Amidst the stars and the magic of the night sky, amidst the waves of the sea and our innermost hearts, lies the returning spirit of the unicorn.

Why would a BBC Publicist quit her job to talk to unicorns, and why would her Arts Worker friend, do exactly the same? Because they answered the call when it came. It wasn’t by telephone, e-mail or letter, but by simply tuning in to their intuition…

“No-one in our immediate circle could quite get their heads around why we would turn our backs on what were perceived to be quite glamorous well paid careers to work with unicorns” said Lyn.

“The unicorns just arrived in our lives, and asked us to work with them. I’d always had an interest in unicorns and the more mystical side of life, but as I become more and more enmeshed in the worlds of media and music industry, my frequencies grow lower, and the unicorns retreated. So it was with great joy when they returned some twenty years later to give me another chance, for as if out of nowhere the idea for Lunicorn landed in our laps, beginning with the unicorn believe box ”

The business of Lunicorn started in 2005 with a range of unicorn themed meditation kits, created to inspire confidence, boost self-esteem or help bring about change. Now Lunicorn has evolved into a brand which is synonymous with positive thought and self-belief, of which, of course, unicorns are a symbol.

By accident it seemed, Lunicorn was invited to host a variety of ‘Unicorns, Fairies & Wizards’ Childrens workshops, initially at The Burnside Gallery on the Isle of Arran, and then throughout Scotland, and now, by what again would appear to be a number of co-incidences(?), Lunicorn finds itself producing Magical Unicorn Meditations for Children cds. Inspired by the feedback from parents and kids on their workshops, Lunicorn realised that maybe children needed a time and space to listen, imagine and believe that what ever they wanted to happen, actually could, always for the highest good. Many people ask us now, “but how can I contact unicorns?”. The answer is easy, just find a quiet space, and ask. You might be surprised with the results…

Historically, the horn of a unicorn is said to purify the darkest poison, which is probably why so many were hunted across the centuries. Since January 2002, the Tapestry Studio at West Dean College has been working on a recreation of The Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries. Historians studying the reign of James IV believe that a similar series of ‘Unicorn’ tapestries were part of the royal collection. This project is due for completion in 2014.

The unicorn is actually a symbol of Scotland and can be seen in most market squares in cities and towns all over Scotland. Take a look at your passport too! In the late 1300s, King Robert III placed two unicorns on the royal seal, as he loved the qualities of the unicorn i.e. harmony, strength, gentleness. It was only when Queen Elizabeth I died, and James I of Scotland and VI of England became King, that in a diplomatic gesture to unite Scotland and England, he removed one of the unicorns and replaced it with a lion.

Unicorns also possess incredible healing properties of a very high vibration.

“A typical example of unicorn healing is the day I was about to record our first magical unicorn meditations for children cd. We only had a few hours to record on this particular day, and a very good friend was footing the recording bill. That morning, I awakened feeling very unwell with a really sore throat. I went in to have a chat with my spirit guide and for the first time in twelve years, he smiled broadly, and with a sweep of his arm, welcomed a unicorn called ‘Silver’. The unicorn’s horn began to glow and as he walked up to me, he bent his head and pointed his horn at my throat. It felt like it was going right inside my throat, a pure healing light, and my throat chakra started to throb. It was a very emotional experience, and within ten minutes I realised my throat was no longer sore, and I was able to do the recording in one take. I suspect with the help of the unicorns.” said Laura.

Unicorns are here and willing to help. More than that, they actively want to help change this world we inhabit, for the better. Whilst Diana Cooper, Doreen Virtue amongst others are working predominantly with adults, Lunicorn feels its own particular route is with the children. Children believe in unicorns, and have not yet been tarnished with cynicism. Lunicorn’s task therefore is to preserve that wonder, that innocence, that belief that anything and everything is possible by simply believing it is. The girls behind Lunicorn aren’t just talking the talk, they’re actually walking it too, and in so doing, offer an ideal example of the success of creative visualisation and trust in the power of the unicorns.
