I have a deep respect and love for dragons, and a belief in their powers.

So, how does one go about finding DragonZ? 
And how do you use their power? 
Should you do co-magick with DragonZ,
or should you avoid the partnership?

Every witch, indeed every person who even uses prayer, constantly walks the fine line between an overinflated ego and an appreciation of his/her self-worth.  They understand without any cover-ups, exactly why they are choosing to work magick at any given time.
This understanding is vitally necessary in order to assess the end-result of the spellworking, the type of magick used, and the consequences that may be forthcoming for certan actions.
 
In Dragon Magick, the witch cannot afford any lingering doubts as to her right to ask help from these powerful entities. 
Like many other beings, physical and nonphysical,
Dragons will take advantage of anyone who vacillates in her commitment or who is unclear about her intent of a ritual.

Does this mean that unless you are perfect in all levels of your being that you cannot attract, contact, and learn from Dragons?
Of course not!!
But, if you desire a continuous companionship with Dragons,
you must strive to better yourself,
balance the ebbs and tides of energies within you,
and make this effort an on-going project. 

So, how does one go about finding Dragons?
You begin by learning as much about Dragons and their magickal habits as possible. 
Then you look at your reasons for wishing to practice
Dragon Magick with an objective and critical eye. 
When you feel comfortable with these steps,
then, and only then,
you begin building an atmosphere that will attract Dragons. 
You perform certain actions that arouse their curiosity,
and will draw them to your vicinity.
You beam a mental welcome,
setting aside time and place to communicate with them
on the astral level through mental visualization
and speech.

AND YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THEY EXIST
even if you cannot see them with your physical eyes or prove their existence to someone else.
You have to cast aside social taboos on "seeing" things and know
with your heart that Dragons do exist,
if you wish to attract Dragons.

Mentally invite the Dragons to make their presence known
by thought or deed.
Be sensitive and extra aware of what is occurring around you.
Most Dragons tend to be subtle in their first contacts with humans.
They may choose to make an appearance in dreams
or as flashes of movement seen in the peripheral vision.
They may even forgo these types of appearance to simply touch
your psychic "feelings."

Dragons may show up unannounced at any time, but especially during meditation or magickal rituals, either singly or several at a time.  They love the power flow of ritual and will make an appearance just to bathe in the energy.  They may well have been there all the time; you just did not notice them.  Since Dragons are masters at concealment this is not suprising.

You have to be willing to practice a great deal of patience, self control, and self-discipline, learning to work within a specific set of magickal laws in order to consistently attract and elicit the help of Dragons.

Casting aside the magickal laws for working with Dragon power is certain to get you into trouble.  Even the most positive Dragon is a wily beast who, like many humans, tends to look out for him/herself first. Dragons likely developed this attitude after trying to work with humans thousands of years ago and finding that puny mortals were unreliable, often treacherous, allies.

Your attitude toward the existence of Dragons must be the first big step in preparation for meeting them.  The power of Dragons is a tremendous force, amplifying a witch's ability to new heights.

Why bother cultivating the cooperation and companionship of Dragons?  Because their wisdom and elemental type energies
are unequaled, boundless. 
They have access, by means of their extremely long lives
and unique thought processes,
to forgotten information and knowledge,
especially in the field of magick. 
Dragon power also helps the witch to make personal,
inner changes that may be necessary. 
Helping to remove past negative programming or self destructive habits
is well within the abilities of Dragons;
of course, the witch involved must desire those changes. 
Dragon magick, like all magick, does not produce miraculous results without work.

Dragons can create opportunities,
provide encouragement and guidance, and even back the witch into a figurative corner so that she must face problems and make decisions.
But they will
never, never..do for you what you can and should do for yourself. 
Once befriended, Dragons make excellent protectors!

Dragon magick is not for all. 
Dragon magick is only for the self-disciplined seeker who realizes the potential dangers,
yet dares to communicate with and befriend
this vast astral power of the ages. 
It is for the witch who is serious about changing her life and the living space around her. 
It is an asset for those who can give trust, not blindly,
but with common sense, love and a desire for true friendship!   

If you use Dragon magick for unjustified purposes, or try to manipulate and control Dragons, you can expect a terrific negative backlash.
One simply does not do that with friends.
Common sense tells you that such behavior will terminate the friendship and cause them to cease their cooperation,
perhaps even to work against you. 
If you prove a danger to Dragons, they are likely to enspell you to such a point that your magick does not work.

What if you have attracted a dragon who makes you feel uncomfortable?
It is very likely that you are not ready yet to work with its energies.  First, become clear in your own mind why you feel this discomfort.  Perhaps the actual root of the discomfort is a bit of programming struggling to make itself felt and keep control over your activities.

Perhaps the Dragon's coloring has triggered old conditionings. 
A black Dragon produces this feeling in people
who have been taught that Dragons,
and particularly black Dragons, are evil. 
The further into the subconscious you dig,
the more you are amazed at what is in there,
controlling your thoughts and actions when you least expect it.

If you still feel uncomfortable, set aside a time for a brief meditation and mental conversation with the Dragon. 
Explain carefully and politely that you are attempting to remedy the situation, but at this time you just do not feel
that the two of you can work positively together. 
Project as much good will as you can. 
The Dragon will understand.

Like the old mapmakers who wrote
"Here be Dragons"
on the unknown edges of their maps,
I wish you a safe journey into Dragon country.

Go prepared for a fantastic voyage on
which you can make new friends and magick-working partners,
and you will be pleasantly surprised at the knowledge you will learn.

Dance with the Dragons in their endless round of energy,
and feel all areas of your lift lifted into new, powerful realms.
Go prepared to wrest what you want from the astral plane,
and you may well
(and very likely
will)
have an unprofitable journey
filled with unpleasant experiences. 
Would be conquering invaders have never been met with friendship, whatever plane of existence they were on.
Exploring traders who were willing to listen
and bargain a bit always had the most successful,
profitable voyages of discovery.

Travel into Dragon country with
caution,
an open mind,
and friendship in your heart.

The journey will be well worth it.
