What Is the Secret Of The White Horse Symbolism?

The White Horse of Revelations and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.



REV 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

REV 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

REV 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Hello, Anders Lindman.

I like that song.... But why did post this video? Did you want to say that Americans are afraid to get out of their cars?

The Coat of Arms of Moscow depicts a horseman with a spear in his hand slaying a dragon. The horseman is often informally identified with Saint George. The heraldic emblem of Moscow has been an integral part of the Coat of Arms of Russia since the 16th century. Its three colours – blue, red, and white – are believed to have inspired the colours of the Flag of Russia.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Coat_of_Arms_of_Moscow.png/505px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Moscow.png

The emblem had its origins in a Byzantine tradition of depicting a patron saint of the ruling monarch on his seal and coins. Yaroslav the Wise was the first Russian ruler whose patron saint was Saint George. Accordingly, he built several cities and churches in the name of that saint.
Saint George was also the patron saint of his great grandson, Yury Dolgoruky, who founded the city of Moscow. Yury is thought to have honored his patron saint on his coins which represent a standing warrior holding a sword in his right hand.

I don't think it's origins is an inference to a 'white race' of humans. Maybe that's where some people's mind's are dwelling to.

I wonder if there is an older tale about a white winged horse than 'Pegasus'. It's most likely that the new testament is recycled allegories of ancient mythologies (primarily Greek myths and tales) for the use of the Romanization of non Roman peoples.

I still think all religions have an astronomical/astrological foundation. But not all doctrines. How old is the Huffington horse?

[thirdwave]

they have many white horses carved into the hills of avesbury... mmmm

[dondaz]

The Uffington White Horse

The Uffington white horse is undoubtedly Britain’s oldest and most famous hill figure, which has recently been dated at 3000 years old by the Oxford Archeological Unit. 1000 years older than previously thought. This the oldest hill figure and inspired the creation of many of the other white horses although and particularly its closeness to Uffington castle may have inspired the creation of the first Westbury horse by Bratton camp, which also faced right. The earliest reference to it was in in the 1070's when white horse hill was mentioned, the first actual reference to the horse itself was in 1190.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/dazp5/uffingtonwhitehorse.jpg

The horse is unique in its features, the horse being a very long sleek disjointed figure and this leads some to believe it represents the mythical dragon that St. George slain on the adjacent Dragon hill or even his horse. However others believe it represents a Celtic horse goddess Epona, known to represent fertility, healing and death. It may have been created to be worshipped in religious ceremonies. Similar horses feature in Celtic jewelry and there is also evidence for horse worship in the Iron Age.

The Scouring of the White Horse.

The scouring of the horse is believed to have been a religious festival in later times, giving more creditability to the figure being of religious origin. Others believe that it commemorates Alfred’s victory over the Danes in 861 AD or that it was created in the seventh century by Hengist in the image of a horse on his standard, however the recent scientific data upon its age seem to discount these more modern theories. Several Iron age coins bearing representations of horses very similar to the Uffington horse have been found and would support the theory of the horse being from an earlier period than the seventh or eight centuries.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/dazp5/uff03.jpg

Also unusual is the fact that the horse faces to the right while all other horses and other animal hill figures face left, with three exceptions, the very first Westbury horse, the Osmington horse and the more modern Bulford Kiwi. The earliest record of the white horse is from Abingdon Abbey in the late 12th century, although white horse hill was mentioned a century earlier. There are many records after this period with a very good historical record from the 18th century in which the horse has changed little in appearance from then to the present day.

The image is a stylised representation of a horse (some would say dragon) some 374 feet in length, and is thought to date back as far as 1000BC in the late Bronze Age. Similar images have been found depicted on coins from that period, and it is thought that the figure represents a horse goddess connected with the local Belgae tribe. The goddess is generally believed to be one form of Epona, worshiped throughout the Celtic world.

Traditionally the horse is attributed to a number of famous figures, one of these is King Alfred, who is said to have had it constructed to commemorate his victory over the Danes in 871. The horse is also said to been cut by Hengist, the leader of the Anglo Saxon horde in the 5th century AD. Another piece of folklore suggests that the figure is actually a representation of the dragon killed by St George, an event thought to have taken place on nearby Dragon Hill.

Dragon Hill
Dragon Hill is a low flat-topped mound situated in the valley below the White Horse. In legend it is the place where St George slew the dragon, its blood spilling on the hilltop and leaving forever a bare white patch where no grass can grow. Some suggest that the horse is a representation of St George's steed or even of the slain dragon itself.

Of course the White Horse is the Dragon.

How can White Horse be a Dragon? Where did you read about it, paolo?



