Introduction to Dragons.

Since time immortal dragons have been part of mans legends.  Many cultures around the entire world have stories of dragons in one shape or another.  Mankind has a subconscious knowledge of the dragon and its powers that even the assumed thin veneer of so-called civilization cannot remove.

Let's go back hundreds of years; mankind has been captured by the vision of the mythical dragon.  The dragon has been a symbol of knowledge and wisdom power and wealth.  Early mapmakers drew dragons at the edges of their maps to denote unknown territory.

Priests of Egypt and Babylon called themselves Sons of the Serpent-god or Sons of the Dragons  Druids of the Celts spoke of themselves as snakes.  In Mexico, priests of Quetzalcoatl referred to themselves as the race of the Dragon.  The Welsh word Draig, or dragon, was used to denote a leader, war leader, or prince.  Even today the royal banner of Wales has a four-legged red and gold dragon on it.  In alchemy, the dragon was considered to be matter, metal, and the physical body.  Also mentioned in conjunction with the dragon was the dragon's sister: spirit, metallic mercury, and the soul.

In Ancient alchemy they used a picture of a dragon as one of its many secret symbols.  A dragon holding its tail in its mouth is the unending circle of eternity.  Near this circled dragon would be written the Greek motto en to pan, or "all is one."

Dragons's became a symbol of evil only after the Christians spread the tails of the devil, and calling him the Dragon.  Only by instilling such deep fears, of eternal punishments, could the priests and the church leaders manage to grasp tight control of rulers and their governments.
