Question: Tell me about horses and spirituality in Mongolia
The horse has long been a symbol of spiritual significance in Mongolia. It is particularly important to the people of the Mongolian Steppe where horses are a necessary part of everyday life for both transportation and subsistence. The horse is also associated with strength and resilience, as it has helped Mongolians survive in a harsh landscape. Horses are seen as a link between the natural world and the spiritual one, thus representing the balance between the two. In shamanic ceremonies, horses transport chamans to the spirit world through their ability to traverse different realms. Horses are also thought to help spiritual practitioners, in Mongolian culture, journey through the different levels of reality. In this way, horses are deeply connected to the spiritual realm and the forces that govern it. Thus, horses are an integral part of Mongolian spiritual life and are held in high regard.
