Grain was in my mind, but wheat fits perfectly. Good work.

Now what's your riddle?
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Raven

I am the bearer of loads
I am the spinning you ride
I am the presser of roads
That cannot face tides
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

The wind blows, for good or ill, and I must follow.

Raven

Wagons may have two or four
Semis, they have many more.
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Coír Draoi Ceítien

Ah, a wheel.

I think I was toying with this answer before, but I believe I felt it was too simple.
The wind blows, for good or ill, and I must follow.

Raven

Riddles are often about simple things, I think.

So what's yours?
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Coír Draoi Ceítien

I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns.
The wind blows, for good or ill, and I must follow.

Ugh. Fire is always hungry, and smoke never returns, but fireplaces aren't usually said to sit, are they? Shucks and other comments, Ceitien!

QuoteI drive men mad for love of me.
Easily beaten, rarely free.
This is clearly a description of Woman, not Gold.

And on the slight chance my guess is good enough, here is a riddle I created:

I am born after death as a sign of life,
An image of triumph, having overcome strife.
Hope see my friends when they look upon me,
And companions encouraged -  they too can be free.
I can be from animal, from plants or of bone,
Working wonders for friends, but not on my own.
When strangers behold me they often see fear
And corruption and death, for sight is unclear.
Behold me with eyes made anew from the blind
And blind too shall see - for our Maker is kind.
Vincit qui se vincit.

Coír Draoi Ceítien

The wind blows, for good or ill, and I must follow.

Philosoraptor

No, but it's the right ballpark.
Vincit qui se vincit.

Raven

I'm guessing you're not being so specific as to say no to a cross if the answer you intended were a crucifix?

Otherwise I've got no idea.
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Raven

Are you referencing a relic?
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Philosoraptor

Ooh, Raven's a smarty! It is indeed a relic of a Saint!

Take away then, O Raven Wise
Vincit qui se vincit.

Raven

This one is my own:

I let you see
I let you hear
On water I make it hard to steer.
I say goodbye .
I say hello.
I help to make a rainbow.
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.

Philosoraptor

Vincit qui se vincit.
