Dragon continued. I ran out of space before dragon got done. This took many books to compile and is as you see an involved totem, hence the length.
The Chinese have the dragon as a symbol of the highest plane of existence (the Force itself) to the earth plane to the underworld. In Chinese the dragon is the only being capable of traveling from the highest to the lowest unscathed. Here again the dragon represents the dark side of the Force or the judgment arm of God. Here dragon is more of a Palpatine outwitting all below who think themselves great. The Chinese considered dragon to be the yang element or positive. The dragon had special powers It could be visible or invisible. The dragon could be tiny or huge, short or long. They could fly high in the sky or low to the earth. Dragon could be bright or dark. The dragon controlled the rains and nourished crops. Here dragon to the Chinese are similar to the frog to the Egyptians.
"A dream of seeing a dragon without a tail or feet or a dragon falling to the ground portends the end of a state or dynasty." book called "The Interpretation of Dreams in Chinese Culture" by Fang Jin Pei and Zhang Juwen. Some times a dragon dream means that the dreamer will get to meet the Emperor. The color of the dragon in Chinese is important for example; a black dragon in a dream that comes to this monk meant he was going to die. A red dragon in Chinese is strength and vitality.
Dragons are seen guarding treasures and the golden fleece, this symbolizes hidden wisdom that will open up for you or a new threshold that you will soon cross in life. Dragons like snake symbolizes the Kundalini. The dragon is connotated with the male phallus strength and excitement. This is the Basilisk form of dragon The basilisk is cobra-like in some lore, therefore attributes of snake and cobra should be studied as well. Basilisk can breath fire and has a deadly venom. Whenever an animal has a deadly venom it can teach you how to have a deadly venom or how to transmute it so as not to die of the venom.
It could kill with a look from its eyes. This symbolic killing is about a change in spiritual consciousness. The shock is due to the suddenness and the rapidity of the change as one reacts to suddenly bumping into a basilisk or cobra-like creature. This is enlightenment the hard way or the Sith path due to the sudden convulsions represented in the basilisk symbolism. Remember dragon is related to the snake and the lizard with the bird ability to fly. The pterodactyl would be the closest thing to a real dragon discovered by scientists.
Like all snake symbols, the dragon as basilisk has great magical properties. Its skin could repel spiders and snakes and thus provide protection against them. Silver rubbed with its ashes would become gold. Crystal could reflect its deadly venom. This is why wizards liked the crystal, to wield its deadly venom but under the control of the wizard.
Basilisk can teach you how to entrance and control using eye contact. Hitler was a modern person known to use this magic to gain adherents. There are many German accounts of how Hitler looked in peoples eyes and instantly, mysteriously gained their trust and loyalty. This is why Hitler is attributed to being a foreshadowing of the infamous Anti-Christ. On the bright side basilisk is attributed to the Holy Spirit giving the gift of discernment, meaning the ability to see into another person's spirit and instantly knowing whether said person is good or bad. Basilisk is a lizard found in central and south America which has the ability to sprint across the surface of the water while standing on hind legs, upright like a man. Because of this " walking on water" it is also called the Jesus lizard thus giving it all the light side traits associated with Jesus. This lizard is found in the rain forest which symbolizes the life sustaining abilities of Mother Earth. Here basilisk is a symbol of life. So like the turkey vulture basilisk is a symbol of both life and death and eternal life in spiritual form and merging with the Force. Here dragon is not only complicated and dialectical but it embodies qualities of many animals such as crow, turkey vulture, snake and lizard and the solar aspects of hawk and eagle. Dragon is one of the most complicated of totems.
Basilisk due to the lore of guarding treasure one can invoke it to protect the belongings in your house. Before you do, it is a very heavy dense energy when used for this purpose. This is why the Bible says do not store into barns because the magic used to protect your precious objects is more foul and heavy than a full blown death curse. This is why all practical magic books tell you to think twice before invoking this spell.
In Egypt the population of serpents, dragons and snakes was controlled by the ibis, a bird that eats snakes.
Dragon as a source of creation and destruction links it to Shiva creator, sustainer and destroyer. Also again turkey vulture of the birth, death, rebirth process. If dragon comes as a totem in a dream or vision it means that your senses and life energies will be amplified. Dragons are the most sensitive of all creatures since in their symbolism they embody a composite of many creatures. Dragon is the force of wisdom, strength and spiritual power. It is a primal force of creation and a guardian. When dragon shows up, you will begin having greater strength and guardianship in your life.
Remember when you get dragon it is your intuition and your communication with the Force is how you can see what dragon is saying to you. These are guides not cannon only you know what dragon is saying to you when dragon arrives. Only you know your life circumstances that made dragon appear in the first place. If you are honest with your self and meditate to find the answers you will enjoy your walk with the animal world. Any and all additions are welcome.
The first dragon pictures are of pterodactyls.
