Re: Dragons everywhere you look!

I once got to read a very old news paper clipping from a town out west during the "pony express" times...... If I can track down the woman who had it I will ask for a scanned copy. It showed a picture of a pony express rider with a very large claw decorating the top of his flag pole. The general gist of the article was how frightened pony express riders were of animals they described as flying, giant lizards and this man had killed one........
Wouldn't know how to tell if it was faked. I was a teen when I saw it. It was in a protective casing? Any one else ever hear of stuff like that??

I just think that there are too many worldwide stories -crossing too many cultures and languages to ignore it. Truth becomes legend and myth..... kwim?

Re: Dragons everywhere you look!

there are so many legends about dragons because the dragon is a symbol of a deeper knowledge that is buried in the legend itself .... in a sense we are all dragons because we each hold the energy of this knowledge but the energy does not move when you are grounded to the earth and the material world .... I teach my grandson about dragon energy and he was told that not everyone believes in dragons .... but it is not the dragon that we speak of, it is the spiralling energy that moves in the body .... it is said that "only the emperor can ride the dragon to the top of the mountain", but that is not the truth, anyone can ride the dragon to the top of the mountain once you remove the barriers .... as far as I can tell, all legends (regardless of culture) have at least four levels of meaning .... one must be able to dive deeply into the ancient ocean to unveil the most sacred meaning .... my grandson's nickname is "mo'o" which means "dragon" .... you can search the world and keep looking for the answer to the great mysteries, but the answer is within your reach and you need to stop look outward .... read the legends of king arthur with new eyes and you will see things you never saw before .... the quest for the holy grail is entwined with the knowledge of dragons .... enjoy the stories .... me ke aloha pumehana, pohaikawahine

DRAGON

From the Greek dra′kon, depicting a terrifying monster, a serpentlike devourer. It occurs 13 times in the Bible but only in the highly symbolic book of Revelation, and it represents Satan the Devil.
