Blóðughófi, the fire-running horse of Norse mythology, belongs to the god Freyr. His name translates loosely to “bloody hoof,” and he is no gentle meadow creature. This is a horse who charges through enchanted walls of flame and gallops straight into darkness without hesitation. As Lunar New Year turns the page and invites new beginnings, the horse becomes a fitting symbol. Not of speed for speed’s sake, but of steady courage. Of heading toward goals even when the path looks lit by fire.
