Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart (born Diana Moore, formerly Morning Glory Zell) is a neopagan author and lecturer. She designs deity images and identifies as a priestess of shamanism.[citation needed]

Life and work [edit]

Morning Glory began her involvement with neo-paganism in 1968, becoming a priestess of shamanism.[citation needed]

Her article "A Bouquet of Lovers", first published in Green Egg Magazine in May 1990, contained the modern English term "polyamory".[citation needed] While it is unclear whether she originated the term, this article served to popularize the concept.[citation needed] She is known as a founding member of, and educator in, the polyamory community.[citation needed]

She is known for the creation of the "living unicorn" created by surgery to the horn buds of a goat, a technique first attempted by Dr. W. Franklin Dove, a biologist in 1935.[1][2][clarification needed] One of their "unicorns", Lancelot, toured with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
