Celtic Dragons
Filed under Celtic dragonsSep 29Dragons are a mythical beast famous in both Asian and European tales. The national flag of Wales features a red dragon, so dragons have obviously influenced the Celtic lands.
In Celtic history and mythology, dragons represent sovereignty, or a chieftain, as in the word (and name) Pendragon, which means chief.
The idea of ley lines is popular among new age and occult researchers. These are the lines that connect sacred spots, and energy is supposed to flow between them. Ley lines have been compared to the idea in Asian medicine of meridians, which connect the various organs of the body. Ley lines have also been called “dragon lines,” suggesting that dragons inhabit the places beneath the earth where powerful energies flow.
An interesting source of ideas about the place of dragons in Celtic myth was written in the 19th Century by J.F. Campbell, Celtic Dragon Myth
, which can still be found today.
This video features a haunting Celtic melody by David Arkenstone, entitled, The Dragon’s Breath, accompanied by some cool dragon images.
