The Story Behind The Unicorns – Daniela Forster

Initially, what moved me to create the Unicorn Path is the sweet song “Chloe the Unicorn”. It was a song for my friend’s child. I wanted to create a Unicorn Deck for Watkins to further honour “Chloe the Unicorn” tune! Happily, this deck was born.

Some weeks after beginning the deck I suffered an aneurysm. The Unicorns I was working on came to me during the first few days, like a dream. In a magical and miraculous way, this experience of knowing they were with me and giving me motivation on so many planes to just keep my faith that I would able to bring them into the world from my imagination.

They are guardians – magical and miraculous healers. Their wisdom and playfulness too, were inspiration in my recovery.  They are so many things: I see them as amulets, as talismans, even as medicine. Their horn holds the power as they come into our lives and transform us with their physical presence, their awareness of human suffering.

The Unicorn’s presence is of spirit, it is possible to see them with spiritual eyes similar to what we know as the light of spirit. The more I created this deck and worked with them, the more I realised their knowledge in many dimensions, and across the globe in libraries one can discover how they have been with humans for centuries.

This deck is a map of sorts.  Music, Art, Poetry and Science. The Unicorns bring these and from North, South, East and West. They come from the mountains, the water, the night sky, the deserts, travel on the winds, and through woodlands and deep forests.  Across continents there are Unicorn legends and sagas. I am motivated to carry on after completing the deck, to tell the endless stories they bring and how they come into life serendipitous.

Thank you Unicorns and the sweet song “Chloe the Unicorn” for your presence in my life and all that you bring and give.
