Working with Dragons — My POV

When you look up "draconic magick" or "dragon magick" there is not really a lot to read. In fact, a lot of the info you'll find looks like a copy-paste from one another.

So I thought I would bring my own insight into what working with dragons feels like to me. Not exactly an informative post, just a "personal experience" one.

I believe it is important for newcomers to read about variety of experiences because otherwise, they might start feeling their practice is "wrong" if things are different for them.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

If it wasn't clear already...

UPG WARNING!!!

This is my experience only, other practitioners WILL have different takes on working with dragons.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Regarding Identity

For the majority of my journey with dragons, I have only worked with one dragon. They reached out to me, but took me years to finally feel ready to work with them, and since I was still a bit insecure, I didn't really seek out other dragons.

By the way, I use they/them pronouns because I don't feel a particular gender signature coming from them.

They are strongly tied to energies of the ocean and I have only seen them as very serpent-like.

The other main dragon I have worked with, who showed up a lot later, is a dragon strongly associated with fire and protection, and his energy is mostly masculine from what I can tell.

As of now, this is what I can share about them. One of the things you'll see being talked about dragons is that you should not talk about the ones you work with unless they give you permission to, and for the most part, this has also been my experience.

They can be quite secretive — I had the ocean dragon very often remind me to stay quiet about the work I'm doing, and be very careful about what I share. Not just about them, but about myself.

Some things need not be secret forever, but when they ARE supposed to be done quietly, I will get the nagging, almost intrusive feeling, of keeping my mouth shut whenever I am itching to say something I shouldn't.

They have also shown to be secretive when we work together, as in I'm instructed to do something a certain way but not told why until the work is done.

And I understand why afterwards.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Demanding?

From all dragons I have worked with, they have always been quite insistent. Be it regarding how something should be done, how to behave, or on what to get.

Please do not misinterpret this as being pushy or forcing boundaries.

What I mean is that some spiritual beings can be very subtle with their messages when they want to tell you something... But for me, dragons aren't subtle. They keep sending signs and messages until I get it.

by Kou Takano

As for being demanding, it depends on your relationship with them.

They were not demanding at first because I was still unsure of what I wanted, but once I decided to commit, they definitely started communicating more and giving instructions on work we should do together.

So there's a greater degree of commitment that we both respect.

As for being "demanding" with offerings, to me they seldom ask for those. If I do it it's because I want to, not because they have asked or shown they needed it. In terms of spiritual beings I have met, they seem to be the least interested in offerings or praise. But again, this is just my experience.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Personality

It can vary drastically from one dragon to another.

For me, the Ocean Dragon is serene, regal, mysterious, but standing in their presence can also feel scary and can make you feel small. They also have a more turbulent side.

The fire dragon feels much more assertive, fierce, loyal, but at the same time less "massive" in size and less intimidating somehow. They remind me of a knight or paladin archetype to be fair.

by Carolina-eade on Deviantart

So I assume that personality and energy signature, as well as your relationship with them, will change drastically from one dragon to another.

I have not experienced finicky, prideful, or petty behaviour from them. Dragons are often considered in media and mythology to have big egos, but to me, they feel the exact opposite... wise and humble, but their presence is so massive I feel one must be very careful not to mistake their good disposition for weakness.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Conduct when working with dragons

I find that while they are wondrous and inspiring, their energy can feel intimidating, and maybe because of that I feel like I must be more serious when working with them. I am not necessarily being formal around them, but I do have a great deal of respect for them and other creatures in their presence.

It feels more like respecting the elders than an authority figure though.

As for magical conduct, I have never had to work with them on anything that did harm to others. In fact, they have heavily aided me in works that focused on helping others.

They have also helped me through my fair share of shadow work. So, both right and left hand path.

You may see some folks claiming that dragons have no qualms with helping mages with "dark magic" and that you actually must work on keeping balance, "working on both sides of the coin" if you will.

