Animal Power #7

Close your eyes.  Think of Dragon.

What do you feel?  What do you see?

For me, Dragon will always represent guidance towards knowledge and wisdom.  Why?  Because it was Dragon who took me on my first journey to discover who I am – a journey that led me to the stars, to my Master Guide, and to recognition of my ancient Self. 

Most people, especially in western cultures, will think of Dragon as a fire-breathing giant creature who lives in a cave, guarding a massive pile of gold and other treasures.  We think of Smaug in Lord of the Rings, or St. George slaying the dragon.  This slaying of the dragon carries many meanings such as overcoming your personal “dragon” of addiction or anger, or the fire or ice of fear.  It can represent the inner struggle we humans have to understand spiritual matters, but for me the story that rings with most truth is that it is a metaphor for the slaying of the Sacred Feminine. 

Dragon travels through multi-dimensional realms and therefore cannot be seen by those who are not embracing the Dragon energies of study, seeking knowledge and understanding, and the expansion of our perspective of reality. 

Dragon represents many ‘treasures’ and I am not talking about gold or precious gems.  I am talking about knowledge, wisdom, honour, responsibility, and clarity of purpose.  Dragon Energy can help you to learn how to find your strengths and how to stand in your own power.  But be warned, much as Dragon is of the essence of creation, if ego is brought into play with Dragon Energy, destruction is likely to be the result.

Yes, Creation and Destruction are two sides of the same coin, and Dragon epitomises both. 

Did you see Dragon as a mythical, terrifying, fire breathing creature? 

Or multi-dimensional Guardian of Knowledge and the Sacred Mysteries?

Or both?
