I believe in dragons, I don't think that's much of a secret. Not as actual Harry Potter like monsters of the mountains, but more spiritual beings, symbols of the power and magic that is all around us. By calling on them you call upon the true magic. You can see them sometimes, in a roaring fire, a storming sea, on the sky during a thunderstorm. They're always there to remind us that they exist perfectly fine on their own.

I have a movie a friend sent me, about the possibility of actual mythological dragons existing. It's called The Last Dragon, and tells a "what if" story, arguing how the mythological dragons might possibly have existed until well into our time. I love that movie...while it's just a movie, the possibility is still there. It's plausible enough to be at least close to the truth. You can see dragons in almost all mythologies, on all continents, in some form or another. Sometimes evil, sometimes good, but always powerful and dangerous.

There is even an island right outside Greece, where one of the last dragons is rumoured to be sleeping.

I love my dragons. I bring them with me as tokensd of luck, and a link, or foci point, towards the most magnificent source of magic I can think of. I wouldn't dream of actually summoning them myself, I serve more than use, but by inviting them into my reality, they've brought magic with them. Or I'm just getting better at seeing it, recognising all those little coincidences and signs that steers me in the direction I want to go. But they sure don't make it easy. They'll stake the path out, but let you walk it yourself. ;)

Would you call on dragons to guide you? Or perhaps some other beings, if so, which?

if i knew how of course. thena gain its such a far cry for me i'm still trying to figure ot how to access my energy

i'd call falcor the luck dragon...i could use some of that. lol.

as for what guide i'd call to me...maybe a panda bear for determination (unsure if that's the accepted meaning or whatever of panda bears)...and something for temperance.

serendipity, I have dragons on the brain lately.

Looking into the accounts of dragon sightings going up this past decade (which may just be more people coming forward).

I am compiling a list of advice for people with sightings who want to be takens seriously.

1: No matter how dragon like it was, or how clearly it was a dragon never under any circumstances refer to it as a dragon yourself, even cryptozoologists will step away from you. Instead call it what it next most closely resembled, giant snake, giant lizard, giant bat, pterasaur, living dinosaur, sea serpent, lake monster (even if either one was on land). and such in that manner.


Now as for spiritual dragons, I assume we mean the easter Loong here.
I don't know of anything that would summon a full dragon to the scene, but there are a number of rituals and such for calling upon the power of the more higher up dragons. Which basically just means dragon gods.
which for all we know may just be the natural form of gods, after all why would immortal etherials in their natural state look anything like humans?
instead of powerful beings whose form varies from individual to individual as much as it does for demons.

You referring to the ones the Japanese call the Ryuujin?

That isn't the Japanese word for all dragons, that's one specific dragon (the dragon king of the Sea of Japan who rests in a grand palace at the bottom).

More like a god who assumes a dragon form (as are many far eastern dragons) essentially Celestial Dragons.

The reason dragons exist in nearly every culture is that fossils exist in nearly every country. Not a huge leap of the imagination to connect giant lizard like skulls to giant lizards...Adding a few wings and the ability to breath fire, eat mountains and oh I dunno...Sneeze time...Just icing on the cake really.

which is one of the theories out there.

Unfortunatly not everywhere we see dragons has good fossils or those of large predatory dinosaurs (such as the Arctic) where even there we get dragon like creatures.

the big problem is that no two are really all that simular to each other(when the nations arn't in constant connection to each other), but are composites of that areas most dangerous animals and given a reptile like form.
