HERE THERE BE DRAGONS
Stuff you should know
You've never actually SEEN a dragon? How sad. Pay attention and you
will. Remember those old maps? On the very edge of land, where
uncharted waters began, there was a legend that said "Here there be
dragons." Well, they are HERE TOO!
WARNING !!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
It is important to warn you that messing around with dragons, and even
though they do have very good senses of humor, they can prove to be a
bit unnerving, as dragons know humans taste wonderful when served with
catsup. So, properly warned, let's begin.
Dragons are everywhere, in the physical, mental and emotional planes.
And they love being a very important part of their chosen humans
lives.
It is essential to learn all about these archetypes so that when you
see them you'll be able to greet them properly and invite them to stay
with you.
Young dragons are called dragonets or hatchlings and must feed almost
constantly. Their diet includes large rocks, melted into a flammable
liquid by their highly corrosive stomach acid, which, when snorted out
of the dragons nostrils, ignites, and enables them to breathe fire.
The hatchlings work long and hard at this great talent and usually
have it perfected by the time they are two years old.
They delight in sneaking up behind their elders and demonstrating this
feat, which can often result in stern discipline, and loss of flight
privileges for several days.
At a year old, they have reached seventy percent of their adult size
and have learned to fly, a skill that is not easily learned. as many
small dragons experience air sickness and a few tend to be acrophobic,
at first. But fly they do.
Seeing dragons is as easy as ging into a meditative state and looking.
And looking. They are out there, on the Astral Plane, doing their
dragon thing, waiting for you to get around to visiting.
After awhile, you'll see them on this earth plane too. The hatchlings
love perching atop computers and frequently cloud monitor screens with
their breath.
PERSONAL DRAGONS
Get comfortable. Close your eyes. Go into a meditative trance state.
Use whatever method of meditation you find suitable, start looking.
You've all seen pictures of dragons (why else are you looking at this
site?) and it should be fairly easy to visualize these creatures. You
may find they will appear, reappear and have a fine time making you
doubt your sanity, but with time and practice, you WILL MEET YOUR
DRAGON. Huzzah!!!
DRAGON CLASSIFICATIONS
Dragons have been divided into these four main sub-classifications,
especially for humans who tend to need guidance, and really love
having ALL THE FACTS!
LINDWORM This classification is wingless but has feet. They cannot
fly, but are very adept at breathing flame. The flow of energies
radiating from the Lindworm is slow and direct. It just keeps coming
and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Scares the bejeebers out of
those who would do you harm.
AMPITERE This classification is footless and winged. Their wingspan
allows them to stay aloft constantly and they are always flying
around, out there on the Astral plane looking over you. The flow of
energies from Ampeiteres has a looping effect, which pulses forward,
increasing in strength with each loop. Great for guarding Frakencence
trees, which is but one of their duties.
WYVERN This classification is both winged and footed and probably the
most commonly represented Dragon portrayed by artists. They both fly
and run and could win a horse race without even getting winded. The
Wyvern's energies dart from place to place, once here and then there.
Another wonderful protection when someone is trying to get into your
psychic space.
GUIVERE This classification is footless, wingless, but has fins.
(Think Nessie! She's just a very old Dragon who inhabits Loch Ness in
Scotland and every so often is sighted by someone. She loves
publicity!) The Guivre's energies are slow and flowing. It just glides
in and hits, before one realizes they've been spotted by the Dragon.
NOTE: Dragons often breed with other classifications, and you my find
yourself with variations of all sorts of combinations of wings, feet,
tails and other dragon characteristics. It just makes Dragon Lore all
that fascinating.
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
Scientists of the carbon based persuasion have attempted to
reconstruct dragon bones and have brought forth many theories about
them.
The dragons are still laughing.
You may be one of the lucky ones who has several dragons, whether it's
because they love you so much, or that the Elders of Dragondom have
decided that you Really Need Watching.
And you may have one of each, or at least a couple from different
classifications and this is a truly wonderful thing, as each Dragon
will play his/her special part in your life.
DRAGON NAMES
Listen closely. Each dragon has a very special name, or several AKA's
given to them as they develop their dragon personas. Listen again, and
then listen some more.
When your dragon gets comfortable with you, he/she will whisper that
special name. (They already know yours!)
GUARDIANS/HATCHLINGS
The guardians range in size from the size of a dragonfly or sometimes
smaller to the size of small dogs. And to keep you constantly
surprised, they love to shapeshift into all sorts of creatures, sizes
and hues. Be careful where you step, lest a small tail find itself
under your foot.
They take it all very seriously, and you must too, as an angry dragon
is not, let me assure you, a pleasant spirit to behold. (Remember,
they do breath fire and direct the flames at you if taken lightly.)
SCALE OF THE DRAGON DEFENSE
When you feel threatened, pull hand sized dragon scales up from you
feet, all around your body, over your head. Envision them as mirror
finished, facing outward toward your antagonist, and the threat will
simply be mirrored right back at who or whatever is threatening you.
And both you and your dragon can have a great laugh at the cause of
all this concern.
PROPER DRAGON BEHAVIOR
Being very elusive creatures, as well as being way too polite to
intrude, dragons come only when summoned, or in the event that someone
or something is threatening the mortals in their care.
And since fully grown dragons range in size from that of a present day
horse, to that a medium-sized house, or even larger, (remember they
shape -shift at will) the sudden appearance of a flame breathing
Dragon is one no menacing force will ever quite get over.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Knowing as much as you possibly can about these archetypes, helps in
locating and understanding the dragons you'll meet.
Type in the keyword "dragon" and your computer will go crazy telling
you everything it has gleaned on these fascinating creatures.
They inhabit every part of this and surely other Galaxies and no
telling where they will turn up next. After all. we're talking about
DRAGONS.
