Bull Metaphors
Bullshit!
Proverb: when you mess with the bull, you get the horns meaning if you provoke someone, expect an aggressive reaction.
On the horns of dilemma. (Having to make a choice between two seemingly challenging or perhaps equally amazing things)
Are you bullish or bullied?
Those who are afraid of of life, get bullied by others.
If you run from life, the bull will chase you.
Idiomatic phrase: like a bull at a gate meaning charging into some task without much thought, taking action hastily.
Hitting the Bull’s Eye – center of the target – or being right on target.
I hit the metaphorical bull’s eye. Whoohoo!
When confronting fears and demons – the truth in the bull’s eye is neither victim nor villain.
Taking the Bull by the Horns – mastering something – facing fears and doing it anyway.
When we live in peace fulfilling our own purpose, the Bull lives in peace fulfilling it’s own purpose.
Ferdinand the Bull
In Greek mythology, Elysium was a section of the Underworld (the spelling Elysium is a Latinization of the Greek word Elysion). “Elysium is an obscure and mysterious name that evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning.
Elysium in Literature
The poet Virgil describes Elysium as having eternal spring and shady groves, with its own Sun – lit by its own stars. (Aeneid book vi:541).
In the Renaissance, the heroic population of the Elysian Fields included the bright allure of paradise.
After the Renaissance, popular poets were less influenced by Greek and Latin literature. As the vikings infiltrated their stories images of Valhalla (a cheerier after death place) entered the popular European imagination with some poets further evolving the Elysium perspective. Sometimes imagined as a place where heroes getting to continue their lives as they had before only happier perhaps filled with feasting, sport, song such as Friedrich Schiller’s Ode to Joy suggesting the “daughter of Elysium” was a thing.
Dante described the Elysian Fields as the very upper level of hell, a place of peace that the unbaptized and the non-believers who lived virtuous lives go. It is a place of happiness, but it is closed off from God and thus remains as hell.
Elysium in Neopaganism
Many Neopagans today, particularly Hellenic neopagans in the United States, have what most would consider a new-age view of Elysium as a multi-layered paradise, or Heaven.
Some believe that the outer realms of Elysium are composed of great and beautiful fields, with green glowing blades of grass and bubbling springs of glowing water and wine made from the nectar of Ambrosia.
Beyond the Elysium Fields, reserved only for the most righteous and virtuous, is the Golden City where spirits exist in a state of constant euphoria. Much of what many modern neopagans believe today regarding Elysium seems to be borrowed from popular Christian imagery of Heaven.

Summary
The Elysium Fields have had many meanings. It seems it is up to each individual to feel into what the Elysium Fields means to them. When planets are passing through this area of the sky it is a good time to dream into this meaning, ideally by having a visual connection to these stars when the Sun is not occupying this area of the sky.
