The Lion and the Unicorn

The original Lion and the Unicorn Tapestry Series was created in 2006 and was dedicated to Prince William.

Since then the site has gathered visitors interested in the revelatory symbols of the lion and the unicorn from all over the world.

This site features an online tapestry of eight websites on poetry, art, and nutrition by Emily Isaacson. 

Emily Isaacson is known for her stylized poetry under the symbol of the fleur-de-lis and her sites have drawn over 100,000 visitors from over 45 countries.

Avalon is the land of poetry, the isle of apples. In this series, the mythological isle of Avalon weaves its magic through the tapestry of the Lion and the Unicorn, woven in a magic tower called Braithwaite by the Doorkeeper. Aurias is the heroine of the myth, and escapes from the dominion of the Count at the castle of My Eternal Rose where she is held captive when the Doorkeeper sends her through time.

Aurias travels to the village on the isle of Avalon and reaches the cottage of the baron and Blithe, and meets their son Ethan. Aurias and Ethan marry and go to live at the Golden Castle of Avalon, and their four children are Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring.

Aurias is a red-haired Waterhouse muse for the paintings of My Sweet Rose and The Lady of Shalott. Her brother, Opheus, a young knight, vows to avenge his mother's death by barbarians, and takes off on a midnight steed but is captured and held prisoner in the dungeon of an evil enchantress dressed like an old hag. He eventually escapes and rescues Aurias's daughter from her untimely death in the lily pool.

When the moon wept,

transient in its wakeful vigil,

sonorous as an Ethiopian sky,

soft-spoken without a lie.

And now, the two kneel in solemn oath,

as good as a night wand, sprinkling stars;

one country, touching another,

in dedication and romance.

England and Scotland, unveiled,

reaching as though to find

some glorious sanction, once foretold,

and the splendor of years.
