Dragon Magic with Snow Dragon
Throughout history, you will find stories about the evil creatures dragons were. You will read horrid accountings of how dragons were slaughtered and eliminated from earth. would you blame dragons if they distrusted humans? would you be surprised if it takes a long time for a dragon to trust you enough to appear before you? i thought so.
Seeking out and working with dragons can be a hard and arduous journey. It takes time to earn the trust of these majestic beings. Do not be surprised if you do not get the desired results when asking dragons for help with spells or rituals right away.
In the most simple ways, it is best to seek them out and offer good tidings. how, you ask? it is simple. an easy offering ceremony regularly in an area where dragons are believed to be, or even a nice celebatory ritual pledging friendship to dragons can be helpful in gaining their trust.
I warn you now. do not try to envoke dragons for the wrong reasons. there is nothing more fearsome then a dragon who feels betrayed. dragons expect to be treated with the utmost respect. do not try to decieve them or cause others harm. it is not the way of the dragon, and though i can not say you will be punished, it is not the wisest thing to do.
First things are first. i will address some of those questions i know you are asking yourselves. Below i will address each question individually.
If dragons exist, why cant we see them?
because they dont want you to. for hundreds, even thousands of years, when recorded history fails us, dragons were persecuted, hunted and slaughtered out of fear and prejudice. the preconceptions of humans about dragons forged a huge hole in the human - dragon relationship. Where humans and dragons could have co-existed, humans decided to kill and desecrate. unable to take this kind of disrespect, and not wanting to cause harm to humans despite such cruelty, dragons disappeared from the world of man. to where, no one is sure. The dragons will not tell the location of their homes, so it is best left alone when in conversation and communication with dragons.
If i decide to work with dragons, how will i see them or talk to them?
deciding to work with dragons can be a lifelong commitment. do not tred lightly when it comes to affairs of a dragons heart. when a dragon commits, its with their entire being. they expect the same in return. In order to seek dragons, you must be very open. dragons love nature and can be found everywhere. Walking through a big field of flowers, or sitting under a tree, you need but to open your mind to allow the dragons magic to touch your soul. this openness can attract dragons to you. if they want you to see them, you will. communication can be difficult, mainly because a lot of dragons do not much care for the 'uncultured' languages of humans. despite their distaste for the language, they will communicate if they feel you deserve it. it can be dreams, spoken words, even signs you see throughout your days.
How do i please a dragon?
dragons do not require earthly things. burn insence, burn scented oils and even sacrificing some bundeled herbs can please a dragon. offerings of honey and other delightful tasting and smelling items can please as well. dragons like music and dance. you can play recorded music and dance, but it is always best if you can play an instrument. if you end up playing recorded music, make sure there are no words to the songs. if you feel up to it, create your own verses to the wordless songs. it is pleasing, and it is a sign of respect and reverence.
I believe that a dragon has taken a liking to me, what do i do next?
what would be next would to start slowly with a couple of rituals. the best thing to do now would be to do a charging ritual (a basic ritual for charging yourself will be posted soon on the rituals pages). this helps deterine how much energy the dragon is willing to help you with. of course, you will have to do a envoking ritual before the charging and a thank you ritual at the end. after you have done the charging ritual, you will want to create an altar (more information will be put up on the altars pages). then you will want to bless and charge your dragon ritual tools (more details on the rituals and ritual tools pages). after you have doen this, it is on to doing more complex, but still small spells, rituals and ceremonies. only after working closely with your dragon for some time, will you be able to move on with your spell work.
What if my spells dont work?
this can be a personal matter as well as a more complex dragon matter. often we have a problem accepting dragons as real creatures. why shouldn't we have our doubts? no one has seen a dragon, according to history, in hundreds of years. it can boil down to your own personal beliefs and what you stand for. also, dragons can take a dislike to paticular spells if they believe that the spell can be harmful to others, or if you seek power and fame and wealth, no matter the cost. be wary of what you want before embarking on the long path of dragon magick.
I know there are some other questions, but most of them will be more personal to you. i hope that any other questions will be answered in the pages that accompany this one. it is my goal to help those who wish to seek out and work with dragons, so that they may acheive their goal.
I wish all who begin this journey a safe trip and a wonderful outcome.
