Here Be Dragons!

DragonDreaming

Welcome to Dragon Dreaming — my collection of information, illustrations, dreams, meditations, magic …whatever… about dragons. It’s a work in progress, and probably always will be, as my ideas about exactly what to add here keep evolving.

There’s some information and ideas that I’d love to be able to include here, but really shouldn’t out of respect for the Dragons, as they don’t like to have certain things divulged to all and sundry. As with any close personal relationship trust has to be maintained and some things just shouldn’t be shared …or someone could end up seriously burned! ;-)

2012 ~ Year of the Rain Dragon

As this astrology reading by Malvin Artley has a dragon theme I thought I would share it here. :D

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2012
“THE YEAR OF THE RAIN DRAGON”
23 Jan 2012

Kung Hei Fat Choi Everyone!

Time to pull the dragon costume and your finest silks out of the mothballs. The 23rd of this month marks the commencement of the Chinese ‘Year of the Water Dragon’, or Black Dragon, depending on your custom. The poetic name for this particular Dragon is the ‘Rain Dragon’, but lest we begin to think this will be a year of greater flooding and wild weather, just hold that thought for the time being. This Dragon represents so much more than flowing water, and some pretty fabulous stuff has come out of Rain Dragon years, as we will see shortly. The Year of the Iron Rabbit was certainly memorable and we will review that in due course, but for those of us who may be a little shell-shocked from what has happened over the past few years – indeed, the past decade – 2012 looks to be an easier year. Yes, there will be major events and some unpleasantness, but there seems to be a pervading sense among people I speak with that there is cause for optimism in the Year of the Rain Dragon, and as this letter unfolds, I think we will be able to see why.

On the Wings of My Dragon Drum

Early one morning I finally had an opportunity for some uninterrupted quiet time (or so I thought) to try some trance drumming with my new drum. I settled back on my bed in a comfortable position and began drumming a steady beat, trying to quieten my conscious thoughts and let myself drift into a dreamlike meditation or trance. (more…)

Hey dumbass!!

Ah dear ol’ Facebook …the place where “friendships” can be made and broken in an instant without ever meeting anyone in person. I posted the following friendly message on a fellow Pagan’s wall (we had “met” online in a Dragon Magick forum)… (more…)

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 28,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Dragon Incense Burner

One of my Xmas gifts this year was a beautiful terracotta Dragon Incense Burner which Son2 had bought from Berry Markets a few weeks ago. There was one left of this particular dragon, which was also the only one of a suitable size to go on my altar, but unfortunately it was damaged and didn’t work properly. The vendor was going to throw it away but Son2 asked if he could have it anyway for a substantially reduced price, with 2 boxes of incense cones thrown in as well. (more…)

Dragon Drumming

This is the story of how my newest drum came to be.

In the beginning…

It was over a year ago now, in late August 2010, when I discovered the (more…)

1136 & Shooting Stars

During a meditation I attended on Dec 11, 2011 we were guided to connect with Merlin, then go on a journey to relive possible past life experiences. I saw the numbers 11:36 displayed as a digital time, then the colon faded out and the numbers became the year 1136. I assume this was 1136 AD rather than BC/BCE, but I don’t know for certain. I also saw a blue shooting star or meteor …or perhaps it represented a comet …not sure about that one either but I think a meteor is more likely. (more…)

Dragon Spirituality, Draconity & Otherkin

I came across another dragon website today ~ “Jafira’s Lair” at www.jafiradragon.com ~ which had some intriguing personal opinions and insights about dragon spirituality, ‘draconity’ and ‘otherkinism’. So, as I’m always on a quest for knowledge about dragons I’ve added some of it to my collection here. (more…)

Merlin and the Dragons

I came across this animated story while browsing. I’ve never seen it before, and as it features Merlin and Dragons I decided to add it here. :) (more…)

My Fire Dragon Mask

On Friday October 21 to Sunday 23, 2011 I attended a Beltane weekend workshop where we made masks to represent the Dragons of Fire. I’ve included photos here so you can see the evolution of my mask from its very basic beginning to the final result shown in the image at the left (click image to enlarge). (more…)
