Sleipnir
The keeper of the journey between worlds
Nature of Sleipnir
Sleipnir is the eight-legged horse of Odin, the All-Father of Norse mythology. So tell the songs of the Edda. He is the fastest of all horses and carries his rider over land, sea and air. On him Hermod rides to the realm of the dead to bring back the god Baldur. Sleipnir stands for the power to master transitions and to travel between worlds.
Inner attitude
Sleipnir is tireless and sure-footed where others lose their ground. He carries without hesitation – across every boundary.

Meaning
Sleipnir appears when you stand before a great transition – a move, a farewell, a new chapter of life. He reminds you that you are carried and that you can safely walk the path into another world.
Voice of the being
«Mount up. I will carry you – there and back again.»
Encounter & working together
You meet Sleipnir in dreams of long rides, in the wind and in the clouds. As you walk, feel each step consciously and imagine the earth carrying you with every stride.
Pay attention to
- where you hesitate before a threshold
- where you need more footing
- where something wants to carry you across a boundary
Sleipnir works when you are ready to set out and let yourself be carried.
Essence
I walk safely through every transition.
