Philosophy
In ancient times the four virtues of Misericordia, Justicia, Pax, Veritas (Mercy, Justice, Peace, Truth) were associated with the Unicorn. It was impervious to the efforts of man. Only purity and innocence were capable of calming and capturing it.
The qualities of the Unicorn are mystery, strength, and compassion. An elusive and noble being only glimpsed within the forest. Only with the purest of desire can a unicorn be approached, and once touched, its essence travels forever with you: You *have been transformed.
Heraldry
The banner of the Wandering Unicorns has many meanings.The black unicorn head represents a being of mystery, something from the unknown. It is a creature that is rarely seen, and if then, merely a glimpse or shadow. The grey of the background is the twilight between day and night. A unicorn stands between worlds, neither fully in reality nor in the realm of dreams.
The essence of the Unicorn is within all true and honorable defenders of Life.
