Howlite Crystal Horse

This is a small crystal horse made from howlite; each is unique in it's own way with different colouring or other characteristics. You can see from the comparison picture the different variations there may be.

The Horse is known as a spirit animal associated with a 'personal drive', motivation and passion; symbolic for having an appetite for life. These prancing howlite horses are uniquely marked due to the nature of the howlite crystal and are wonderful as keepsakes for horse lovers young and old.

Size of Horse: Approximately 4.7cm in length (at the longest point), and roughly 3.3cm in height (may vary fractionally as these are hand carved).

More About Howlite
The energy of howlite is calming and relaxing and many use it as an aid to meditation or to hold or have under their pillow to aid them when they are trying to sleep. It is also said to help emotional expression and to help develop patience. Due to the soft nature of this stone, we would not recommend cleansing this with water.

More About the Symbol of the Horse
Throughout many cultures such as the Hindu, Greek and Native American horses are revered and held in high esteem. Horse represents power and how we use our own power in life. We are each given our own brain, heart, body and life energy. How will we use them? How will we approach our lives? If you have ever stood at the side of a field and watched horses cantering about, playing and then suddenly taking off in a gallop you can hear their power. How they have such weight and can gain such momentum. The clattering of their hooves against hard earth leave you in no doubt these animals are sacred and have within them great power. Horses have helped humans throughout history spread over great distances. Before the horse was used by humans we were very limited in how far we could travel.

In the Tarot the Knights in most decks ride on horseback. Each of the four Knights represents a different aspect of ourselves. How will we apply our focus? Will we steam in completely focussed on what we wish to achieve and risk losing other things (Knight of Swords)? Will we leap in at the first opportunity with both feet full of fire and enthusiasm but risk lacking the longevity to reach the end (Knight of Wands)? Will we methodically take one thing at a time and risk taking too long (Knight of Pentacles)? Or will we listen quietly to higher voices to help guide us but risk not actually making the dream a reality (Knight of Cups)? Or can we manage to balance our four aspects so that we can use all these skills exactly when they are called for? This will give us the best power and we will accomplish great things. 

You should wear or have around you the symbol of horse when you wish to be more conscious of "Right use of Power". A spark to fire you off, the momentum to keep going, a focus to keep you eye on the goal, and the listening to check you are working for the greater good of all that is.
