A
definite conversation piece!
The
dragon is probably the most universal of all mythical creatures. It is
most frequently described as a great flying reptile, a ferocious and
untamed (but not evil) beast which embodies in many cultures the
elemental forces of chaos and cosmic order.
Dwelling in the dark caverns of the earth, with lungs of fire, wings of
a bird and scales of a fish, the dragon epitomizes the four elements of
the ancient world, unifying them into a single presence that can
inspire the imagination and haunt our dreams. The dragon carries
opposite meanings representing the paradox at the heart of our being -
the mutual dependence of light and dark, creation and destruction, male
and female. But more than any other symbol, the dragon also embodies
the unifying force underlying these opposites. In itself it is neither
good or bad, but symbolizes the primal energy upholding the material
world, which can be turned to either good or evil purposes.
