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!

Draconic Witchcraft & Working With Dragons💫

What is Draconic Witchcraft?

Draconic witchcraft is witchcraft performed with or taught by dragons. Some people do not believe in the existence of dragons but I would argue that working with them is similar to working with any other deity. Dragons and their energy is often connected to the four elements and can be very draining to work with. Unlike a relationship with a deity, which can place them on a pedestal, dragons expect equality. Therefore, if they give you something (knowledge, help, etc.), they expect to receive something in return. Draconic magic relies heavily on visualization, meditation and other forms of messaging through the subconscious. Their messages are often very hard to decipher so practitioners are reliant on divination and intuition to understand signs. In order to work with dragons, you must have a strong mind and a strong will. They put practitioners who want to work with them through many trials/tests in order to prove their worthiness.

Why Work With Dragons?

Although draconic witchcraft can be challenging and the information regarding this practice is limited, it can also be extremely rewarding. Dragons help facilitate change and personal growth (although sometimes forced). They are also incredibly knowledgable and can be amazing teachers and guides. Many draconic witches find that the bulk of their knowledge and experience comes directly from the dragons they work with rather than books or research. Dragons appear in nearly every culture in the world and posses great cultural significance.

The First Steps:

These steps come before you even interact with dragons and will help you prepare to begin draconic witchcraft.

Research- the golden rule of witchcraft and the starting point for every new avenue. Forming a basic understanding of dragons and their practices is the first step in beginning draconic witchcraft.

Practice meditation- developing a meditation routine is important because dragons rely on messaging through the subconscious to communicate. Being able to meditate for long periods of time can be difficult so practicing it bit by bit will help you in the long run.

Determine your method of divination- divination is an important tool in draconic witchcraft so determining your favourite method and developing your skills is vital.

Practice visualizing- this one is going to be different for everyone because not everyone can see images in their mind. The way I like to practice is by picking an object in my room and starring at it until I have it memorized. Then I close my eyes and try to recreate it in my mind in as much detail as possible. If you do not see pictures in your mind, try looking online for other ways to practice.

Connect with elemental energies- having an understanding of elemental energies is important because dragons are often very closely tied to the elements. Knowing what the energies of each element feels like to you will be helpful later on.

THE VALOR OF DRAGONS

(a ritual to enchant an object with courage. Note that if you do not recognize spirit as an element, consider it a free space to customize with whatever you desire.)

-five candles, placed in a pentacle -object to be enchanted -wand -symbols of the five elements

“On the element air, I fly freely,

On the element fire, I shine brightly,

On the element spirit, I think deeply,

On the element water, I feel easily,

On the element earth, I grow limitlessly,

On wings I soar, on feet I race,

This (object) will remind me that my soul will go on,

I’m not scared of this place,

Fearlessness into this (object) I weave,

For thus my will so mote it be!”

About Me

I'm a 23 year old nonbinary journalist born and raised in Georgia, and recently moved to North Carolina to be closer to my partner! So yes, I'm a proud Southern Queer. [obligatory meme drop]

Outside of journalism, I love to play Dungeons and Dragons and have also been a long time play-by-post roleplayer (which is how I actually met my girlfriend!). I also love to draw, listen to music, impulse shop and shit like that. Will Wood and Hozier are some of my favorite musicians, and otherwise I hyperfixate on a variety of artists and genres. I'm politically punk and aesthetically goth/alternative (or try to be). I also personally identify with voidpunk, which was coined here on Tumblr! I'm also a Hellenic pagan witch, primarily a follower of Hades. I just moved out of my childhood home where I was in the broom closet, so I am still learning a lot about my practice and craft. I also hope to pursue Draconic paganism and witchcraft in the near future. I have a nearly 9-year-old chiweenie (chihuahua/dachsund mix) named Bobo who is my everything. Even when he causes me trouble. Who knew an old man could be so mischievous?

