The Stonehedge-type picture was GORGEOUS!
The last one made me think of Lemuria for some reason. But I had a distrust of unicorns even before reading Gooberz.

Well, it started with something awfully silly. When I was 12 I saw a very large, very expensive, 4 foot stuffed unicorn in a store. Falling into the "I'm a girl so my room must be pink and full of rainbows and stuffed animals" way of thinking I BEGGED for the damn thing. Being a willful, manipulative little scorp, I got it. Placed it on the floor at the foot of the bed. Oh the nightmares! I would wake up in the middle of the night just knowing it was evil. And how surprised I was by this - unicorns are supposed to be cute and innocent and magical, right? My gut told me otherwise. This went on for a few months until I could barely walk into my room. I knew I had to slay the wretched beast. Of course, I was terribly ashamed to admit this, not to mention afraid of the wrath I would face at "wasting" all of that money. But I worked up the nerve to explain to mom that the monster had to be removed. My reason - "it's evil" - was met with more then a few odd looks. Several years after that I came across "The Hunt for the Unicorn", a medieval tapestry. Something told me the allegorical story told in the tapestry was being grossly misrepresented and woefully mistranslated. Especially the last panel. So I did a little research. But that's another story.

Yes, SunChild, when you get to the unicorn part in Gooberz tell us what you think. I was so happy to have my weirdo suspicions about the night mare affirmed and expanded by Linda.

I love the blue ones -- very mesmerizing -- and the colorful ones are quite psychedelic. Thank you for posting them!

Oh Randall! You should know better than that.
It is a pretty little myth though, isn't it? I'm training myself to susbstitute Pegesus for the unicorn.

Glad you like the art, I found another thats absolutely gorgeous, i'll post it when I get the time.
