Horsemen Of Apocalypse Analysis

CHAPTER FOUR: The horsemen of apocalypse

The five horsemen of apocalypse are not beings that were created or made. They simply are. They never came from a single source, but instead were seemingly ripped from reality itself and brought into existence. They are the ones dealt with bringing upon the end when the time comes, and then rebuilding once the deed has been done. Once the four first horsemen have taken their toll, it is left up to the fifth horsemen to rebuild the realms. They are Death, Pestilence, Conquest, War, and Providence.

The first horseman is Conquest, rider of the white horse. Also known as “Pestilence,” the rider of this horse carries a bow and wears a victor’s crown. This horseman is a metaphor for the overreach of mankind.
Rider of the green horse. She is the horseman that cleans up after the original four horsemen.

And so she subsumes the original four horsemen and teaches them that the NEW definition of right & wrong must be derived from the natural dictation of healthy & unhealthy rather than the human opinion of good & evil. She is the Verdant Force. She is the Goddess of Recompense. She is the soft hammer of evolution. She has come to blur the false boundaries that have been erected between nature and the human soul. She has come to shred the Veil of Ignominy in order to reveal the raw vulnerability of the human condition that pulses beneath. She is Gaia. She is Lady Justice. She is the return of the Sacred Feminine. She is all of us, men and women, realizing that we are nature first and human second, that we are soul first and ego second. She is weighing the worth of the human world with the Scales of Cosmos. With or without us, she will not fail to bring water to the