He's also a Cozy King, if that wasn't obvious. Some of my favorite foods include bubble milk tea, coffee and pizza, lactose intolerance be damned. I also live off of strawberry crystal lights and sweet tea. Yes, I do have a caffeine addiction, thank you for asking. IIiiii...think that sums up everything for right now! Hit the ask if you have questions!

so this video made me wanna share my spookiest witchcraft story, and also genuinely the most terrifying thing to happen to me.

one of my favorite things in witchcraft is bones. i’ve ethically sourced my entire collection (and by that, i mean i found all of it on my own, as well as properly thanked their spirits and cleaned them) and i will never pass up an opportunity to get more.

so, my friend and i went to one of our favorite lakes to rockhound. we found some neat stuff, and i got a cool serpentine chunk for my Mon-Tey. but on the beach, i found a little sliver of what i’m assuming to be a femur or rib. im not exactly sure how the cut on it is so clean (maybe it was food?), but i thought it was cool, so i thanked the spirit and took it home with me.

on the way home, as we were turning onto the road we live on, we were rear ended by a 72,000 pound cement truck. we were in a very small mitsubishi. car crashes are my worst fear, and they’re the reason i don’t drive (which is also linked to health issues that make me more likely to crash). so, i was just talking to my friend, yada yada, and then i black out for a moment, and when i come to, the world is spinning, i’m screaming, my friend is freaking out, and the only thing going through my head is, “i’m going to die.”

luckily, idk if you could tell, i didn’t die. i’m actually completely uninjured, as far as we can tell. i got very lucky with that, especially considering everything under the sun is wrong with my body, and so much as stepping wrong can dislocate a knee.

my friend wasn’t so lucky. his spine and hips might be permanently or at least long-time messed up, as 2 months of physical therapy hasn’t helped him at all. his car is also fucking totaled, which he was so upset about because that car was his baby. he’s suing them.

i think the only reason i’m okay was because of my guardian. maybe it was just a hallucination or false memory, but i’m pretty sure i remember seeing his green and white fur when we were hit.

i’m not actually sure if it was the spirit of whatever bone i found did it. i don’t feel anything really negative when i hold it, and nothing tremendously bad has happened since. but it’s an awful weird coincidence that my worst fear happened after i took it. but uh. yeah. thank your animal remains lmao

𖥞 Please be aware of imposter accounts pretending to be me. I won't ever DM you for readings saying things like "grand Rising beloved," & you can only reach me through my website. 𖥞 Witchcraft isn't just book knowledge or a title for you - magic is who you are and how you live. Moss Agate says you're tapped in to Earth allies & receive signs and advice through your crystals, animal allies, & herbs. Nature steps in to protect you in ways you're just beginning to understand.

The elemental dragons are present to enforce the protection of sacred boundaries & assist in the return of belief in yourself. You've been the target of bullies, energy attacks, & slander since before your awakening. Breaking under this weight caused you to shed your old self & against all odds you have become powerful. People from your past are shocked.

Many of you are aligned with chaos energies (the energy of pure potential, lots of mental magic) & may be using a form of chaos magic to remove baneful workings from yourself and your bloodline. You use it to heal & defend rather than to harm. This subversion makes you untouchable because it required you to balance your light & shadow selves. You no longer weild any weapon against self. Those who would try to use their occult knowledge to harm you or those you caretake have no power because you know what they're up to before they do. The justice card tells me you've earned respect & favor from beings in the astral realm. You're very devoted to your path & learning. You have a dragon mentor who advises you throughout the day. They are saying your path will not fit into any existing molds because you're here to break down the old structures. You are a divine disruptor! The kick man card is reversed - no one will ever kick you while you're down again. You are a master fighter wielding the 3 swords you've pulled from your own heart as a defender. I'm seeing Himura Kenshin so Rurouni Kenshin may have special meaning to you. ❤ Kenshin had a dark past and used his fighting skills to defend the innocent and never end another life. Release guilt about the person you had to embody to survive. Many could not have walked your path.

Building Your Draconic Path

Whether you're a witchy veteran or someone coming into magical work for the very first time, you might be absolutely lost when it comes to starting work with dragons. While I have no intention of telling others how to walk their path, I do feel that a loose guide to help you start building your own framework would be beneficial. Note that this is written for those who wish to work with dragons as beings, rather than dragons as a symbol or ideal, so being able to communicate with them might be important. Also, if you're someone who already has a solid practice in place that does not center around working with dragons, it's not necessary to abandon it and rebuild everything from the ground up; you absolutely can work with dragons within your already existing framework. And even if you don’t have one, it’s alright to just dive in and start working with them. This is for those who want something a little more involved.

The first step is to ask yourself why you want to work with dragons. Is it just because you think they’re cool and powerful? Is it something you’ve heard about from someone else and you’ve been curious about it for a while? Is it something you’ve had an inexplicable pull toward? Are you someone who has already had an encounter with a dragon and feel like this is the next logical step?

