Meaning

horse, paired horses

Horse, paired horses. Horse and rider — partnership in motion.

Upright

upright · core

Partnership, trust, and harmonious movement. Horse and rider move as one. Teamwork and loyalty propel you forward; you are not riding alone.

Reversed

reversed · shadow

Distrust and disharmony. A partnership is out of sync. Restlessness without direction wastes precious energy; the horse pulls one way, you the other.

In a reading

past · present · future · pair

Past: a partnership that moved you forward. Present: trust your collaborator. Future: a joint venture succeeds. Walk-pair with Raidho (the road) and Gebo (the binding gift).

Norse lore

mythos

In Norse tradition twin horses were sacred to the gods of light. Ehwaz is the rune of the bonded pair — Sleipnir and his rider, Skinfaxi pulling the sun. Two beings working as one is older magic than either alone.
