When I was a little kid my parents listened a lot to Enya. I remember this song from 15 years ago but never knew the name until 2 months ago. The rhythm stayed with me all my life, I'm so happy I finally found this song! It's pure bliss...
People seriously asking if this is based off of Link's horse. Absolutely not, considering this album came out over ten years -before- that game came out, let alone the fact I seriously doubt Enya's a gamer in any way, shape or form. Epona is a goddess of the horses, which is what Link's horse was named after as well. The song and Link's horse have absolutely no connection whatsoever. Beautiful song though, it's my favorite from The Celts!
LOL a load of comments are based on the Zelda games XD I somehow doubt this song was based on Link's horse. But it makes sense that the Epona was named after the Celtic Goddess of horses... The Zelda franchise does have a distinctly Celtic feel to it...
anyone else here worship the goddess epona? ever since i was a little girl i was in love with horses and wolves. my room is entirely horse themed. btw, what would be some approriate sacrifices to epona and how to build an altar in less than 3 days? w/o getting caught doing so....
@lkellermanl543 Epona is delighted by simple pleasures. A round pile of fresh hay layed out in the sun, with the biggest, red apple and three juicy carrots on top of the pile. No special arrangement of the food is neccessary, but a handful of clovers strewn about the hay is a nice touch. Let the offering warm in the sun all day. At dusk set the hay on fire and send the offering to the gods. Songs and dancing can accompany the burning sacrifice.
its interesting that many celtic and roman goddesses often were 'merged' together in time ! DDASHUNG is right about the facts! of course often before the romans there were differant names for epona depending on where in the celtic lands you were ! ie scotland, ireland, gaul etc
Epona was mainly the horse goddess of the gaulish celtic tribes at first; after the Gallic Wars she was adopted as the tutelar protector of the roman cavalry through which her then orientalized gallo-roman cult flourished among all the western part of the empire.
With time her cult was further modified and she was becoming a prime generalist agriculture goddess (as Demeter or Cybele) before burgeoning christianization put an end to it.
Liitle is truely known about the Goddess Epona. She was the protector of Horses, dogs, and birds. She was the keeper of the keys to the underworld and led the dead there. she was dipictied as riding a white mare nude from the waist up. Epon is still worshipped today.
best song ever. Back in the days I had a game froms Suske and Wiske, a Dutch commic and this song was played over and over in this game. I'ts just hipnotising

mouie5 The epona from the zelda games has to do with the Celtic goddess Epona. The godess was ruler over horses. Epona from the game zelda was named after the godess. XD
I love the baseline in this music. It supports but doesnt over power. The whole is so completely beautiful. I just wish it were longer but it wouldn't be perfect then. I would like to hear this on other instruments as well. I want to buy this for a ring tone hehe.. trite but oh well.

ENYA... Her name sounds like..In YAH. His name is Yahuweh, our creator! Removed from scripture 7,000 times just so you wouldn't know Him. My name will be in Him...Messi/YAH Hallelu/YAH...praise Yahweh! Kumbe/YAH my Lord. YadaYahweh[dot]com See what king and cleric didn't want you to know of true scripture. You will be amazed at what you don't know. peace
enya eres lo maximo tu musica trasporta por emosiones , sentimientos y traspasa las fronteras de la imaginacion,eres un mundo aparte, mis respetos y toda mi admiracion. enya-mexico
lol me TOO lol i was like ummmm ok i thought she was going to sing words to Epona's song i was lik "ok i want to hear this!" but i do love enya so this was just amazing as usual
No kidding me! :O we used this song in a theater play some time ago, and of course I fell in love with it, but never found out what its name was, damn here it is!!! :O
I heard this song a long, LONG time ago. I fell in love with it instantly, but I never found the name. Years later I've forgotten it until I accidentally stumbled upon it.
And I felt the same love for it now when I did years ago.
@objartel1991 indirectly yes it does, Epona was the Celtic goddess of horses, so the names of horse and song came from the same place but independently of each other.
Epona is the Keltic Godess of Horses, Fertility, and Nature. She is associated with the Water, Healing, and Death. Her name comes from "Epos" an evolved keltic word for Horse. When the Roman Empire invaded the British Islands they adopted her cult as the protector of cavalry and horsemen.
@mouie5 No, it has to do with the celtic god epona whose incarnate's Rhiannon. Read Divine by mistake by P.C. Cast to understand more of this stuff if you want to ;D
@mouie5 Epona MEANS horse in celtic. Look at the latin word for horse "hippus" end "epona" (hipo and epo). End Epona was the Celtic Goddess of the horses. hope I helped ^^
@mouie5 Well, Link's horse from the Zelda series IS named Epona, but Epona is also the Celtic Goddess, the protector of horses, mules and donkeys. She is also the Celtic Goddess of Fertility :)
