- The_Horsemans_Word abstract "The Horseman's Word, also known as the Society of Horsemen, is a fraternal secret society for those who work with horses that operates in Britain. Established in the north-eastern part of Scotland during the early nineteenth century, in ensuing decades it then spread to other Scottish regions and to Eastern England. Although having largely declined by the mid-twentieth century, the society continues to exist in a smaller capacity in parts of Scotland.Influenced by the formation of the Miller's Word and other friendly societies that based their structure on Freemasonry, the Horseman's Word was founded to cater to the growing number of individuals who worked with horses in north-eastern Scotland. Its members included horse trainers, blacksmiths and ploughmen, and involved the teaching of magical rituals designed to provide the practitioner with the ability to control both horses and women. It also acted as a form of trade union, aiming to gain better rights for its members.The initiation rituals into the society incorporated a number of elements such as reading passages from the Bible backwards, and the secrets included Masonic-style oaths, gestures, passwords and handshakes. Like the similar societies of the Miller's Word and the Toadmen, they were believed to have practiced witchcraft. In East Anglia, horsemen with these powers were sometimes called Horse Witches.During the twentieth century, the Word attracted the attention of several folklorists and historians, among them J. M. McPherson, George Ewart Evans, and Hamish Henderson. Although a number of these scholars initially suggested that the society represented a survival of a pre-Christian religious order, later historical research established the group's nineteenth-century origins.".