They have never demanded that of me, though I recognize it could just be in respect for my decision of not wanting to do most baneful work.

I can't say I fully understand their nature and moral compass yet.

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Types of Dragons

So far, they seem to come in all sorts of shapes. The traditional western-type dragon is far from being the only one or the most common one. Some may look much more like snakes or birds than to winged lizards.

I can see some elemental associations, but I don't think they are restricted to working with just one element.

Unfortunately, since I don't know many dragons, I am not sure if they are always tied to an element or how many types there are.

However, the ones I met did seem to "dwell" in certain environments. The ocean dragon I only see in water, and the fire dragon I have seen on top of a rocky hill, looking down a vast, dry, sunny field.

As for dragon guardians of the elements, directions, etc – I haven't met them, haven't worked with them, so I don't know if there is such a thing.

by Kou Takano

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Mythological Dragons

I have not met a lot of people who worked with widely known dragons, such as Tiamat, Fáfnir from norse mythology, or Yamata-no-Orochi from japanese tales.

But I feel working with them would be a singular experience, just as it is with any other dragon (or spiritual being for that matter). It could be easier considering you would have at least an idea of who they are and what they may like, either from "lore", ancient worship, or SPG (Shared Personal Gnosis).

This is still something I'm thinking about exploring in the future.

Fáfnir, found on Harreira.com

_________________♡♤◇♧_________________

Conclusion

This was just an overview of what working with them feels like to me. I'm definitely not as experienced as some other folks I've talked to, and my practice is constantly constantly evolving.

So far, it's been great! I'd love to hear from other people on draconic magick.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Or share your experiences as well!

Thank you for reading!

Bringing Out Your Inner Dragon

This was something I crafted alongside my dragon companions that I thought others might find valuable. It's designed to utilize the energy we associate with dragons, find that within ourselves, and bring it to the surface for a boost of confidence, self-control, and awareness of our inner power. This can also be used in a dragon copinglink kind of way if desired.

What You'll Need

A candle

Dragon's Blood/Breath Incense

A bathtub

Any meditation tools you prefer (I'm using an accupressure mat and prayer beads)

Optional: Anything dragon-y you'd like to include to help create the atmosphere! This could be things like dragon figurines, ambient music, wearing special jewelry, whatever helps get you into that headspace. If you add more candles, just make sure the main candle stands out from the rest.

Instructions

Start drawing your bath. Add whatever bath salts/melts/bubbles you like, just keep in mind you'll be putting your head under the water later. Set the ambiance.

While the bath is filling, light your candle and incense. In whatever words feel right to you, call dragon energy forward into the space to help guide you. Any dragon guides/companions/etc you'd like to invoke can also be invited here.

Imagine the bath like it's the fluid inside of an egg. Your egg! Let your wash clean you inside and out, then sit back and relax. Close your eyes and focus on the breath. You're in this egg, slowly forming and gathering yourself. This is the time to think about what being a dragon means to you, what it looks like for you specifically, the precise way that your dragon energy feels. Take as long as you need to answer these questions honestly.

Once you're ready, submerge yourself (if you can't submerge your whole body don't worry, just try to get your head.) Take a few beats to really center this idea in your mind, then emerge once you're ready to "hatch." Drain the bath and dry yourself.

From this point forward, treat yourself as if you are a dragon! Do what feels right, move and express yourself freely. Speak or roar if you want. Just let it come out the way it wants to. (Try to avoid eating anything, though, since that's very grounding and we want to maintain this headspace.)

Once you're ready to wrap up, it's time to meditate again. It's fine and normal for your mind to wander, just gently try to keep at least a piece of your focus on the breath. We're letting this energy sort of settle into place. If you've invoked any dragons to assist you, feel for what messages they have for you.

Time to wrap up. Wiggle your toes, open your eyes, and start grounding. If you'd like to extinguish your dragon candle, be sure to thank it before doing so. Thank any dragon helpers and leave them some kind of offering as a thank you.

