NOTE — This article is transferred from the old website this one replaced. My Path has changed a lot since.

Dragons are creatures allows loved, but never thought I would have one visit my dreams.

The dreams started just after the sacred Pipe being shaped for me was completed.

In these dreams, the dragon spoke to me and although I cannot remember the words, I do remember the sound of its scales and form as it moved about.

Strength and wisdom within its presence as well as a strong and very much “awakened” since of purpose.

I felt it has a task for me that falls in line with it’s purpose.

Now, I cannot say much more about it other than its a Celtic dragon.

This is where the brain normally goes into overdrive, but where also a term I had never heard before comes to mind. … “Thought Cage.”

Thought Cage is a term I first heard of in a Viking inspired fictional novel I’m currently reading, “The Shadow of the Gods” by John Gwynne.

It turns up when a character becomes lost in their thoughts, are thinking about something, or turning thoughts over in their mind.

In my case, it strikes me as a trap to be avoided as it’s very easy to overthink or over analyze things.

Feels more right to simple see what is out there and what catches the eye.

The following are what captured me.

  • The dragon, a creature of myth and legend is found in almost every culture of the world in some form. In Celtic mythology, the dragon was believed to be of a world that was parallel to the physical world. It was thought, by the Druids, that the dragon’s power affected the lay of the land. They believed that the path the dragons took was important to the flow of energy through the physical world. Areas where a dragon passed often, where dragon paths crossed or places a dragon stopped to rest became more powerful than the areas surrounding it.

  • In Celtic mythology, dragons are powerful symbols, viewed as creatures that protect the earth, stand side by side with the gods, and have great power. They are symbols of fertility, wisdom, leadership, and strength, and images of Celtic dragons can be seen in artwork, architecture, and even today, in flags, logos, and more in the Celtic area.

  • So powerful were these creatures that it was believed they could affect the lay of the land, and paths where dragons had passed were considered more powerful than others. They were viewed as symbols of power, leadership, wisdom, and fertility.

    However, after the advent of Christianity, this positive perception of dragons began to change. Celtic dragons began to be depicted as monsters that needed to be vanquished. They were adapted into legends of Christianity, where they’re portrayed as monsters symbolic of evil that are eventually slain by Christian saints.

  • Dragons appear in all Celtic Mythology. They act as guardians of wisdom and knowledge, possessing great clairvoyance and the power of prophecy. Celtic dragons united earth and sky, they guarded treasures and the gates to other worlds.

  • The Celts believed that the Green Dragon breathed a fire that had the power to purify and give new life. As guardian spirits who protect the Earth and all living things, Celtic dragons are probably the most powerful of all Celtic symbols.
