Talk:Horse worship

message: I get precisely one hit for the word hippolatry on Google, and that is as a proposed word: 
There is evidence of horse worship in numerous ancient cultures, particularly in early Indo-European cultures. There does not, however, seem to be a word for it. The proposed "hippolatry" is..
(http://www.panikon.com/phurba/articles/propose.html)
This proposed word is found in between "Emetomancy - "Divination by Means of Vomit."" and "Hoplolagnia - "Sex Play Involving Guns.""
Given this, it would be wise to cite some additional sources and references. If they don't come, it is possible the article will be listed for deletion.
I have no quarrel with an article on the significance of the horse to the Celts, or with an article on horse worship generally, if we don't already have one on Wikipedia. It's the word itself that I am querying.

thread_title: References?

message: I am still wondering why the reference list is cut and pasted from that on Epona right down to page numbers. Is User:Nicodemus75 still around on Wikipedia to explain? I think it is less misleading to remove them, so that we have a clearly unsourced article for now. Telsa 15:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Nicodemus75 says Do not bother leaving any messages here. I do not read this page - THIS MEANS YOU. so, I guess not. The page is clearly a neopagan cut and paste job.
The references list is clearly bogus. I am the major contributor to the Epona page and added most of the references there. The etymology  on this page is not completely correct and is unreferenced. There are numerous errors throughout. 
I was previously unaware of this page, and will improve it now I know about it. --Nantonos 04:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference relevance

message: Its not clear how the mediaeval Rhiannon and macha are evidence of horse worship "before Epona"!
Where does the "bronze age" start date come from?

thread_title: Chronology

message: The whole bit about modern horse worship and furries doesn't belong in my view. It looks like someone's personal view and is unsourced. Who or what is Willis-Craig? Google doesn't seem to turn up anything but Wikipedia and its mirrors. I think this should probably be removed. Beorhtwulf (talk) 22:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with you but for now split the difference, tossing Willis-Craig but keeping the furry thing just to see if anyone who cares wants to come in and strengthen it.  But if we see no action in a week or so, I won't kick if you toss the rest.  Montanabw(talk) 19:13, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Under Bronze Age horse worship the veneration of Hayagriva is mentioned as having featured prominently in early Indo Aryan ritual(ie Rigvedic). However this is completely false since Hayagriva only came to be mentioned in later Hindu texts which have nothing to do with the Bronze Age. The sources used are definitely unreliable and this content needs to be removed immediately! Hayagriva isn't even mentioned in the Rig Veda!Grathmy (talk) 18:58, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
