse figurine there, you will activate financial flows, attract wealth to your home and ensure career growth. A horse made of natural amber will be especially effective - the golden gem has long been famous as a symbol of prosperity and luck.
An amulet placed in the south patronizes those who dream of success in life, recognition, growth and development. It will help you effortlessly find a common language with people, relieve you of fears, doubts and anxieties, and allow you to complete any task with enthusiasm, creativity and consistently high results.
But be careful - horses-symbols of Feng Shui should under no circumstances stand “facing” doors or windows. Then all the positive energy will disappear, and the person will feel lethargic, apathetic, inert and anxious. Also, you should not place such figurines in the bedroom - their energy can harm normal rest, cause nightmares and insomnia.