REV 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

So, does it mean that Dragons live in Heaven?
I am confused here... :confused:

How can White Horse be a Dragon? Where did you read about it

This is Dragon Hill and is said to be the site where St. George, England's patron saint, slew the dragon. The blood from the dying dragon so poisoned the ground beneath that grass never grows there leaving the chalk scar we see today


Crowning White Horse Hill is the Iron Age hillfort known as Uffington Castle. A simple design of one rampart and ditch the castle at 857ft (262m), it forms the highest point in Oxfordshire. The original west entrance remains, whilst smaller entrances through the south and north-east ramparts were created by the Romano-British during their occupation of the site.

Between the castle and the Horse lie a number of burial mounds, the most obvious being the Pillow Mound. These date from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages and are unusual in that they were reused for Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon burials.

Well, than it proves that White Horse is NOT a Dragon.

I think Paolo got it wrong who she (he?) said that "Of course the White Horse is the Dragon".
St. George actually RIDES a White Horse to slain a Dragon...

Now here's a good bit of info I found:

The White Dragon is symbolic of the English Folk; it is also symbolic of the Land of England, named thus by the English Folk. There seems to be some confusion as to the origins of this ancient symbol. The wind-sock version of the White Dragon (the one used at the Battle of Hastings) would seem to have its origins in Scythia. Since the alternative name of the Scythians was the Saka or Sakae this may well indicate that this idea is correct. It would thus fit the Sons of Sak (Sons of the Sword - Sak-Sons or Saxons) perfectly. It may well be that it was Scythian mercenaries who introduced this into the Roman Legions, and it is thus not of Roman origins at all.

The White Dragon

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/dazp5/whitedragonjpg.w300h294.jpg

We must now look at the name "Dragon" to see what this symbol really is. This term has the following roots -

Dra = To twist, to turn, to wind. (Same as the Root Tri = "three").

Gon = To generate. This is the equivalent root of the English Ken-Rune which has Fire as one of its meanings. Another meaning is Serpent.

The term "Dragon" thus means a Coiled Serpent; strictly speaking this is the Winged Coiled Serpent. It is thus a snake with wings. The "legs" are an addition to this symbol. We can thus count the Dragon & Wyvern as both similar symbols of the Winged Coiled Serpent. The former has 2 legs and the latter 4 legs, and I shall show why this is later.

The Golden Dragon was the symbol of the West Saxons whose Royal House is associated with the Stone of Ing. This is the same symbol as the White Dragon - a Solar Symbol. The Golden Winged Wyrm of Germany is mentioned in the Welsh Mabinogian. This was the symbol raised on the English ships as they invaded this land.

The White Horse is also a Solar symbol and has the same symbolism as the White Dragon. This was the banner of the Divine Twins - Hengest & Horsa - the Horse Twins. These are mythological figures who appear as founders of a culture - see also Romulus & Remus (Rome), the Aswins (Aryan India), and Castor & Pollox (Greece). They are associated with the White Horse Stone in Kent.

The Wyvern - This is a 2-legged version of the Dragon, and is used as a version of the White Dragon by the English Movement. The name "Wyvern" may well stem from Wif-Earn which is the "Eagle-Woman" or "Eagle-Wife". This "Eagle-Woman" is symbolic of the White Lady who can be found at places of origins. When we see that her symbolism occurs in the Arms of Nurenberg ("Berg of the Norns") we may well equate her with our own Wyrd.

In 1066 a Norwegian Army invaded the North of England; one of the warriors in the army of the King of Norway reported a dream he had before he left for England. This was of a "witch-wife" standing upon an island (England) with a fork in one hand and a trough in the other. She used the fork to rake up the corpses, and the trough was filled with the blood of the slain warriors. We could dismiss this if it did not fit with the figure of "Britannia" holding a Trident (fork) and a shield (trough). Since the Norns are associated with the Valkyries (Waelcyrge) then again we see a connection with Wyrd.

Did you know there is a school called Dragon School?

And the council that runs that school is called Vale of White Horse District Council?

There is definately a link from Horse to Dragon, I find this facinating and will post my findings here.

