Medicine of Mythical Creatures

UNICORN

The medicine of Unicorn goes to where it is most needed. It brings light wherever it goes and opens paths previously unknown. The Unicorn speaks of wisdom and wise use of knowledge. To be touched by the horn of the Unicorn is to have that area opened and made whole. It can relieve pain and give sight. Sight not just to blind eyes, but to wisdom and knowledge. Neither male, nor female, the Unicorn seeks to integrate.
The element of Unicorn is air, it flies even without wings. From its vantage point high in the sky Unicorn can see all time and all space. But one needs to pay attention and be careful with Unicorn's knowledge, because it can be a double-edged sword. The horn gives much, but get too close and the hoof can lay even stone to waste.

The Unicorn is the epitome of perfect love and perfect trust. The spiral horn is like the helix of life and can send healing energy into any time and any place. It's tail is like the loin's and shows is bravery and subtly. It's golden hooves are cloven, to show surefootedness and also the playfulness of the goat. Those hooves are shod with diamond shoes to show their sharpness and indestructibility.

I am Unicorn. When you most need me, I appear. My horn brings healing to the most needed places. I open doors and light the way for you to see, not just with your eyes, but with your heart. In my wingless flight, I fly high to see all paths in all time and all space. I can show you paths that you didn't know before. I am a being in the element of Air, and all things associated with Air. I can be shy, but if you come to me in perfect love and perfect trust, and I will bless you with my horn. My spiral horn is like the helix of life and can send healing energy into any time and any place. It can relieve pain and give sight. Sight not just to blind eyes, but to wisdom and knowledge. I am neither male, nor female and I seek integration and wholeness in all things. I have the tail of a lion so you can remember that I am brave enough to not be afraid of knowledge. Do not forget that knowledge brings with it a certain responsibility to be used wisely. My cloven hooves are surefooted like a goat, but they are also shod with diamond shoes and can cut to the quick if my energy is misused. Remember that knowledge is a double-edged sword. My horn gives much, but get too close and my hoof can lay even stone to waste.

Unicorn…healer of souls
Bringer of light
Teach me your way of knowing
This body of light.
