What is Dragon Magick?
Dragon Magick is the calling upon of Dragons to aid you and become co-magicians with you. Dragon Magick can be practiced on its own or along with other Magickal Traditions. Dragon Magick is not for everyone. Those who practice Dragon Magick must be self-disciplined seekers who realize the potential dangers but dares to communicate with and befriend this vast astral power of the ages. Dragon magick is a serious topic and is not to be meddled with, hence the fact that there are many dangers in this kind of magick due to the immense power it has.It is for the Magician who is serious about working with dragons on a magickal, spiritual, and friend-wise basis.
When a Magician dances with Dragons,as the practice of Dragon Magick is called,he/she discovers an intensity of power never before tapped. When tapped into this intensity is exhiliarating and a Spiritual high. When you are befriended by Dragons as co-magicians they can empower your rituals no matter what tradition you practice far beyond what you have normally encountered. Their grasp of ancient knowledge is deep and profound. Their ability to see through layers of time both present and past as well as the future is astounding and quite accurate if they choose to reveal what they see to you. As protectors during rituals or everyday life there are no equals.If you are chosen by Dragons under their tutelage you will have the opportunity of constantly learning and evolving your knowledge and magickal ability.
If you take the time to forge a friendship with Dragons they can become the best companions you would ever want. Although this companionship can seem to harsh and demanding it is always in your best interests. A lifelong dance with Dragons is never boring for it is a constant exploration of various types of energies and the uses in which these energies can be applied. Dancing with Dragons can be a joyful,daily experience and one that is eagerly sought after by all participants for the mutual sharing of energies during ritual as well as in life helps out both species in their evolution and spiritual growth. The more that Magicians seek out the companionship of Dragons,work with them, and earn their trust the more Dragons will be encouraged to once again have a closer, positive relationship with humans in general just like they did in olden times.
Dragon magick is a high magick where you and a dragon are working together and exchanging energies and power to work magick (co-magick). THIS FORM OF MAGICK IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART AND ANYONE WISHING TO ENTER THE REALM OF DRAGONS MUST BE BOTH STRONG OF HEART AND SPIRIT. DRAGONS ARE VERY REAL CREATURES THAT COME AND GO FROM THE ASTRAL PLANE AS THEY PLEASE. DRAGONS ARE CURIOUS CREATURES, THEY ARE VERY WISE AND CONTROL GREAT POWER. THEY ARE ALSO VERY COUSCOUS AND YOU MUST EARN THERE TRUST AND CO-RESPECT BEFORE THEY WILL MANIFEST FULLY FOR YOU!
THIS WORLD HAVE STORIES OF DRAGONS IN ONE SHAPE OR ANOTHER. SOME ARE DEPICTED AS HUGE WINGLESS SERPENTS, OTHERS ARE MORE LIKE THE TRADITIONAL PICTURE WE OF THE WESTERN WORLD HAVE OF DRAGONS: HEAVY BODIES WITH WINGS. DRAGONS ARE SHOWN WITH FOUR LEGS, TWO LEGS, OR NO LEGS AT ALL. SOME DRAGONS WERE SAID TO HAVE AN ARROWHEAD-POINTED TAILS, WHILE OTHERS HAD SPIKED KNOBS ON THE END OF THE TAIL. SOME HAVE TWISTED HORNS, OTHERS LONG ANTENNAE RATHER LIKE THOSE OF MOTHS. BUT THE DRAGON, IN WHATEVER FORM, IS THERE IN THOUSANDS OF FOLK STORIES, REGARDLESS OF THE DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO IT. HUMANKIND HAS A SUBCONSCIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DRAGON AND ITS POWERS THAT EVEN THE ASSUMED THIN VENEER OF SO-CALLED CIVILIZATION CANNOT REMOVE. BUT WHAT ARE DRAGONS? ARE THEY REAL OR IMAGINARY? IN THE WESTERN WORLD, OUR WORD DRAGON COMES FROM THE GREEK DRAKON AND THE LATIN DRACO. DRAKON COMES FROM A VERB MEANING TO SEE, TO LOOK AT, OR POSSIBLY TO FLASH. CERTAINLY IN MOST LEGENDS DRAGONS SPEND THEIR TIME WATCHING, WHETHER IT BE TREASURE, TERRITORY, OR THE SUPPOSEDLY CAPTIVE MAIDENS.
THE WORD DRAGON IS USED IN MANY DIFFERENT FIELDS, AS DIVERSE AS ASTROLOGY, ASTRONOMY, ALCHEMY, MAGICK, HERALDRY, PSYCHOLOGY, AND THE STUDY OF DREAMS. FROM THE TIME THAT HUMANS BEGAN TO RECORD THINGS, DRAGONS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. IN ASTRONOMY, THE ANCIENT CONSTELLATION OF DRACO IS IN THE NORTHERN HEAVENS AND CURVES IN A WINDING PATTERN BETWEEN THE BIG AND LITTLE DIPPERS. THE STAR DRACONIS IS A BRILLIANT DOUBLE STAR. THE CONSTELLATION HAS PROBABLY SHIFTED OVER THE MILLENNIA AND MAY HAVE ONCE BEEN THE POLESTAR TO WHICH THE PYRAMID OF CHEOPS WAS ALIGNED.
ANCIENT ASTROLOGERS CALLED THE NORTH NODE OF THE MOON CAPUT DRACONIS, OR HEAD OF THE DRAGON, AND THE SOUTH NODE CAUDA DRACONIS, OR TAIL OF THE DRAGON. THE NODES (THE ACTUAL MEANING IS "KNOT" OR "COMPLICATION") ARE NOT PLANETS BUT POINTS WHICH RELATE THE MOON'S ORBIT TO THE ACTUAL ORBIT OF THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN. IN ASTROLOGY THE NODE SYMBOLIZES INTAKE AND POSITIVE ASPECTS, THE SOUTH NODE RELEASE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS. THESE DRACONIC NODES ARE STILL CONSIDERED IMPORTANT TO TODAY'S ASTROLOGERS.
IN ALCHEMY, THE DRAGON WAS CONSIDERED TO BE MATTER, METAL, AND THE PHYSICAL BODY. OFTEN MENTIONED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRAGON WAS THE DRAGON'S SISTER: SPIRIT, METALLIC MERCURY, AND THE SOUL. ANCIENT ALCHEMY USED THE PICTURE OF A DRAGON OR WINGED SERPENT AS ONE OF ITS MANY SECRET SYMBOLS. A COMMON SYMBOL OF SPIRITUAL ALCHEMICAL WORK WAS THE DRAGON OR SERPENT HOLDING ITS TAIL IN ITS MOUTH, AN UNENDING CIRCLE OF ETERNITY. NEAR THIS CIRCLED DRAGON WAS WRITTEN THE GREEK MOTTO EN TO PAN OR "ALL IS ONE".
THE FABLED PHILOSOPHER'S STONE OF ALCHEMY WAS ALSO CONSIDERED THE ONE WHICH IS ALL. THIS STONE WAS CLOSELY CONNECTED IN ANCIENT WRITINGS WITH THE GREAT WORK OF ALCHEMY; THE GREAT WORK SIMPLY MEANS HUMANKIND BECOMING GOD, OR MERGING WITH THE SUPREME CREATIVE FORCE WITHIN, THUS COMPLETING THE CYCLE OF HUMAN GROWTH BY RETURNING TO THE SOURCE.
