What are unicorns? Some years ago I was sitting quietly on the lawn of my beautiful garden, relaxing in a chair and thinking about a book I was in the process of writing. Gradually I became aware of a Being near me and a wonderful sense of stillness enveloped me. It did not feel like an angelic presence. All at once I knew it was a unicorn. How I knew this I do not know. I just did. I could not see it fully; it was like a hazy white light hovering near me. It told me it wanted me to write about unicorns in my book! I gulped, not sure how they would fit in. I knew nothing about unicorns other than they were mythical horses but the unicorn telepathically imparted information into my consciousness. He told me that they were etheric beings, seventh dimensional ascended horses, fully of the angelic realms. They are aspects of the divine, in the same way that angels are. He said they had been present in Atlantis during the Golden Times, when everyone was able
to connect to them, just as they did to their Guardian Angel. Unfortunately as Atlantis devolved into a low frequency, the beautiful unicorns could not bring their energy down to such a low level, so they withdrew. Years ago when the angels asked me to write and talk about them, they said that angels were flocking to the planet under directive from Source to help raise the consciousness of everyone and help Earth to ascend. It is now the same with unicorns. Dutifully and I have to say, joyfully, I started to weave them into my book and they have since come into my life in wonderful ways. They are white horses, which have ascended into the higher dimensions. Just like humans, horses reincarnate until they become perfected beings. In their case, they return to Earth again and again to learn their lessons, until they become white horses and can ascend in a blaze of light. Then they work with us in their spiritual bodies as unicorns. The unicorns have taught me such a lot and I feel overwhelming love, respect and awe for these shy, mythical magnificent creatures and
hope that you too will feel touched by their energy and their love, through these cards, and the book I subsequently wrote on them, The Wonder of Unicorns (Findhorn Press 2008).
How unicorns can help you Unicorns remind us of who we truly are. While angels work through the heart, unicorns work with the soul. Their horn can be likened to a magic wand, pouring out divine energy. Wherever they direct this light, healing takes place. This is not just physical and emotional healing but also soul healing. They dissolve and heal the deepest, most profound wounds of the soul, which may have plagued you for many lifetimes. If you are ready the unicorns can help you clear all karma, whether personal, family or country related. You must call on them to help. The great ascended horses look for those who radiate a light and have a vision beyond their little selves. They seek people who aspire to help others and to change the world for the better, even if it is just their small corner of it.
They help you hold your vision and give you courage and faith to continue in the face of challenges and opposition. They strengthen and steady you so that you have the dignity and charisma to fight for what you believe is right. Unicorns grant wishes. One of the greatest gifts you can have in this life is to connect with your magnificent unicorn. Unicorns express and always speak of divine love.

What the Unicorns Cards can do. . . When you use the Unicorns Cards you will receive guidance and insights. The cards will help you attune to the higher frequency of the unicorns. The cards, however, cannot predict the future because you are responsible for your own thoughts and decisions. If you follow the soul guidance of the unicorns you will raise your consciousness. This means that you will attract to you situations and people of a higher vibratory level. If you meditate on the guidance you receive you will start to open up to your psychic and spiritual gifts. I believe that using the The Wonder of Unicorns Cards will help you become more whole both personally and from a planetary perspective.
How to use the cards Requesting guidance Unicorns will not give predictions, as your life is not written in stone. You have the power within you to create your future. Your thoughts, emotions, decisions and actions all contribute to what happens in your future. So do not ask for specific answers to your questions, rather request the unicorns’ help and they will offer guidance, hope and inspiration. Be open minded and trust that the response from the unicorns is encapsulated in the card or cards you are prompted to choose. Your guidance lies in the card, which will indicate the qualities whichqualities, which you need to focus on to achieve an outcome to your question for the highest good. By looking at the symbols in each card you have picked, intuitive answers will jump out at you.
The Single Card Ask your question silently or aloud as you shuffle the pack. Either pick one card from the pack with your left hand or fan the cards out and run your left hand over it until you intuitively feel you have chosen the right card. Using the left hand, which is connected to the heart centre and to the intuitive right brain, makes it easier for the divine forces to guide you to the perfect card.
Layout for World Service Shut your eyes and hold your vision for peace, love, co-operation and community everywhere. Ask the unicorns for guidance about how you can best serve this outcome. Then quietly meditate on the highest good of your soul and the planet. Place your left hand on your heart and ask your unicorn to touch it with its horn. After a moment pick two cards for guidance. If the unicorns prompt you to do so, you may choose more cards. This layout is named after the Findhorn Community, who are dedicated to world service.
The Three Card Spread When you have asked your question, with your left hand pick from the pack or from your fan of cards the three that you feel inspired to choose. Card 1 represents the immediate past. This is the preparation time, which has brought you to the point of asking this question. Card 2 represents the present. This is the current situation and from here the idea or vision is brought into reality. Card 3 represents the future, the possible result or outcome.
Understanding your guidance If you are not sure of the meaning look deeper and ask the unicorns to help. Contemplate the symbols on each card, their rich imagery can clarify and reveal what you need to know. Remember to thank the unicorns for gratitude is the gateway to universal abundance.
