One of my favorite mythical creatures are Unicorns, along with Dragons, Griffins, and the amazing Phoenix along with many others.

January  is the best time of year to see the Unicorn in the Great Above…reminding us of the Unicorns in the Great Below and this is the time of year to see the constellation connected to these magical creatures in the Sky.

Unicorn horns are said to be healing. This comes from India in the writings of Ctesias an ancient Greek Physician who wrote that the rulers of India used the Unicorn’s horn for anti-toxin purposes as a way to avoid being assassinated by poison.

Unicorns in current day are seen as a horse with a single horn.

Ctesias described them this way:
“The unicorn was native to India, the size of a donkey, with a burgundy head and white body; it had blue eyes, a single horn that was bright red at the top, black in the middle, and white at the bottom; the horn was also eighteen inches long.”

The World is as we See It and Dream It into reality – so connecting with the Unicorn in the sky we can imagine an even more magical awareness of Unicorns in this world as magical allies and guides.
