| Sea-Pegasus |
The winged Sea-Pegasus has horse's hooves on its forelegs, but the back parts of a fish.
The seahorse in its many mythical forms (not the tiny seahorse we know) was often called up
by Neptune when this sea god struck the ocean with his trident, creating storms and
foam-capped waves.
The winged Sea-Pegasus represents the inborn need of humans to seek spiritual solutions to
intense emotional problems. Pegasus may represent the desire to transcend the physical and
intellect in the search for spiritual growth, but Sea-Pegasus symbolizes our desire to transcend the
controlling, but subtle, grasp of emotions which keep us locked into a series of lives and problems.
Winged sea-horses can help you to escape dangerous and/or limiting emotional entanglements.

| Sleipnir |
Norse-Germanic myths tell of a wonderful, mystical horse which belonged to the god
Odhinn or Wodan. Sleipnir had eight legs, was a cloud-gray, and, although he did not have wings, could ride
over water or in the air, and pull almost any weight. He was a symbol of death and the journey into the
Underworld.
Sleipnir is a mythological symbol of both the human fear of and natural attraction to the astral journey
at the death of the body. Each time we go on a controlled astral journey, we are practicing for the last
astral journey we will take in every lifetime.
This magickal horse can help you make astral contact with deceased friends, loved ones, and even distant ancestors.
You can also call upon Sleipnir for help in facing your own mortality or the impending death of a loved one,
or when you need guidance for facing your shadow-self.
