Description
In both Germanic and Celtic legends, white or gray horses (which are young white horses as white horses are born dark and gradually lighten) play a significant role. They carry the soul between our reality and another world. In particular, white (gray) mares are mentioned in myths and folklore. The English word "nightmare," literally translated as "night mare," originated from the belief that a mare carries the human soul during sleep. In Norwegian, the word for nightmare is "Mareritt," meaning "riding on a mare." Mare is a female spirit from the underworld that comes at night and sits by a sleeping person.
