Sleipnir is Odin’s steed – a magical horse whose eight legs represent the eight directions of heaven and eight dimensions and has a fair colored coat. It is the child of Loki and Svaðilfar from Norse mythology. He is apparently the fastest, largest, and most powerful horse in the world, capable of incredible speeds across land, sea, and air. His name means gliding and relates to the English word "slippery" – giving Odin a smooth ride.
