*~*About Mystic Unicorns*~*
Unicorns have always been seen as creatures of innocence and purity, beauty and goodness. They have been beloved by many mostly by little girls.
In medieval times people believed unicorns really existed. They were in the Bible, which people took as the ultimate truth. Also they were mentioned in books called bestiaries, the field guides of that time.
The bestiaries called unicorns ferocious beasts so strong they could only be killed, never captured alive. They seemed to some to be monsterious and should be destroyed.
The best known legend is that of the unicorn and the maiden. Where hunters could not catch the unicorn by force, a pure young woman could!!
For her innocence would so fascinate, the unicorn would come and lay his head in her lap. Then the hunters could come and take the unicorn.
From here come the hundred stories of girls who loved the unicorn and saved him from the hunters.
The unicorn's horn of course has many, many powers. It can purify water and cure poison and many diseases. True horns were said to have such purity that poisonous creatures would die if brought into contact with one.
*~*Unicorn Quotes*~*
Toward noon we spotted an animal gazing down at us from a sterile mountain peak of red and black rocks... Our guide stated that the animal must certainly be a unicorn, and he pointed out to us the single horn which jutted from its forehead. With great caution we gazed back at this most noble creature, regretting it was no closer for us to examine still more minutely."
--Friar Faber; 1438
"Now I will believe that there are unicorns..."
--William Shakespeare; The Tempest
"'Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!' 'Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.'"
--Lewis Carroll; Through the Looking Glass
