Celtic Dragon

Fierce and loyal
Mythological and fantastical
The Celtic Dragon
Rises and takes flight
Cosmic forces swirl
Influencing the ley of the land
Drawing power up
And focusing it
Within the markers of our land...
Like Stonehenge
That pulse with an inner hum
That joins the Dragon lines
Sending power forward and back
In time and place
Drawing souls into the realm
Of the dragon.
Strength personified
And made manifest.
In Celtic Chieftains -
Pendragon.

Dragons are mythical creatures that have existed in cultures around the world for centuries.
The Celts believed dragons were creatures of magic and power. Their very presence could affect how magic flowed through the land.
Celts thought dragons were wingless creatures, appearing as worms or water-serpents. As dragons traveled across the land they created lines (called “ley lines” or “dragon lines”) in the earth. The lines were conduits of energy. Any place where the lines crossed was a place of increased power. An example of this is Stonehenge where many believe the sacred stone circle was built on a power center created by crossing ley (dragon) lines.
Dragons have always been associated with the Power of the Land. Even today, in many esoteric rituals, people believe that invoking the "Eye of the Dragon" will increase their personal power.

The ancient Druids believed the Earth itself was like the body of a dragon, and they built their sacred stone circles upon the "Power Nodes" of this body. They believed dragons connected us with the Earth's magnetism and healing waters.

Many of us have heard the mysteries of the "ley lines", especially in relation to the location of mystical sites such as Stonehenge and the site of many mysterious crop circles. What you may not know is that another way of saying "ley lines" is "Dragon lines".

Green Celtic DragonIn ancient Celtic Ireland, the "ley of the land" was not about the geographical, physical nature of one's surroundings. It had a much more powerful meaning than that.

To the ancient Celts, the "ley of the land" was a term describing how the Cosmic forces flowed through and influenced the area, as well as how the area itself affected those Cosmic forces. Dragons were thought to have a tremendous influence on the "ley of the land", hence the term "Dragon lines".
