Dragons Of The Zodiac


As there are dragons of the Planets, so are there dragons of each
sign. Some magickal systems look upon these dragons devic1 in
nature and therefore not as powerful as element I have not found
this to be so. I leave it to your own personal experience to decide
the situation.

Sometimes we need to enhance the good qualities of the sign
under which we were born, sometimes lessen the negative
qualities. Many times we need the qualities and energies of other
signs for a short period. By using the chant under each zodiac
sign, the magician can add to her/his magickal energies,
particularly when she/he must face a sticky situation or deal with
difficult people. However, no magician should work with the
powers of one sign too long or she/he may develop too much of a
particular power, thereby overbalancing.

As with planetary dragons, indeed all dragons, the magician
should extend a mental invitation to join the ritual. Choose music
that reflects to you the zodiac sign with which you are working.
Steven Halpern has recorded some very beautiful New Age music
specifically for the zodiac signs, but these may not appeal to you.
Response to music is a very personal thing. Your responses can
even change from time to time, depending upon your emotions,
physical health, and environmental situation. What feels right one
time may not be appropriate at another.

Like the planetary rituals, these zodiac rites use candles, herbs,
and oils of the appropriate sign to connect with dragon energy
and draw on it. The colours in parentheses are those given by the
astrologer Noel Tyl.

Use the Basic Dragon Ritual as a foundation ritual, adding the
appropriate colours, herbs, etc. Insert these chants in the place
where spell working is called for. Dance with your dragons; sing
with them; chant vowel sounds with them. At the end of
whichever zodiac chant you decide to use, meditate on absorbing
the energies and qualities for which you have asked. Listen
inwardly for suggestions.
