Celtic mythology (Ois\u00edn and Niamh):<\/strong> In the Irish legend, the fairy princess Niamh rides a magical white horse across the sea to take the warrior Ois\u00edn (who is often associated with a black horse or dark clothing) to the land of eternal youth (T\u00edr na n\u00d3g). Music and flutes often play an enchanting role in Celtic settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A black wolf dancing like a circus clown<\/strong> is a surreal image that fits a fantasy story or an animated film. It combines the mysterious, wild nature of the wolf with the cheerful and theatrical movements of a clown. The wolf has a jet-black coat that would normally give him a dangerous appearance. Over his coat he wears typical circus attributes. The far too large ruff around his neck and a party hat. Instead of a fierce gaze, the wolf has a big, somewhat silly smile, as if he is enjoying the applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
