| As we move through out the year we
enter the different seasons these according to the teachings of Tiamat are
each ruled or embodied by a different type of dragon. This dragon is brought
to reside in the heart of any witch who wants it to do so. It serves as a
way to help keep the witch in tune with the seasons and it helps that witch
also maintain their balance while in that season. The dragons however do
more then that they also affect the nature of the populace of the world
during there season by changing their nature and the way they are prone to
react to any given situation. below is a list of the different dragons and
what each ones nature is. It is this nature that people adopt into
themselves Summer (red dragon) The red dragon is a very powerful creature that is full of energy and life. it enjoys a good adventure and often goes in search of such. The red dragon also has a quick wit to it. It fears almost nothing but has enormous respect for those it feels are its equals. the red dragon has the strength of the year and it constantly seeks ways of maintaining the things started earlier in the year by the green dragon Fall (blue dragon) The blue dragon of the fall is probably the wisest of the season dragons. It is very calm and constantly try's to put things into perspective. This dragon is not one to rush into a situation as it prefers to try to develop a plan before any action is under taken. This dragon loves to think things through. It is however not afraid of taking action if the need should be pressed. Winter (black dragon) The black dragon of winter tends to stay within its caves deep under the earth where things are still alive during the winter months. This dragon is very secretive and generally not in a good mood. It wants to be left alone and would prefer to be the one seeking others out rather then be the one being sought out. The black dragon embodies that hermit within all of us that just wants to be left alone for a while and will come out when it chooses. Those who seek to force the dragon out often meet with bad results and tend to leave quickly. The black dragon however is the most reflective dragon it thinks on the past constantly, this bring the dragon a deep level of insight and understanding.

Spring (green dragon) The green dragon of spring tends to want to come out of her caves and spring forth into the sky spreading her wings and greeting the new year with hungry eyes. This dragon wants to get things accomplished and started. It is not impatient in its manner but it is impetuous this dragon also has the energy of life and of youth coursing threw its veins. This dragon, however, tends to set up a rough sketch of a plan and began on it immediately. Sometimes this is not meet with the best results but so what thinks the dragon, "I am young and there is plenty of time to start over." a side note: there are also the gold and silver dragons of the year but these do not change with the seasons they are the supreme female and male deities they rule above all others they have no certain names but they do have many faces and the faces do have names HERN , TIAMAT, MORRIGAN, THOR, ETC. .......well you get the idea. Anyways I hope this helps you all in some way blessed be shade

Dragons A fabulous animal, represented as a huge winged serpent with a crested head and large claws. Winged dragons made their first Western appearances in the works of ancient Greece and in the Bible, but it was medieval Europe whose imagination was most captured by the stubby-legged, fire-breathing monsters. As legend had it, any of those terrifying creatures, often having formidable horns, horrible fangs, and pestilential breath, might hold a town hostage and devour young virgins until it was killed — most likely being beheaded or impaled — by a virtuous knight, usually armed with a magical sword. The most famous hero to rescue a town and maiden was Saint George, whose victory was seen as an allegory for Christianity's triumph over the powers of darkness. Dragons also loomed large in Chinese folklore, where they were relatively benign. But in the West they were evil; the real-life model for the fictional vampire Dracula, the prince Vlad Tepes, was nicknamed Dracula after the Romanian word for dragon and devil. Even in death, a dragon reportedly had extraordinary powers. A drop of its blood could kill instantly, and its teeth, planted in the earth, sprang up overnight as armed men. In the 19th century, fossil evidence of the existence of the pterodactyl, an extinct winged reptile, led to speculation that dragons, far from being purely mythical, may at one time have been real monsters that had survived from the age of the dinosaurs. In Mythical Monsters (1886) New Zealand geologist Charles Gould declared: "We may infer that it (the dragon) was a long terrestrial lizard, hibernating and carnivorous... possibly furnished with wing-like expansions...." A discovery that took place in 1912 gave some support to Gould's theory. A Dutch pilot who crash-landed on the island of Komodo in Indonesia reported seeing huge, grotesque-looking, carnivorous creatures resembling dragons. Investigations confirmed the airman's story. The animal he had seen was a giant monitor lizard, now known as the Komodo dragon. The creature grows to 10 feet in length, has a long powerful tail, feeds on carrion, and sometimes attacks and kills people. From New Guinea, too, have come unconfirmed reports of lizards that are even larger than the Komodo dragon. It is, however, difficult to understand how these particular giant lizards, isolated in a part of the world remote from Europe, could have played any part in the development of the Western legend of the dragon. Could it be that the Western dragon developed from a memory in the collective unconscious of modern man, a memory of other, widespread, fierce and fearsome animals, survivors from the age of dinosaurs — a memory passed down from our primitive ancestors, who lived in terror of such creatures? People in Durham (England) still sing of the "worm" — Old English for "dragon" — which terrorized the county in the Middle Ages. It all began when the young heir to Lambton Castle went fishing on a Sunday. He caught an eel-like creature, which he threw down a well. In the well the worm grew to an enormous size, and when the young knight went off on a crusade, it broke out and devoured men and beasts. Every night it would sleep while wound three times around Lambton Hill, now called Worm Hill. Young Lambton managed to slay the dragon on his return from the crusade, but only by promising a witch he would kill the first creature he met after his victory. Unfortunately, it was his father who was first on the scene. Young Lambton refused to kill him, and, because of this, the Lambton family was put under the witch's curse — a curse said to be effective still. Related videos: Dragons. Dragons - Myths & Legends.

| Dragon people are balls of fire! They are full of vitality
and love of life. Always on the run, they drag their faithful band of
admirers behind them. Dragons are egotistical, eccentric, demanding, and
giving. They are proud, direct, and loaded with high ideals which they always try to live up to. Having a zeal for life, they want to live it on a grand scale. They have the potential for accomplishing many great things as long as they don't get too far ahead of themselves. When dragons do something, good or bad, you can be certain their deeds do not go unnoticed! Dragons are always making the news. It is next to impossible to win an argument with Dragon people. They intimidate anyone who challenges them. Once you arouse their anger, they keep after you for a very long time. Dragons are extremely loyal to friends and family. When really needed they always come to the rescue. They are the first ones to say "I told you so". In spite of being overly emotional, a Dragon is not sentimental or even romantic. They will just take it for granted that everyone loves them. Although they are stubborn and irrational, they are not petty or begrudging with their favors. It is hard for them to hide their feelings. They don't even try. Not being secretive themselves, they can't be expected to keep a confidence for long; but Dragons speak from the heart and are always sincere. Their manners may seem brusque and too direct, but they merely want to get things moving. Being creatures of action, they motivate others, too. They often get into rushes and fail to see the flaws in a situation. Instead of diving in, Dragons need to learn to check things out better. Dragons need purpose in their lives, causes to fight for, and goals to reach. An uninvolved Dragon is a sad sight indeed. Dragons consider themselves very strong. They will often bite off more than they can chew. When this happens, they are too proud to ask for help and exhaust themselves. Dragons can do many things well. They may be artists, politicians, doctors, or ministers. When Dragons choose the right profession, they will be successful and devoted. They just can't help winning! In romance, Dragons are seldom the losers and are usually the ones breaking hearts. Dragons don't marry too young, and many are content and happier living alone. Dragons will always have more than their share of friends and admirers to keep them company. Dragons are really softies and fall apart if they lose their supporters. They dazzle as long as there is someone who believes in them. submitted by: Opal_Intrigue |
