Chaldean Oracles 146: And even the mystical doctrine handed down by the gods imparts these things:
after this invocation, (it says) you will either see a fire, similar to a child, extended by bounds over the billow of air, or you will see a formless, from which a voice is set forth, or you will see a sumptuous light, rushing like a spiral around the field. But you may even see a horse, more dazzling than light, or even a child mounted on the nimble back of a horse, (a child) of fire or covered with gold or, again, a naked (child) or even (a child) shooting a bow and standing on the back (of a horse).
