Episode 132: Mythical Steeds & Horses

Magick & Alchemy

In episode 132 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew & Kristin Lisenby discuss mythical steeds and magical horses. They begin with the story of Pegasus, the horse of the gods and deliverer of inspiration. Following this winged stallion to his sacred spring on Mt. Helicon, they meet Arion and Aganippe and consider their connections to Demeter and the Muses. They also discuss Celeris, son of Pegasus, and Embarr, a guardian, guide, and companion of the goddess Niamh.
