"It's presence brings the brightness of lightening, the power of the thunderbolt, the softness of sudden summer rain. It is at once creature of the morning and beast of midnight." ~ from In the Pursuit of the Unicorn by Josephine Bradley
The guardian of the spiral/maze/labyrinth is that creature of Light and perfection within the nature realm known to us at the unicorn. We see this apparition as a mythic contingent of our brighter dreams - pale, serene, untouchable, yet all-the-more alluring. For in the subtleties of these deepest passions, we ache to embrace Spirit, to soar as it soars and to glorify being as does the unicorn, who is the entity of our desire to be released from the struggle of matter. Unconsciously, we bend as a blade of grass to the breezes of truth in legend. The unicorn curves the streams of our night vision toward secret forests, wherein our souls may look upon him and share in his blessings of solitude.
As the most regent of nature beings, he is both 'High Deva' and animal. While other species have a commanding deva that is their master-form or archetype, the unicorn--every unicorn, is a master-form unto itself. Yet they are also embodied as physical creatures, abiding in a natural state within the Central (inner) Earth of this planet. The "Inner Earth" is slightly removed from this dimension, but it is nevertheless 'physical,' and exists in space/time beneath our feet. It is what Thoth calls the "Holy of Holies" or "Sacred Hollow" of the earth.
The Central Earth unicorns are kept within the maintained gardens, for....they now require special attention in order to survive. Some of the most excellent specimens of the unicorn are cared for at the Aura Healing Garden where their beneficial healing tones are used in treating imbalanced bio-streams. The subterranean unicorns...maintain a distant nature an are not quite as accessible to the mental and physical touch are are the other inner world animals. However, once a being, whether human or animal, is accepted by a unicorn, there is a close bond between them. No other animal (on or in the earth) possesses the depth of love and purity of soul as does this enigmatic one of the etheric melodies.
The singular horns of (the).....unicorns are delicate tuning devices, able to send and receive harmonic interactions with the vibrating universe. It was a bonding of seven unicorns in their high devic forms that the Elohim (Creation Lords) worked through to set the harmonic of this planet in the 'First Trigram'--that age in which the earth was being aligned as a sacred temple. It was through the unicorn then, that this world was given 'the Word' (in the nature realm), which is the Holy Tone of the living spiral, beginning the interfacing of the earth/human spiralic function. Thus, the 'Shining Horned Ones' are worthy of the title, 'Guardians of the Spiral.'
There are two especially amazing books written on unicorns which I like to believe in my heart and soul contains actual photographs of unicorns (probably they are not, and yet...). These are Unicorns I Have Known and The Unicorn of Kilimanjaro, both by renowned photographer, Robert Vavra. Whether or not the photographs are genuine, Vavra has reached a true understanding of the nature and habits of unicorns in these marvelous books. Unicorns still do exist upon the surface of the planet. Since they are able to travel inter-dimensionally and shield themselves from sight with a form of sonar, they can be born, live and die in our midst and yet removed from our consciousness.
