"A person's deepest being is his Windhorse."

Is that good?

[ginevra007]

I think they are referring to ones soul. It is interesting that they call it a Windhorse, and shows how important the horse still is to them even today.

[evcelt]

Yup.

We have a book on Mongol shamanism called "Riding Windhorses"...

[ginevra007]

I should like to see that, if I may sometime.

I generally try to avoid "windy" horses.

I said RUN like the wind. ;)

Esp. when you have to braid their tails. ;)

Just so long as your deepest being isn't Amy Winehouse! (which is what it read out of the corner of my eye!)

[ginevra007]

LOL!! I see how you could have thought that. Though I'm not sure the Mongol's know who Amy Winehouse is...though they do have TV and Radio. However, some people may want a winehouse as their deepest being....

[leemoyer]

Some people's souls are indeed a hot mess.

[ginevra007]

...and some people have little bird houses in theirs. ;)

oh HELL yeah.

[lyonesse]

my windhorse wants you to know he agrees.

Re: oh HELL yeah.

[ginevra007]

*grin* I'm sure he does. You and he immediately jumped to mind when I heard this.

that's weird, i have a song called "Windhorse" by bill douglas...i think it's irish...or irish-y sounding ^_^'

[ginevra007]

Not surprising really if you think about it. The Irish love horses too. If memory serves one their goddess' Epona, was a horse goddess. ^_^

[clary]

well, at least this helps explain the title of the song more?
and who knows, maybe bill douglas meant it like the mongol windhorse?

[ginevra007]

Interesting point, he very well might have! I'd like to hear it some day.
