She needed their protection and they needed hers as the “magic” of the Druid priest pursued them to the Russian steppes through the dark Carpathian mountains in the form of a giant “ghostly” wolf. It turns out that the spirit within Epona was attuned with the horses and Kazhak and his friends became her trusted companions and protectors. The Celts experience with horses had always been only with the smaller cart ponies used in the mountains and they had never seen the magnificent riding horses from the steppes. But the adventure begins when Epona feels a desperate need to leave her beautiful home in the Blue Mountains – which I took to be the Alps – and left with Kazhak, a Scythian, and his two companions. It’s very detailed about how the early Celts lived their lives every day and how they believed the spirits within everything and everyone helped shape their lives. Epona is the Celtic Goddess of the horse and this is her story. This is a fictionalized version of how the old Druid/Celtic Gods became known. ![]() A great story making the old Celtic myths and legends come alive. ![]()
