Traditionally, Horsa is called the god of the solar disk, which can be observed at sunrise or sunset. It should be said that this deity is probably the most controversial figure in the pantheon of Slavic gods. To date, there are no proven versions of the origin of his name, it was first mentioned in the "Tale of Bygone Years"; however, the reliability of this ancient document also raises doubts. Nevertheless, it is from him that modern researchers manage to extract crumbs of information about the culture of our distant ancestors. According to this source, the idol (idol) of Khors was installed in Kiev in 980, next to the idols of other, most revered, gods.
There are two main theories about the origin of his name, both of which need substantiation and proof. According to the first of them, the word "horse" is rooted in the so-called. "Iranian language" - related dialects, in which the peoples who lived in the territories where Ukraine is now located, as well as in the south of modern Russia, communicated. Roughly translated from this long-dead language, "Horse" can mean "shining sun" or simply "sun". The second version, in my opinion, is weaker, suggests looking for the origin of the name of Khors in even more distant times, when the nomadic tribes of the Scythians dominated the same lands, that is, around the eighth century BC.
Khors is considered the patron saint, first of all, of farmers. In this regard, he personifies exactly the autumn Sun, assists in harvesting, postponing rain and frost. Hors is credited with the ability to control not only the weather, but also the seasons and the general universal order. According to Slavic myths, Khors was created by Rod at the same time as Divia, the goddess of the Moon, thus, these two deities are brother and sister, but are seen only in rare moments of solar eclipses. It is also possible that Khors is a brother or other relative of another solar deity, Dazhdbog.
How outwardly the ancient Slavs saw this god, today it is also not possible to find out. The most common depiction of Khors in our time is a young, fair-haired man riding a white horse. His clothes are devoid of aggressive attributes inherent in other, more militant, Slavic gods.
The main symbol of Khors in Yavi, the world of mortals, is Kolard; it is also possible that this deity was resorted to with the help of the signs of Fire and Solstice.
Again, all of the above information is not proven or claims to be undeniable truth. A huge layer of Slavic culture was destroyed during the planting of the Christian religion, absolutely alien to our distant ancestors, and now we are left, basically, to build only assumptions about the traditions and beliefs of people who lived at that time.
