Digger just loves unicorns, so he decided to pop
on over and take a peek at my new unicorns
page. He loves to listen to stories about them *S*

Welcome to my world of Unicorns. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved
Unicorns & Pegasus'. There is something bout their beauty, grace, and strength, and most of
all, their magical qualities they possess. To this day, I still believe that they are
out there somewhere. *S*

Unicorns

The unicorns were the most recognizable magic the fairies possessed, and they sent them to
those worlds where belief in the magic was in danger of failing altogether. After all
there has to be some belief in magic - however small - for any world to survive".
(Terry Brooks, The Black Unicorn)

Unicorns were mythological animals resembling a horse or kid with a single horn on it's forhead;
It was an enigmastic symbol and still retains some of it's ancient mystery.

The Unicorn first appeared in the earliest of mesopotamian pictorial arts.
It also was referred to in ancient myths of India,
gradually spreading through southeast Asia and into China, where
is surfaced as the gentle chi-lin in the 27th century BC.

The earliest description in Greek Lit of a single-horned
(Greek: Momokeros, Latin: Unicornis) animal was by Ctesias who related
that the Indian wild ass was the size of a
horse, with a white body, purple head, and blue eyes;
on its forehead was a cubit-long horn coloured red
at the pointed tip, black in the middle, and white
at the base. Those who drank from its horn were
thought to be protected from stomach troubles, epilepsy, and poison.
It was very fleet of foot and difficult to capture.
The actual animal behind Ctesias' description was probably the Indian Rhinoceros.

Certain poetical passages of the Old Testament refer to a
strong and splendid horned animal called re'em. This word is
translated "unicorn" or "rhinoceros" in many versions, but many more
modern translations prefer "wild ox" which is the correct meaning
of the Hebrew re'em.

According to legend, the Unicorn could be tamed only by a virgin maiden.