Analyze yourself. Ask the hard questions. What are your strengths and weaknesses, what knowledge do you lack? Do the research. Being honest with yourself will get you where you want to go much faster. Also keep an open mind, not because "everything's valid uwu", but because internalizing what others say, taking it at face value as 'fact', can keep you from picking up information meant for you as part of your UPG.

Speaking of which, keep a journal. It doesn't have to be fancy, it's not expressly a Book of Shadows or a grimoire, and it doesn't have to be physical, it just has to be some sort of log for you to keep notes. You can write down your thoughts regarding the path you're taking, but mainly it's to keep track of the information you gain, especially any channeled information or UPG, or any signs you may notice. Being able to return to these tidbits over time is extremely helpful, and you might find that some things no longer feel correct 5-10 months or years down the road, while other things remain solidly true; a changing, growing belief or system is not a bad thing, and re-examining and being able to let go of things you no longer vibe with is a healthy practice. Also, being able to refer back to your notes while doing research can occasionally have some fascinating results, especially if something a dragon told you somehow ends up in a bit of lore. Rare, but it can happen.

Why research?

Besides learning the basics of spellcraft so we can stop repeating ourselves ad infinitum every time someone new appears, there is a rich and varied amount of dragon lore in the world, some of it symbolic, some of it spiritual, and some of it quite revealing of human nature when faced with the unknown. You may end up being someone who works best with Earth Mythology archetype dragons better than individuals from the astral/elsewhere, and knowing these myths would be quite important, especially the different variations of even the same myth through time or between cultures. Learning the lore can also help you tap into draconic energy. You also want to have practical and sound knowledge of any tools or materials you may be drawn to work with, especially in the case of herbs in which non-magical, medical knowledge is crucial if you're going to be using them for more than symbolic or energetic oomph in ritual.

And yes, you can read what dragon magick books are out there to get a feel for what systems others have made. Do they use tools that you could see being useful to your own practice? Do you disagree with the specific beings/rulers they call on, but agree with other correspondences they use? Do they use a code/creed that you largely like? There's nothing wrong with adapting them, as long as it's not something being pulled from any sort of closed culture; seeing as how the vast majority of dragon magick systems are flavorings of Wicca or ceremonial magick, that shouldn't be too much of an issue outside of what those systems themselves might be guilty of.

If you're not simply adapting an already existing system, you should determine the nature of your work, and the relationship between you and the dragons you work with. Some people are not comfortable with spellwork as found in Wicca and other modern pagan paths, but are okay with energy work and prayer. This is absolutely fine and something that is compatible with working with dragons. Some prefer using a Wicca/modern witchcraft-based system, with dragons as co-practitioners. Are the dragons you work with only peers, or is it more of a master-student situation? Are the dragons okay with you calling on them as friends any time? Or are they your deity, and receive offerings from you?

These are answers you have to figure out as you build your bond with your dragons and communicate with them. Sometimes, they will have more say in what you do than you expect and be very particular about what you include. It may be things like "use this tool", "use this herb", or can even be things like following rules they give you, within reason. This includes whether or not some sort of oath or initiation is even necessary. Other times, the dragons you work with may not care about any of these things and will work with you as long as you respect them, leaving the precise methods to you and what you're comfortable with. This even includes elements: while the most common elemental model tends to be earth/air/fire/water(/spirit), this may not be the one you end up working with.

It's also good to remember that dragons are incredibly varied, just like people. Dragons can be deceptive, they can lie or tell half-truths or lie by omission, they can mean you harm and be malicious jerks, but like the people you meet every day, these are going to be the minority. I don't point this out to scare anyone off, but because a lot of information out there will try to tell you that all dragons ever only work for the highest good, and even the non-New Age sector will often tell you that dragons operate on a code of honor. This is not an absolute truth. Therefore, it is not necessary for your path to have a set of rules governing your behavior. You don't have to never lie again or the dragons will call you a sinner and abandon you. This is also why common sense, discernment, and knowing how to protect yourself is important. That said, drama with dragons is fairly uncommon, at least in my experience.

Okay, but how do I build my practice?

Decide how much structure you actually want in your practice. Do you want more ritual trappings, or are you wanting something a little more 'low-spoon' friendly and casual? Are there days that you feel should be recognized as sacred on your path? Is every day sacred and magical? Having certain days of note can help you to refocus on your path throughout the year, and it doesn't have to be the Wiccan sabbats; I know at least a handful of practitioners even observe Dragon Appreciation Day (January 16th, celebrates dragons in literature and art), or World Dragon Day (an inconsistent date in October, and established largely by 'lightworkers').

