  Sign of the Unicorn Summary
Sign of the Unicorn is the third book in the Chronicles of Amber series by Roger Zelazny.
The inhabitants of Roger Zelazny's Sign of the Unicorn are not human beings at all but a race of aristocrats who live in another dimension and who can slip in and out of Earth, which they call Shadow, when they feel like it.
However, this third volume [Sign of the Unicorn] takes up the tale with no synopsis and plunges into action so fast that even readers of the first two books may want to check back to refresh their memories.

 The GuardHouse: Britannica The Unicorn
Approximately one week prior to the birth, the Unicorn mother begins gently, but repeatedly, to nudge her now mature offspring until he or she gallops away to adopt the secluded life which is inherent in the creature's nature.
Pliny's Unicorn is depicted as a ferocious beast who cannot be taken alive, with the body of a horse, the head of a deer, the feet of an elephant, the tail of a wild boar and a solitary fl horn two "cubits" long, standing out of its forehead.
Unicorns are able to judge if that person is true to their heart, if they are to be trusted...if they will prove to be a true friend.

 Legends
Perhaps the earliest mention of the Unicorn is by Herodotus, who in the 3rd century BC wrote of the 'horned ass' of Africa.
Pliny's Unicorn is a ferocious beast with the body of a horse, the head of a deer, the feet of an elephant, the tail of a wild boar, and a single fl horn two cubits long, standing out of its forehead.
During the middle ages a fable was told that although the Unicorn was impossible to hunt down, it was so impressed by the presence of a lovely virgin that it would run up to her and submissively lay its head in her lap.

 Extracts from the books of Alice Bailey related to the sign of Capricorn   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This sign portrays to us man, an ambitious animal in two senses of the word: in the early stage upon [Page 154] the Mutable Cross, man, the blend of desire (water) and the animal nature (earth), and upon the reversed wheel, man, the blend of soul and form.
Secondly, Capricorn is ever the sign of conclusion, and of this the mountain top is frequently (though not always) the symbol, for it marks the point beyond which further ascent in any particular life cycle is not possible.
Capricorn is, therefore, the sign of what has been called esoterically "periodic arresting." Progress becomes impossible under the existing forms, and there has to be the descent into the valley of pain, despair and death before a fresh attempt to scale the heights takes place.

 Ira Einhorn - The famous Unicorn Killer - The Crime Library - The Crime library
Two Einhorn female associates stated that a couple days after Holly's disappearance the Unicorn had sought their help in disposing of a trunk that contained (what he referred to as) "secret documents." The friends never helped him and as far as they were concerned the trunk was probably still in Einhorn's possession.
In the meantime, the Unicorn had continued his normal existence, no longer rallying crowds of bell bottoms and bandanas, but reworking his 1960s doctrines into the post-dissident climate.
The Unicorn shrugged with indifference, as he did in the good old days when the campus police caught him puffing on a joint.

ONCE I had noticed the sign for the Unicorn, it became impossible to ignore.
Part of the reason I had been so keen to try the place is because the sign looked somehow rather plush, not really what you would expect in Kincardine.
It was obvious as soon as we walked in the door that the Unicorn was a little out of the ordinary.

 The Music Room
By the way - the "Sign of the Unicorn" spoken of in the song is a reference to Lancelot, the "unicorn" bred by Morninglory and Father Otter a few years previously.
Many of us in the pagan community were quite excited about this at the time and took it as a sign that wicca, paganism and the goddess religion would soon be stepping out of the closet and onto the streets.
This has indeed come to pass and I still like the romantic view that little Lancelot was perhaps a harald of the changing times.
