This is the discussion group provided for the Unicorns 101 class from Witchschool.com. On this list you can discuss your personal experience with unicorns, where you first learned of them and any questions you would like to know.

Unicorns are fascinating and wonderful creatures with a rich and varied history. Magickally, unicorns can provide wonderful guides for all types of people. There are many species and types of unicorns that can be called upon to aid you in many endeavors. The unicorn,is one of the oldest beings and the revival of metaphysical interest has sparked its rebirth.

The unicorn has appeared in movies, tapestries, cave drawing, bestiaries, reliefs, mosaics, sculptures, paintings, ancient vases and more! Many people envision the unicorn as a white horse with a single straight horn emerging from its forehead, however, his is only one of many unicorn descriptions. There were unicorns with the tails of lions, mules, pigs or even serpents. Unicorns have had cloven hooves, horses hooves, claws and elephant feet. There have been furred, scaled and even armored unicorns. They have been as small as cats and described as bigger than ships. The variation of the unicorn in legend and lore is different by time, region, culture and more.

Unicorns have changed throughout the years, and the legends surrounding them often differ. I am going to present some of the more common stories. I want to assure you, if I could include all the differing renditions of each mythology, I certainly would. However, there are many books available on the subject and I will include some websites and books for further study.

You may contact me, Tariel Nimara at pegacorna@gmail.com if you have any questions.
