About Dragons

Interestingly, the word dragon comes from two separate Greek words. One word means “a huge serpent or snake” and the other means “I see clearly.”

The word dreki is a loanword from the Greek and Latin form of dragon and is used in Old Norse in different ways: It is heiti (synonym) for the great earth snake-monster that appears in Germanic tradition as ormr or linnormr (lindworm).
But it also refers to a later Roman winged dragon, often breathing fire and having four legs.
The term dreki was also applied to the great longships of the Vikings, where the prow, when carved in the form of a dragon, was intended to protect and impart ferocity to the sailors.
Dragons are the embodiment of “primordial power” – the ultimate ruler of all elements.
This is because the Dragon is the master of all the elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Wind.
The Dragon serves as a powerful guardian and guide.
The Dragon totem is a need for strength, courage and fortitude.
Dragons are also messengers of balance and magic – they encourage us to tap into our soulful nature and see the world through the eyes of mystery and wonder.
Truly an extraordinary gift of power, mysticism and of course good taste!

Dragon symbolism is common in Western and Eastern cultures and represents the ultimate beast, adversary and devil. The dragon symbol also means water, clouds, rain, floods, sin or evil. It is the sea monster of the Jews.

In China, this mythical creature is believed to have existed in the form of a prehistoric monster that lived in the Yangtze River.

In Egypt, the dragon was believed to be related to the crocodile.
It was also the symbol of water, cloud, rain, floods and sin or evil.

In Christian Art, the “jaws of hell” were depicted as the dragon with open jaws spewing flames.
Dragons have also been associated with fire, and therefore, passion.

In many parts of the world, the dragon symbol means dominion, rights and power.
It is also symbolic of floods, clouds and rains.
In the East, dragons have different symbolic meanings based on their colors.
The dragon also has the power of transformation and invisibility.

Some Native American tribes had legends about a dragon-like creature called the Thunder Lizard.
This may have been inspired by the discovery of dinosaur bones by Native Americans.

Native tribes along the California coast told stories about dragons and their role in the formation of the Earth from a dragon and a God.
Before today’s Earth was formed, two Gods – Nagaicho and Thunder – created the earth and put rocks, flowers, clouds and fire.

But soon it rained and flooded everything.
All living things were washed away in the floods and everything became dark.
The earth dragon then flew off with Nagaicho on its back.
When it walked under the ocean, it formed ridges and islands.
