And continues to be symbolic.  I quote from an Ozzie Osbourne
song from the early 1980's (Osbourne, by the way is actually a good 
songwriter despite his reputation and choice of medium) called 
"Mr. Crowley" about Aleister Crowley, the witchcraft/Satanist
guy from 19th century England:

"Mr. Crowley, can I ride your white horse?
 Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic, of course."
