Occult Meanings of Beyonce's 'Sweet Dreams' Video: the White Horse

The following article is in response to Vigilant Citizen's analysis of Beyonce's Sweet Dreams Video. You should really read Vigilant Citizen's article first to get an idea of what I am responding to.

There are numerous symbols in this video, but this article is focusing on only one for now: the white horse. I was reading through some comments on this video on youtube and someone mentioned the white horse running across the scene when Beyonce first goes to 'the land of the sun' and begins her 'Sun dance' at about 39 or 40 seconds in. Funny how the comment seems to be gone now on the site (I can't find it!), when I only saw it about a couple of hours ago.. hmm, coincidence or...? The powers that be do not want people looking into the real meanings of the music? Anyway, a white horse represents many things, here are some thoughts:

This is the most interesting part and I think pertains to this article:

"The Horse symbol meanings of power are widespread through most cultures, and it is linked as an emblem of life-force. Many cultures assign the attributes of the four elements to the Horse: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water.

As a Celtic symbol,the Horse was associated with war. With war, comes attributes of victory, conquer, longevity as well as procurement of territory and other spoils that come with triumph in battle.

All of these heady aspects of valor were associated with the Horse in Celt animal symbolism. In fact, so much so, the Celts hailed the Horse as the beast belonging to the sun god, and assigned it a place with the goddess Epona (see Celtic Gods & Goddesses for more information on Epona).

The Greco-Romans also associated the Horse with the spoils of war and attributed it to symbolism such as power, victory, honor, domination and virility. In Greco-Roman myth the Horse is said to be created by Poseidon (Neptune) and is devoted to Hades (Pluto) and Ares (Mars). Romans also believed the Horse to be a symbol of the continuity of life, and would sacrifice a horse to the god Mars every October, keeping its tail through the winter as a sign of fertility and rebirth."

Towards the end of that article, it says that a horse of a different color represents this:

What about a horse of a different color? The color of the Horse is also steeped with symbol meanings. Here are the most common color meanings for the Horse:

* Black Horse:
Mystery, death, night, secret, messenger of esoteric knowledge

* White Horse:
Light, sun, day, vitality, illumination, resurrection, messenger of birth

Hmmm, interesting since Beyonce is dancing in the 'land of the sun' as I call it. (Inspired by the video posted at the end of the article where someone analyzes the video and makes comments.) Perhaps the white horse symbolizes the Beyonce video character being 'reborn' (see above paragraphs) as the white horse is also a 'messenger of birth.' If what Vigilant says in his article is true, then perhaps the white horse represents 'Beyonce' being reborn in the 'Land of the Sun' now that she is under the possession of whoever it is in the video?

Does the white horse running across the way indicate the 'pale horse of the apocalypse' as well? Does that symbolize war? According to the above article, it apparently does. But what does that mean in the video if the white horse is running across the 'land of the Sun (God)?' I am not sure, I will think about it and you the reader are free to think about it as well.

Here is one person's analysis of the video and where I got some of my ideas for this article:
