I'm horsing to the max
I clean stalls until I lose my sense of identity.
I wash my clothes in pure undiluted lavender oil.
I'm drinking 7 liters of vinegar each day so I can disinfect their scurf with nothing but my own sweaty hands.
I don't use fly spray. I kill every fly myself.
Each day, I spend 2 hours in the pasture allogrooming with the horses. I stopped showering and now I use the extra time to contemplate the nature of horsekind.
Every muck bucket is sent on a private jet to a lab in Shenzen to be analyzed for health issues.
I've memorized every molecular compound horses are made of so I can synthesize their supplements myself.
I have to re-geld my stallions every few years because they keep growing back.
To automate countless hours of labor, I've trained them to kiss each other's noses.
I forgot how to pronounce human words, so I can only communicate to the owners by writing on the wall.
I WILL overhead press a horse if they don't lift their hoof within 4 seconds.
If I did anything less I could not call myself a groom, and I would allow the countless concussions I've sustained over the past two days to take me to the next life.

The only source for irish horse fucking is a norman spy - giraldus cambrensis. The irish themselves never documented it. Not even a doodle. Its likely he copied and pasted indian culture like americans portrayed irish as africans to make them seem more savage.

You are literally citing propaganda as history. Its not undeniable like human sacrifices in carthage. It’s literally made up to justify military action.

So your competing theory for this being an Irish pre-Christian kingship ritual is that it’s sasenach propaganda and that the medieval Normans were familiar enough with a Vedic Hindu ritual to file off the serial numbers and use it to lie about the Irish? LMAO

Never mind that similar rituals are evidenced from intermediary IE cultures from Siberia to Spain, and it’s only that the Vedic and Irish versions survived beyond the classical era that make them notable, your alternative theory is bug nuts.

There is no ancient horsefucking conspiracy that's spanned across several millennia. There has never been a single recorded instance of a horse and a human engaging in sexual acts, and definitely not one involving high level government officials. In fact, horses don't even exist.

Christians lied about all of norse paganism. Most of what we have was made up by monks.
Christians in the modern era even made up a lie about inuits fucking their dogs and it has never been corroborated by the inuits themselves - and dogs are biologically unfuckable. They die a month later from pyometra. So it’s really doubtful they would kill their working animals.
Christians cant even tell the truth about their own religion and make up entire rules that aren’t even mentioned in the bible but can be deduced by analyzing word choices in distant parts of specific translations

Christians do in fact lie to justify what else they do (kill, steal, rape, convert) and they are liars by habit.

It is extremely doubtful and most likely false that the irish kings engaged in ritual horse fucking. No primary source = ye olde propaganda.

Isn’t unreasonable.

Thinking Giraldus Cambrensis knew what the Vedic Hindus were up to in 1190 AD and that he then used that knowledge to slander the Irish is insane.

The Irish Kingship Ritual may be propaganda, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it wasn’t, because we know that earlier related cultures had been doing similar things for thousands of years.

And there’s no evidence at all that Snorri Sturluson was a Christian with an axe to grind instead of someone recording the Poetic Edda as faithfully as it was possible for him to do. What it is important to remember is that the Skaldic Eddas were only a portion of Norse myth and that non-skalds would have approached the mythology and sacreds of Nordic paganism from a different angle. Skald was a position in a King’s Court, the worship and mythology of the smallfolk would have a different point of view than such a men of such high status and highly educated positions. As many dedications are found to gods with single line mentions in the Prose Edda as are found to the majority of gods who are common characters in the tales that have survived.

I wonder why horses have been consistently seen as beautiful throughout history. I'm not saying they AREN'T, but considering their weird long faces and objectively freaks of nature body structure we realistically shouldn't. Is it literally just the fact that they are fine-limbed and have long flowy manes/tails?
>>
>>5122199
I'd say some of it is that we like round features. Cows, as an example, i find a million times less appealing and one reason is them just being square shaped.

There are things that signal genetic health more or less universally and are thus innately beautiful, like symmetry. Horses have an abundance of these signals, partly due to dual mate selection pressure (both males and, to a lesser extent, females get some say in who they mate with, and they prefer the healthier looking mates, and their eyesight lets them see these details keenly) and partly due to human breeding further bringing these traits out.
