Part 5 overall in our series on magic. Perfect for people not particularly drawn to horses, and potentially charged for those who are---well, there's a vital energy in there for all of us, and it can feel threatening. The horse is dangerous wisdom embodied, and the magic and mystery of horses, the wisdom and wildness of horses, challenges the whole of the dominant culture. The horse actively rebelled against the spread of conquest consciousness on Turtle Island, but this more material expression of the horse's power doesn't capture the fullness of the dangerous wisdom the horse presents. The most potent magic and mystery of the horse relates to the soul and the spiritual dimension. We explore how we might open ourselves to this wisdom and wildness, this magic, mystery, and medicine, and how it might relate to the history of the horse in the dominant culture and also in the wider community of life.