In short, reflect on everything that draws you to this path, everything that makes you feel closer to dragons, to your own power, and use what inspires you as your building blocks. It's okay to incorporate things that may be seen by others as 'cringey', because this is for you, and is all private unless you choose to share with others. As well, this is merely the beginning steps and nothing final; like anything else in life, your path will grow with you and be refined as you learn more. This might seem like a lot of footwork and effort, especially if you're coming to this bright-eyed and exuberant, but anything worth doing takes some level of personal investment.

Can… can I give my path a cool name?

Absolutely. You can also not call your path anything. Unless you're planning on sharing your UPG and whatever structure you decide to make, it's really not necessary. There are so many "draconic paths" and groups already floating around out there that it can be nice to differentiate. Because of the nature of UPG and how much of it makes up modern dragon magick, there really isn't "one true draconic path".

The TL;DR Bullet List of Things to Consider

Why? What are your goals with this path?

How do you want to connect and work with dragons?

What do you want to incorporate? What inspires you about this path?

Take notes and do your homework.

Meeting a Dragon (Guide, Guardian, or Otherwise)

Disclaimer: the information I give is a mish-mash of personal experience, research, experience in study groups and other people's accounts. I don't claim to know the absolute truth. I'm just here to help!

Preparations

Just like any other type of spirit work you do, to connect with the right type of spiritual being you'll need to be in the right mindset. The more powerful and high frequency the spirit is at, the harder it can be to attune to their vibration.

For connecting with dragons I reccomend you do some heavy work on cleansing the environment and yourself, as well as make sure you have strong protections (how to do that is a matter for another post). Offerings prior to any ritual are also a great idea.

And after all the cleansing you will need to keep your negative thoughts and emotions in check as to not energetically upset the balance you have achieved. Of course, it's impossible to never experience these, so when you do it will be good to remind yourself to keep calm and return to a state of peace.

Something to Ponder

You may wonder - do I even have a dragon guardian? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, if you want to connect with any dragon willing to help you out you will need to do some introspection and evaluate things such as:

If I meet a dragon, what will I do with that information? What is my purpose? What is my goal with all of this?

Knowledge for the sake of knowing it is useless. You are far more likely to get a response from any spiritual being if you intend to do something with the information you're asking for, otherwise you're just wasting their time and energy to entertain a selfish curiosity.

Setting the Mood

After you have aligned your goals, energy, environment and mindset it's time to actually try to get in touch.

Do keep in mind that how successful you are can vary a lot depending on how keen you are to sensing energies, experience, whether the technique works for you and whether the dragon actually thinks if you're ready to meet them or not.

I recommend you try to "set the mood". You definitely DON'T need to do all of these or get a lot of supplies, but if you think you can get your hands on these things they may help you connect more easily:

Turn on music that you think matches the draconic energy you are looking for.

Gather elements of nature such as rocks, plants, branches and crystals that you feel are right for what you are doing. Remember to always ask for permission when taking anything from nature and make sure it's legal!

Gather the four elements. Light a candle, an incense, get a glass of water... for earth you can use crystals but I personally like having living plants.

You can turn off the lights to help your mind slow down. You can focus on the candle, or close your eyes so that you can pay more attention on what you feel rather than what you see.

Dress for the occasion. No particular outfit needed, just try to make it feel special.

You can gather and use any personal tools you have, like a wand, athame, or sacred necklace.

It is preferable to have a protective token with you, if you have any. If you don’t a protection circle will do!

Please remember you can connect with spirits without any of these, and you can have all of these and still feel nothing. These are things that usually HELP, but it's YOU who makes it happen.

Techniques

#1 Divination

When I met my dragon guide it was through a tarot reading. I didn't even have my own cards, I used a website to draw my cards and after I did I felt the need to close my eyes and just "feel it". I was not yet ready to work with this dragon (damn, it took me almost a decade), and even though I doubted it when the time came it turned out my odd attempt at tarot reading was actually VERY accurate.

I did not use a specific spread as far as I remember. I was never a spread type of reader. I just pulled the cards with the intention of figuring out the energy of the dragon and the meaning revealed itself with each card drawn, as well as their collective energy.

