Unicorn Prayer

This chant was used to help give myself confidence and some other skills that I thought I would need. I cleansed my room and cast a personal circle. I lit some candles to light the room and relaxed for a little. Then I grounded and repeated this chant three times. It was very powerful for me and I feel very strongly for this poem.
So I decree
By Three and Three
Bless this horn
Of Unicorn

I circle this place
By horn and trace
Star and dream
Unicorn theme

By Air I call
Open by All
Mind's many flowers
By Airs thought power

By Fire I call
Open by all
Love and desire
By power of fire

By Water I call
Open by all
Emotion's embrace
By water I trace

By Earth I call
Open by All
integration sought
By earth is brought

All these I summon
To bring joy and wisdom
I call for love and thought
Unicorn of time brought

Tame this scorpion sting
Joy and love bring
Like eagles flight
Bring me light
Lift me above pain
Calm down the rain

I call for your life
I ask for no strife
Bring balance to me
By power of three on three
So mote it be
My will be done
With horn am one

This is good to use when you need energy, but its easy to modify to be a well rounded chant. Unicorns are very healing, so their power can be called upon for that use. Also, since you call all the elements and you honor all aspects of a creature, you are alluding to its divine nature, then at the end of the power, you then declare your unity with spirit. This is a good poem to meditate to since it is catchy and it rhymes, you can easily memorize it to meditate on its wording and aspects, especially its cleansing, healing or spiritual ideas. Unicorns are very purifying creatures and though it calls on the elements, it is good as a cleansing chant. It can be used as a cleansing spell or as part of calling the elements. It can be used with some modification in sabbats and other large rituals. I will start by taking apart the piece and explaining each specific section.

So I decree
By Three and Three
Bless this horn
Of Unicorn

This part declares you as the unicorn's horn and asks for blessings. You are not the source of the energy, but a point of the energy which directs and channels it. By three and three alludes to the expression "Three times three" which means the most powerful expression of creative and magical power. Three is the number of creation and magic. If you multiply it times itself it is magic working exponentially. In addition, it is nine, which is as far as you can go without returning to the source, or divine. This essentially means that you are blessing the horn, or yourself, with all your power.

The circle is a sacred symbol. In wicca traditions, the circle is often an area where one conducts rituals, casts spells or meditates. Stars and dreams are often a symbol of the higher self since dreams are a form of communication and stars are lights which mirror the lights where we are. As we are often said to be "made of light" we are mirrored in these stars. "As above, so below" is one of the sayings that promotes this theory.

As the unicorn is a spiritual creature that can bring you closer to the divine. It can do so by pointing the direction, healing that which constricts you or by opening your options. This is why the unicorn is a great choice as a creature for spiritual development. Personally, the unicorn is one of my strongest totems and this particular chant is easy and fast allowing me to memorize it. I find it easier to visualize my guardians or attendants as animals or creatures rather than abstract symbols. I find it more drawing and interesting that simply balls of light, symbols or other similar objects.
