Dragon - Guardians

The Guardian Dragons are adept at their tasks and quite skilled in fulfilling their charges.

Remember that their place is to guard and keep secret, not to do anything else, and while they may try... success is not guaranteed. That comes from not following the hierarchy.

Other tasks may be asked of other dragons for whom the task falls closest to their sphere of influence.

Guardian Dragons may be called to serve for a brief period of time (length of a trip ) or for an indefinite time frame (length of a marriage).

Guardian dragons are the most friendly of the species and the most fun-loving.

They enjoy simple impromptu rituals that include dancing, singing, and general fun. Simple, very relaxed rituals are an excellent was to introduce children into the field of ritual and getting acquainted with dragons. It is also a very good way for adults to unwind and release stress.

These dragons are attracted to ginger and sweet-smelling and spicy incenses. They are greatly interested in divination and have a tendency to hang over your shoulder while you are reading cards or practicing crystal gazing, for instance.

They are interested in stories, especially if the dragon in portrayed as powerful wily, and not defeated by puny mortals.

If you are having trouble visualizing your dragons, try using a piece of rock crystal. It does not have to be flawless, nor does it have to have points. It would appear that this type of crystal acts as a kind of magnifying glass to the psychic through the third eye in the middle of the forehead.

When you have mastered the technique with rock crystal, experiment with other kinds of translucent rocks.

Remember, dragons have individual tastes in things, just as humans do.

Chant:

"Little Dragons, Rainbow Bright
Good Friends of This Family,
Send Good Wishes To Us All..
Join Our Rituals Merrily,
Protect Us Through Each Day and Night.
While Awake or While Asleep
Through Your Love and Vigilance
Do This Family Keep"

There are THREE methods for summoning them, one for immediate needs, one for the short term need and one for the long term. All of which need to have an ending point to their service.

They cannot be summoned to stay forever. Bear the time frame in mind as you summon them and thank them afterward.

Summoning The Guardian Dragons

TYPE 1: The Sudden Need Summoning.
This summoning is short and to the point.

Usually used to protect the caster or another in a sudden crisis.

Here are several incantations for just such moments:

"By Dragon wing and Dragon claw,
My(his/her) Defense is without flaw."
"Shrouded by Dragon might
Remove me(him/her) from their(his/her) sight."
"Fly before me (him/her) Dragon bright,
And blind my(his/her) foe with Thy light"
"Full of rage and terrible ire,
Burn them(him/her) with Thy Dragon Fire!"
"Dark and terrible be Thy wrath,
Dragon, protect me (him/her)on my(his/her) path!"

Make the Sign of the Guardian (either in the air or on your brow) In the Air, pull thumb and pinkie fingers into the palm and with middle, index and ring fingers draw three lines at once. Then bending the ring and middle into the palm, draw one line down the right side of the other three. On a surface simply draw it as you would in the air.

Sign Of The Guardian:
Once the task is completed say
" Guardian Dragon thanks be to you,
My friend both steadfast and true!"

TYPE 2: The Short Term Protection.
This summoning is used for short term goals and needs such as protecting an object being leant, or anything for a brief period, such as a car ride or elevator trip. Mark the object to be protected with the sign of the guardian and repeat the incantation below:

"Gentle Guardian wise and strong
keep it(me, him/her) as it (I, he/she) doth belong.
Safe within thy charge and care,
the current problem to fare.
No harm to come or ill to befall
Guarded and safe through it all!"

TYPE 3: The Long Term Need
This form of summoning is closer to permanent as we would perceive it. Yet in this for you must still work with a time frame in mind, however distant it may be.

Guardian Dragons may be summoned in this fashion for protection of people places and things needing or deserving long term care (such as children, houses, spouses, etc). Multiple objects can be protected with but a change in grammar, but they must be together for a single dragon to protect ( the objects become a mini- horde).

"Dragon brave and Dragon wise,
let nothing escape your eyes.
I summon your from your hidden lair,
(name object here) is entrusted to your care.
Permit no harm to come to ( named object) within your sight, in your presence let all evils take flight.
No baneful creature born of flesh or spirit,
may touch (name object) nor even come near it.
Let those that would bring harm,
be filled with fright and alarm. "
