"I am the wind which blows over the sea / I am the wave of the deep / I am the Bull of Seven Battles / I am the eagle on the rock / I am a tear of the sun."   (Amergin, a Celtic poet)

The bull symbolized strength and potency in Celtic mythology.  A winged bull was even more powerful, for it could move between earth and sky. Celts considered the bull a symbol of the animal nature of man, and a great positive in battle.
