In all forms of magick, the universe and everything in it are said to
be made up of four elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth. The
element of Spirit rules the centre as a balance. In dragon magick,
specific dragons rule these elements and help to create through
their powers.

These four elements correspond to the four directions, the four
quarters of the universe, the four winds, and the four quarters of
the magickal circle.

Each element has assigned traditional rulers and boundaries to
their kingdoms. They possess form and force, and can influence
our personalities as well as magickal procedures. Each element
and its dragons has certain qualities, natures, moods, and
magickal purposes; each has positive and negative traits. Because
the magician calls upon each element and its ruler, it is very
important to understand them, what they are and what they do.


A Dragon is a fabulous animal represented as a
large-winged, scaly serpent with a crested head and huge claws.

In reality, where did the conception of this great beast come from? Perhaps it's
origin is our imagination and dreams. When did it come alive? Perhaps life
happened when mankind's first nightmare breathed life into it. Some people say this
magnificent creature is unreal and, of course, you have those who say it lives. I
believe the latter . . . do you?

In actuality, the creature is of a tremendous size and immense intelligence. As with
all living things, there are different ages, sizes, types, and shapes. It is said that
dragons of evil nature are such colours as white, black, green, blue, or red, whereas
the good and kind dragons are said to be metallic colours such as brass, bronze,
silver, gold, or platinum. To be truthful, the colour of the creature's scales have
nothing to do with its nature, but rather its breath weapon, strength and intelligence.
In truth, dragons are neither good nor evil, but what their environment makes them .
. . just as it is with mankind. Dragons have been christened with such elite titles as
Guardian of Law, Champion of Justice, Defender of Mercy, Protector of Purity, and
Patron of Virtue. Throughout history, they've befriended the helpless and weak,
ridding the world of those who are merciless and unjust. Although not destructive
by nature, all dragons have been known on occasion in their zeal for valour, even if
by accident, to obliterate their enemies while carrying out one of their elite titles.
The question is, will we ever see one? Sadly, the answer of present day is no
because our reality is too hard, cold and industrious. Our world lacks the
imagination and creativity the great dragons from ancient realms need to survive for
extended periods of time. However, if we close our eyes and dream, we can travel
to the medieval age of the mighty knights and the magnificent world of Camelot
where perhaps then, the answer will be yes. As it is, the majestic dragons, although
silent and patient, still dwell within the caves of our dreams, waiting to be called
forth to carry out their exalted titles.

O Lord, who made the dragon, and the dragon's open sky, And gave to me a
dragon's soul; a dragon's urge to fly-- Let me dance within your cloudscapes far
beyond Earth's chain, Let me rejoice in my grandeur, let me not grow vain! Let me
vindicate my honour with my fang and claw, Let my raging heart show mercy, let that
show no flaw! Let me have the joy of all the shining gold I've stored, Let no
pauper-dragon go forth starving from my hoard. And, Lord, should the need arise
and I be called to fight, Dragon-Maker, make me victor, and, God--help that knight!

My friends, All of us love Dragons. Not only because they represent something
which we believe is missing in ourselves, such as nobility or honour, but because
they are part of the "old world". Where anything was possible. Some people say
that Dragons never lived or have died out of this world. I say they haven't. We just
need to rethink ourselves and get back our innocence to see them again. Not our
"purity" as man thinks of it but innocence. How long has it been since you took time
out of your very busy life and just sat? Watched the sun come up or go down,
watched the stars shine in the velvet darkness, or even just watched the birds?
When you can do those things and recapture your joy in simple things than maybe
just maybe we will see the dragons again. They are there... living just out of sight
with all of the other beauties of ages past like the Faeries, Gnomes, Sprites,
Sylpths, Unicorns and Griffons. Please try sometime. I think that they are just
waiting for us to believe again. I know we live in a world that is hard to exist in.
One of poverty, disease and war.. but beauty is only a belief away. We can make
the changes that our world needs...if we only try.
