Mythical Magic

Carnelian hand carved heraldic intaglio

Why we love it

Who doesn’t love a unicorn? That mythical creature who, despite having a huge horn protruding from the middle of its forehead, is adored the world over, much to the chagrin of the rhinoceros.

And guess what they call a group of unicorns? A blessing! Seriously people, how could that not make your heart sing? Unicorns bring the magic. They appear in a cloud of glitter and hope and encourage us to believe in our dreams. With a unicorn the world is full of joy and possibility.

If you’re struggling through hard times, what better than a unicorn to lessen your burden and lift your spirits.

It’s a metaphor for self-belief. For never giving up on what you want, no matter how impossible it seems.

Take a leaf out of Scotland’s book, who adopted the unicorn to be its national animal (yes really). Get scrappy. Daub your face in blue paint and shout freedom!

Don’t listen to the nay-sayers who say you can’t. You can!

Yes, you can.

Yes. You. Can.
