Listen for a magical sound.
Discovering Magic means recognizing the
illusory nature of the material world.
-- Phillip Cooper, Esoteric Magic and the Cabala
(2002)
The mysterious, magical utterances of unicorns
have incomparable power to fascinate, excite,
and enchant. The word magic "evokes childhood
memories of fireflies dancing in the dark, of fairies
living in the garden; of dreams being so real they
lapse over into waking time. We blew the fizz off
dandelions in order to have wishes come true, or
wished upon the first rising star. We breathed in
magic and were not at all surprised by the wonders
we encountered" (Galen Gillotte, Sacred Stones of the
Goddess, 2003).
The ethereal, magical voice of a unicorn tends to
unfold like a flower captured by time-lapse photography,
its sweet melody swirling around the listener
like a beautiful fragrance. It can also sound like:
crumpled silk
an expression of gratitude
