Epona
the great mare, guide of riders
earthEpona guards the horse and the traveller, riding gently beside the living and leading the dead on their last journey; to dream of her is to feel a steady, patient companion keeping pace with you along a road you must not walk alone.
Fragments
She rides a white mare at an easy walk, and soldiers far from home carved her likeness by the stable door so that their horses might come back sound.
At the end of the last road she waits, and the dead who feared the crossing find only a quiet horse, and a hand held out to help them mount.