[dondaz]

What is true is that Geoffrey of Monmouth named the White Dragon as representative of the English. In the Prophecies of Merlin and Historia Regum Britanniae, the White Dragon is referenced as fighting the Red(Welsh) Dragon. So certainly from the Welsh point of view, the English had a White Dragon. Where did this idea come from? Now, did the Anglo-Saxons use it? No-one knows. We may never know, but consider that the Wessex flag was a Golden Wyvern(two-legged Dragon) and the Kent flag was a White Horse.
I've seen the flag used in film footage from WW1 (in street processions to get people to sign up for the forces), so it?s definitely out there and has iconic significance. Which is why I would disagree that is newly fabricated. Also the story of St George and how he killed the dragon could easily relate to post 1066 England in which the Normans could only control the people through domination which the building of all those castles signifies. If viewed from that perspective the St George Cross is an emblem of propaganda and of oppression that has lost most of its meanings since that time.
If the White Dragon isn't a icon of the English will someone then please tell the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury. This is a direct quote from his official website and concerns his official investment robes. "The clasp that holds the two sides of the cope together bears a jewel made by jeweller, Rhiannon of Tregaron. The design shows the white dragon of England and the red dragon of Wales greeting each other in peace across the cross of Canterbury.
The English people have for thousands of years been associated with Dragons. No doubt many different shapes, sizes and colours. One way or another, of all the different dragons it is with the White Dragon that this association has been most enduring.

Also, check out this lay line, which is, I believe, part of the larger history behind the horse/dragon.

[mentalogirl]

In Brazilian Shamanic religions people who manifest spirits from other dimensions in their bodies are called 'white horses for spirits'.
Also,David Lynch's film "Fire Walk With Me" has a scene at the end in which Leland Palmer's image dissoves into a white horse and then into the spirit of 'Bob',which Laura Palmer always refered to in her diary.
In the story,Laura was sexually abused by Leland,her father,but would only see 'Bob'.The subtext was also that Leland was possessed by 'Bob',unknowingly.

The White Horse is also a Solar symbol and has the same symbolism as the White Dragon.

There are some deliberate mistakes in that article....
The Scythians (future Russians) actually FOUGHT A DRAGON.

As you can see on these two pictures they fought a Dragon then and now...

So, this proves that a White Horse and a Dragon is NOT one and the same thing. Correct?

Dondaz, where can I read more about that legend?
You see, according to the article you posted no one really knows why it is there:


The stylised form of the White Horse, an icon of the English landscape, has been a subject of discussion since the 17th century. Written records date back to the 12th century but do not give proof of the Horse's age or why it was there.

The white horse = memory?

"The Christian Bible refers to the White Horse which appears in the sky.

Being a Greek document, one can easily understand that the Bible is referring to Pegasus. The one and only white horse whose location is the sky.

But Pegasus is not limited to the sky.

In the human body the place of memory is called "hippocampus"

The word hippocampus means sea horse. The father of Pegasus was Poseidon the God of the Sea.

In addition, Stedmans medical dictionary defines the hippocampus of the brain as a white eminence.

Thus Pegasus is the white sea horse of Revelation and the white sea horse in the sky, and in addition, the white sea horse of memory within you.

What makes this even more interesting is the fact that Pegasus was sacred to the Muses.

The mother of the Muses is Mnemosyne who is the Goddess of memory .

Pegasus which is the hippocampus of the brain responsible for memory.

Pegasus connected to Mnemosyne who is the Goddess of memory."

There is no way that image is a dragon,... People back then really knew their dragons and im sure would have depicted quite different from what was commonly percieved as a horse image... It is propably commermoration of the horse that St.George(or whoever he was) rode in to battle withe the dragon... Maybe the mighty steed had been sacrificed so that StGeorge could chance the killing blow of the dragon?.. THats my thoughts anyway:D

Hippocampus


A structure found in the temporal of the forebrain. The hippocampus is a component of the limbic system and is important in the formation of memories and other higher functions.

http://www.brainexplorer.org/glossary/hippocampus.shtml


The hippocampus is a part of the brain located in the medial temporal lobe (humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain).
It forms a part of the limbic system and plays a part in memory and spatial navigation. The name derives from its curved shape in coronal sections of the brain, which resembles a seahorse (Greek: hippos = horse, kampi = curve).
In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage; memory problems and disorientation appear among the first symptoms. Damage to the hippocampus can also result from oxygen starvation (anoxia) and encephalitis.

Long term memory

Presented by: Gerald Lai, Scott Nisbitt, Ed Fong, Phat Ha

Overview

Long term memory (LTM) was once thought of as a huge database (Allard, 2001) where information was simply filed away in the same manner as a filing cabinet. LTM is often studied with normal people to assess its limits and characteristics. In order to determine the neural pathways to LTM, however, we must start with a brain that is damaged and then assess the deficiencies that individual faces with respect to LTM. This deficiency may arise from an accident, pathology, or in the case of animal models, intentionally inflicted. Today LTM in humans is believed to be partitioned into specialised modules:

White - Victory;

Red - Blood spilled on the battlefield;

Black - Desolation;

Pale - Paleness of skin in death, decay.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the forces of man's destruction described in the Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation. The four horsemen are traditionally named after the powers they represent: Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.

However, this is slightly at odds with the conventional interpretation of the Bible, which actually only directly names the fourth: "Death".