Some ideas of what to look for in your divination session are:

Is there a particular element, symbol or environment this dragon is associated with?

What can they teach me?

What should I do to connect and work with them?

Do they think I am ready? If not, what should I do?

What are they like? Big and bulky, or slender and gracious? Do they have limbs? How many? What colors do they like most?

What do they expect from how? How are you supposed to behave around them?

These answers may come to you in the cards (literally) or through your intuition (subjectively). Both are valid, don't restrict yourself just to what you see.

Remember no two readers read the same way. If you are already into divination, work with whatever you have the most affinity with. If you like tarot spreads or boards, that's awesome! If you're more of a intuitive reader don't be afraid of trusting yourself either. As long as you are prepared, you're good to go.

If you're not a reader and would instead like to get someone else to do the divination for you, make sure you are familiar with the reader. What do they usually read? What is their moral compass like? How do your guts feel about them? And even after the reading, it's important you trust what your own intuition says about it all.

#2 Meditation

Meditation means different things for different people.

For some it can be a state of relaxation and observing ones thoughts and feelings. Feeling energy. If this is the route you want to take, before you start the meditation you can invite the dragon to come and let you feel their energy.

You can also kind of turn this into a prayer/conversation kind of thing by talking to them either verbally, or through sharing with them your thoughts and/or feelings. I really like doing it this way because it feels very personal and emotions can get very strong. However, it is basically impossible to do if you are struggling with negative feelings or feeling very anxious. Unfortunately if you're not at balance and you can't bring yourself back to a relaxed state feeling them is going to be really hard.

The other way to do meditation is through guided meditation. With this technique you will have someone else being your guide and taking your mind on a journey. This is very beginner friendly and something I enjoyed a lot when I was first getting into meditation.

You don't have to restrict yourself to everything your guide says. They are there mostly to help you stay in the right mindset and remind you of what you're doing, plus facilitating your connection.

There are a few dragon-specific meditations online. Unfortunately there aren't many, but if the ones there are don't work for you you can either improvise with a more general guided meditation or use ones aimed at spirit guides and deities.

#3 Prayer

I'm using the word prayer to describe "establishing some sort of dialogue with a spiritual entity". If you'd like you can write your own prayer and treat it more as a sort of reverence to the dragons, this can definitely deepen your connection.

But prayer can be as simple as sitting in silence, in a peaceful mindset, and talking to your dragon guide. I would avoid unimportant mundane matters... It is best to have a dialogue that can actually help you connect with the dragon. Telling them your goals, your thoughts, asking about them... then just pay attention to how your body feels, and what thoughts come up. You may wish to avoid talking about problems right away if your focus is to get to know them.

This sort of direct-ish communication doesn't necessarily require anything fancy. If you are able to tune in, you can do it anywhere. But as I mentioned before, certain tools can help you with that, and it's always a good idea to make sure you are protected.

#4 Ask for signs

Be specific about it and ideally set a time period for it to show up. If you ask for a sign that is too easy to come up and easily explainable by physical causes then anything can feel like a sign and lead you into delusion. If it's too complex it can take a long time to manifest in the physical world.

Also keep in mind a sign can come in a more subjective way. For example, if you ask for a rainbow apple to confirm a sign from your dragon perhaps you'll not get a literal rainbow colored apple, but instead a crazy music video with psychedelic rainbow aesthetic and random apples (as well as other objects) thrown around. Yeah this has happened to me - but regarding Loki.

Overall I'm very very careful with signs and I'd rather try the other methods a few times before asking for this one because it's way too easy for your mind to get in your way (either making you doubtful or leading you into finding your signs) or you asking for things that are too out of this world. For the average person asking for signs is not healthy or trustworthy. Plus, it rarely gives you any further insight into the dragon.

Conclusion

After you're done make sure to thank the dragons for their time and energy however you like. It is a great time to give them an offering if you haven't already.

If you did not feel anything, keep trying. Keep this off your mind for a few days then try again, or try the next few weeks once per week. If you are still unsuccessful you can ask the dragons why they are not showing up, or what is blocking you from feeling them.

If you felt something but still couldn't figure out much about the dragon, be patient. There could be a number of reasons why. You may ask them for clarification!

In any case, the keyword is Patience. It can take years for you to be truly ready to work with them. Sometimes they are willing to work with you, but even when you think you are ready, you end up backing away... and that's okay. They are rarely in a hurry, and neither should you.

Thank you for reading!
