The Unicorn and Virgin Peter Proksch

According to the Physiologus, the unicorn is a small kid-like animal that can be captured only through the agency of a virgin. The unicorn is attracted by her scent and once it sees her jumps into her lap and falls asleep.

In Psychology and Alchemy Carl Jung stresses this analogy and quotes a passage from the Speculum de mysteriis ecclesiae by Honorius:

the very fierce animal with only one horn is called unicorn. In order to catch it, a virgin is put in a field; the animal then comes to her and is caught, because it lies down in her lap. Christ is represented by this animal, and his insuperable strength by its horn. He, who lay down in the womb of the Virgin, has been caught by the hunters; that is to say, he was found in human shape by those who loved him --Jung 1953
