Unicorns Are Just A Myth!
Hi! The unicorn is truly a mystical creature of many legends. The word "unicorn" is based on the Hebrew word re'em ("horn"), which in early versions of the Old Testament was translated as "monoceros", meaning "one horn". This became "unicorn" in English. Unicorn legends date back far into the ancient Pagan past where they were described as having many different shapes and colours. It is usually portrayed as a slender, white horse with a spiralling horn on his forehead, although its appearance and behaviour differs, depending on the location…
The Unicorn of European Myth was actually a small goat-like creature, far too small to ever support the weight of a human. He had cloven hooves, the tail of a lion, and a large spiralling horn growing from his forehead. This horn was said to have medicinal properties, and it was sought by many a rich noblemen. Dust filed from the horn was thought to protect against poison! Amongst royalty and nobility in the Middle Ages, it became quite fashionable to own a drinking cup made of its horn! Medieval pharmacists in particular believed in the power of the Unicorn as a medicine, and the Unicorn even became the apothecaries' symbol. According to St. Hildegard, who passionately believed in the power of the Unicorn to heal illness, the Unicorn's strength came from the fact that once a year, it returned to drink the waters and eat the vegetation of paradise.
In the orient the unicorn, usually referred to as a Ki-Lin or Chi-Lin, is considered a harbinger of good fortune and a prophet of great things to come. It is said that a Ki-Lin would appear at or near the time of the birth of great men and wise emperors. He was believed to live to a thousand years old and therefore embodied great wisdom and knowledge. His voice was exceptionally beautiful and likened to the sound of harmonious bells and his gentleness was so extreme that he would lift his feet very high to avoid stepping on any living creature. He was very strong, a leader among the animals yet he lived alone and it was thought to be impossible to catch him, but… it was said that only the purest of maidens could tame this beast: when a Unicorn saw a maid sitting in the wood, he would came forward and docilely lay his head in her lap, as innocent as a child. This was the Unicorn's one weakness.
The quest for the unicorn: unicorn sightings are more common than one would imagine. Robert Vavra is an American photographer known as one of the world's premier photographers of these rare, noble creatures. In January of 1982, some two dozen boys and girls in a school bus saw a unicorn playing in the snow in central Colorado! So… pay attention and keep your eyes open!
