I must say, I was surprised when i did get this book, it contained more information than I had expecte. I have a few other of Ted Andrews book, and when i saw that he was the author of a unicorn book, I decided to go ahead and get it. I do believe it is the first of its kind I have ever seen, you dont see that many books on the magickal attributes of the unicorn that go so in depth. I appriciate this book being written, many books talk about the unicorn, but its nice to have so much in one place. This really was the book that I have wanted for a while now.

After reading one online review of this book, I felt it must be referring to a different book. This book is full of ways to connect with unicorns on a spiritual level and doesn't focus on the history at all. I found this book to be filled with wisdom and insights and helpful exercises that really work. It is also very uplifting and positive. I plan to re-read it!

Ted Andrews has taken me from thinking of unicorns as a mythical animal to a deep appreciation, respect and gratitude for them. Learning from his wise teachings allowed a depth of understanding that I never knew existed.

The author starts with a basic understanding and overview. Then leads the reader to undercover and explore the energies of the unicorn in more ways than imaginable. As with all of his writings, he uses many varied and different ways of working with these energies. Because of his vast knowledge in so many different techniques the reader can explore and find which method feels best to them, from meditating to dancing.

Learning to use these energies and techniques has helped facilitate much positive personal change in my life. It can do the same for you.

I was given this as a gift shortly after I had read the only other book I had read by this same author, besides the Enchantment of the Fairie Realm and I believed it to be in good quality.

I had a chance to read it while on the go, tt starts off with a simple overview and personal history and exercises, then leads you to undercover and explore the energies of the unicorn. Mostly he uses many varied and different ways of working with these exercises. Because it provides so many different techniques the reader can explore and find which method they prefer, and theres is a good deal of poetic lore and background on the cultures that choose to use these symbols. Maybe the book would have been better if it had more art for example, but other than that does what it is supposed to do and is detailed.

More than a reference but not to be taken lightly as a source of meditations and exercises it can be redundant but is very detailed and has plenty of exercises, however ther martial arts thing is a joke it is clearly the horse stance. I would recommend this book only if you will be ready to perform the exercises, it would be okay to have laying around but more pictures would have made it hold my interest longer. So 3 stars.

I love unicorns. I you you dare to believe in magic, and are always looking for the unicorns out of the corner of your eye, then this book is the one you are waiting for. Ted Andrews is a kindred spirit. Thank you Ted for this beautiful book.

This is an awesome book. Has alot of stories. I love this book. One of my fav's

It's actually been a while since I've read this, but you know, you have to find it a least *somewhat* suspect when his Bibliography quotes stuff from Robert Vavra's unicorn books (which, while beautifully photographed have also been revealed to be fakes, by the author). I have a *lot* of unicorn lore books and this particular "guide" seems to lift entire paragraphs from them. I learned nothing new about unicorns at all.

The unicorn martial art thing was pretty much a joke too. He's in horse stance, ladies and gentleman, and not a very good one, either.

It depends on what you want to read about. If you want to know how to meet a unicorn and have adventures with it, this book surely won't be your cup of tea. if you want to learn about the history of unicorns and their origins, buy this book. I bought this book online and I was a little dissapointed. if you want to buy this book, don't buy it online because you will be disspointed like I was.
