Dragons are wonderful, magickal creatures that have been misunderstood for centuries. Perhaps one of the most common legendary monster, the dragon, is perceived as an immense, bat-winged, fire-breathing, scaled lizard or snake. Some have the head and forelegs of a lion or bird of prey. Because of their terror-inspiring qualities and decorative figures, dragons were commonly used as warlike emblems. Along with the myths of dragons came legends of dragonslayers.

Perhaps all these myths and legends are true. Only time will tell.

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 center 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 boudaries to their kindgoms. 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.
