DRAGONS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS
Being the greatest of Dragons, the two Elder Dragons are the most difficult to describe. They embody the principles of Light and Darkness on a cosmic level, most similar to Yin and Yang. They are balanced opposites in harmony. Working with them is like touching pure active or receptive, two concepts very difficult to grasp.
They are far easier to work with and communicate. This is in no way to state that they are impossible to work with, only that it is difficult to do so due to their vast powers. Approach Them as you might approach the Tao in Chinese philosophy, with respect and reverence. See Them as the living embodiment of the principles of Yin and Yang, Night and Day, Darkness and Light.
It is also important to remember that 'evil' and 'good' is neither one's sole domain, They contain both, as do we.
The Elder Dragons are invoked primarily as an augmentation to any other working you are performing. They are called upon to help balance the work you are performing and to lend that certain something extra.
"Light of the Spirit, Symbol of the Sun
Be with me now 'till the spellwork is done.
Help me balance all Karma and force
'till i reach the end of my life on this Earth
Guide me and teach me, O' Dragon of Light
Lend my magic your Power this Night!" "Dragon of Darkness, Your Power will run
until the time my magic is done
teach me your secret, the dark not to fear
For dark is receptive, not terror or tear
Dreams of the Spirit soar with the Night
wrap me in guidance, You, balance of Light"
The dark dragons of chaos and destruction are a subspecies of the dragons of the dark. Much like their fire counterparts, they destroy to purify. Also like the fire dragons, they often go beyond the human scope of thought when doing so, destroying pieces thought to be unassociated with the goal in mind.
However, unlike the fire dragons, the dragons of chaos and destruction focus on other parts of life--not just purification. They bring recreation to our lives, relationships and careers when these areas seem to have fallen into a stale rut. They are also extraordinary diviners, specializing in past life regressions.
They are great protectors of forward movement and growth (which is why they make such barrier removers). One particular method of removing barriers, which these dragon specialize in, is the confinement of the power of others who try to stifle the callers growth in any way. Thus they are perfect for binding spells. This seems contradictory in that binding seems to be hindering the "victim's" forward growth and movement. However, the dragons don't consider puposeful harm of others to be any sort of growth, but rather a stagnance. In placing the binding, they are creating change (hopefully for the better) for the bound person.
