Mythical Unicorn

UnicornIf you are active on social media sites, you will no doubt realise that there has been something of a ‘unicorn fever’ building. From unicorn toast, to unicorn cakes, unicorn hair to unicorn nails… The current unicorn trends feature magical rainbows of pastel colours with a heavy sprinkling of glitter…

No doubt in the next few months for children the delight in unicorns will only grow further with movies like ‘Despicable Me 3’, featuring Agnes and her quest to find a real unicorn. The movie suggests that only those ‘pure of heart’ will see one… And for any adults that see the movie they will surely like the line “Life is like that, honey. You expect a unicorn but you get a one-horned goat.”

Mythical Animal

Although the unicorn is seeing resurgence in popularity the reality is that it has been a long revered mythical creature.

Often in pagan religions the unicorn is associated with or thought to belong to the moon goddess. It is depicted as looking like a white horse, but with a single horn protruding from the centre of its forehead. Its magical healing abilities were believed to derive from the horn.

The unicorn is long associated with purity, and it is believed that only those with an honest heart could tame it. (more…)

The Unicorn

UnicornThe Unicorn is the universal symbol for mystics of enlightenment and spiritual transformation. Whilst its depiction often differs the mythology of it being a magnificent and elusive creature does not.

The oldest form of the Unicorn is probably the Chinese Ki-Lin in about 3000BC. Chinese symbolism describes it as one of the four spiritually endowed or auspicious creatures of the Ssu Ling; it is the essence of all five elements whilst embodying both the male /female yin and yang.

In the west the Unicorn is strongly associated with the moon; it is nearly always coloured white or silver. The mythical creature represents purity, gentleness and strength of mind – the horn a symbol of enduring individuality and power.

The Unicorn is also closely associated with royalty and is prominent in heraldry, often opposite a lion representing both lunar and solar energies.
