In Chinese mythology, the Cosmic Dragon represented in this year eternally pursues the Pearl… a symbol of Spiritual Light & Beauty, often seen as an aspect of the Eternal Feminine. In Western mythology, a hero or knight must slay the dragon to rescue the treasure, usually a princess, and live happily ever after. All such romantic storytelling… Dragons, Treasures, Damsels, Pleasures…whose storytelling is this, anyway?
Do you have a Dragon story that you enjoy? Maybe a tattoo…a favorite song…a game… there are many associations with Dragons…
Here’s a friendly challenge– share a Dragon story in honor of the Year of the Dragon. Share a link in the comments section below… let’s see how many Dragons still live out there…
Gung Hay Fat Choy!

No real Dragon story per se but this is what I am:
THE WOOD DRAGON 1904 AND 1964
Wood has a modifying influence and brings creativity to this sign. Questioning and liberal, Wood Dragons enjoy talking about original ideas and are open to other points of view. They are innovative, imaginative practical and appreciate art in each of its forms. Generally less pretentious than other Dragons, Wood Dragons have an ability to get along with other people. They have the essentials to build a prosperous and happy life for themselves. Still, Wood Dragons are outspoken and at times a bit pushy to quell everyone, even in the most friendly quarrel.

Awesome website… I love the Dragon Anatomy & Physiology section…Avian? Reptile? Missing Link? Definitely fuel for the imagination! Thank you for taking the time to comment, Steve. Your visits are always appreciated!