If you try this, let me know how it goes for you!! I'd love to hear peoples' results.

So some of the material I’ve come across over the years has some... interesting ideas about things that dragons like/don’t like/are allergic to.

One author (Mitchell) says dragons dislike cheesecake. Conway (last dragon magic book of hers) claims dragons are allergic to poppy. Modern “spirit keeping” sources (CH) promote sea glass as dragons’ favorite offering.

What are some of the more unique things you’ve seen along these lines, and how do you and the dragons you associate with actually feel on them?

#dragon work #dragons #dragonkin #spiritae draconum #dragon spirit #cheesecake=<3 #no problems with poppy #I hate the physical and energetic texture of sea glass #most dragons I work with don't care either way #dragon witch #dragon magic

Meet Avery, the Pink Opal Dragon Shifter [Mod Lilac]

Name: Avery

Species: Pink Opal Dragon Shifter

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: fluid/sapphic leaning

Alignment: light

Personality: Avery is bold, bright, and exudes confidence. She is full of life and energy and is always ready for a new adventure. She’s most looking forward to exploring and spending time with her companion doing all sorts of new things from outdoor activities, to art shows, to music festivals and nearly everything in between.

At first she’s generally a little quieter and more shy around new people, but often quickly opens up to be her loud, boisterous self. She laughs loudly, with her head thrown back, without any care of being “too much.” She stands for what she believes in, and has a strong moral compass. She’s usually unafraid to speak her mind, especially when protecting those she cares about. Will not hesitate to punch a N*zi.

Description: Avery is short and spicy. She’s about 5 feet tall, in her human form, and has deep pink hair that comes up to her shoulders. She often dresses in black - everything from dresses, to pants and blouses, with platform boots. She loves nail art and will have her nails done about twice a month. Her hair is shoulder length, and it is naturally a dark pinky maroon color. She often wears black eyeliner in a sharp wing, and lipstick, but not much else makeup.

In her dragon form she is about 6 feet from nose to tip of tail, and only about 4 feet from shoulder to ground. Her scales are dark pink, same as her hair color, and shimmer lighter in the sunlight to a bubblegum pink, and deeper to a maroon in the shade or at night. Her wingspan is about 12 feet from tip to tip, and she quite likes flying.

Hobbies: Avery loves listening to music - everything from bubblegum pop, to heavy metal. She often takes photos at concerts and often helps organize charity concert events. She has dabbled in drawing and painting and sometimes returns to those hobbies. She also likes to go out for long walks, and explores new neighborhoods, both astral and physical.

Likes: music, art, concerts, activism, museums, fashion and makeup, spicy foods, puzzles, watching videos online for inspiration

Dislikes: bigotry, homophobia, bugs with “too many” legs like millipedes, sunburn, the feeling of wet clothing on the skin

Favorite color/s: pink, teal, purple

Favorite animal: Emu

Favorite Song: Labour by Paris Paloma

Closest spirit friend: Mainey the Hedgehog Pixie Shifter

Magic: Avery is great with glamours and self-love/self-care magic, spellwork, and rituals.

Companionship: Avery would do best in a medium sized family (no more than 50 members total). She loves her freedom and the ability to move around and explore without feeling weighed down, but she’s really looking for a home base to return to, and to build some closer friendships.

Having someone to help ground her sometimes more chaotic energy is necessary, but she doesn’t want to be the main/solo companion for someone. She feels that that would create too much stress on her to “perform.” She’s not looking for romance at this time. She WOULD like a vessel and is open to ideas.

Bonding activities: Exploring your neighborhood - checking out any local shops, museums, art exhibits, parks, quiet corners etc; listening to music together, watching videos or reels together, especially makeup based or music based ones; potentially going to activism events if you’re comfortable with that; going for walks; she’d like to take you on a flight via astral once you’re comfortable with that.

Price: $22.22

Conjurer: Mod Lilac

If you're feeling called to Avery please apply for her here
