Meaning of the symbols Celtic Horse

Symbol of speed, beauty and sexual power, the horse also took powerful religious connotations among the Celts, so that his pictures abound in their art.

The animal was closely tied to the sun god, who was often depicted riding a horse - see the Archangel Michael in many works - in the columns of Gaul and central Europe, but the most famous horse was without doubt the divinity of the Goddess fertility Epona, patron saint of knights; iron Age coins bear the image of amazons or women charioteer.
