The Draconic Code

My Companions are Sea, Land and Sky.
My Shield is Reverence for Life.
My Armour is Tranquillity, and Insight.
My Weapons are Fortitude, and Awareness.

Deconstruction of the Draconic Code:

The Draconic Code is offered to the practitioners of Dragon Magick as a workable code of ethics.

Line One: My Companions are Sea, Land and Sky
Here Sea Land and Sky are in reference to the three dragons that symbolise the past, the present and the future. By making these dragons/realms your Companions, you are ascertaining that you are existing in the moment.

Line Two: My Shield is Reverence for Life
A shield is always our first line of defence. By constructing our shield with Reverence for Life, we are aligning ourselves with our ancient ancestors who understood the value, and sacredness of the food they consumed. We ackwnowledge the worth of each living being, be it plant, animal or human. All are connected and apart of each other.

Line Three: My Armour is Tranquillity, and Insight
Our Armour is the attitude that we clothe ourselves in. By choosing to clothe ourselves in Tranquillity, and Insight, we are seeking to project an attitude of calmness while looking below the surface before formulating opinions. Seek to see behind the masks that others choose to wear, and then ascertain a course that will lead to the greatest benefit for all.

Line Four: My Weapons are Fortitude, and Awareness.
Weapons are tools which should be used as the last line of defence. By selecting Fortitude, and Awareness as our weapons, we are proclaimin that obstacles will not stop us. Obstacles are only stepping stones on the way to our goals. Awareness is a combination of sensibility, perception, alertness and discretion. By always remaining aware of your surroundings, actions, and attitude you can maintain a greater balance, and move forward towards your goals with honour.

The Hedge

Long ago a Hedge was the border between the cultivated lands and the wild untamed forest.

My view of a Hedge in the context that I use it is the border between the mundane world of logic and science, and the otherworld of magick where the fae and dragons still dwell. On a good day you might even see one of the Old Gods or Goddesses walking about.

Walking the Hedge is the ability to step from the mundane to the otherworld, and then back again. 

Random Notes

For some time now the vibration of the earth has been changing. We stand at transitional point in time/space. This can be seen all around us in the social/political changes taking place in the world. Dragon are a subconscious interpretation of the transformation taking place. They give form to something that our minds have no other reference for.

...To help you wrap your mind around this... The Dragons of Sea Land & Sky, are realm dragons. Where the meditations in my book "Sea, Land, Sky: A Dragon Magick Grimoire" are designed to connect you with them, it is like the tip of an iceberg. They are not the type of dragon you would want living in your back yard 24/7. The Quarter Dragons, while not on the scale of the Realm Dragons, are still not beings you would ask to hang around for longer than you need for your circle workings. They tend to warp the time/space vibration. Yet that is why we call upon them to aid in the creation of sacred space. ... Jump now to the bottom of the scale, you have personal or guarding dragons, beings who dwell just outside of our reality. They have unique personalities and are very useful in communicating with the greater dragons.

So it begins...

My Trad's Crone's mate recently, after the third bottle of wine, suggested I start a blog that with luck would help me in collecting my thoughts. Thoughts that at times seem to be going in two different directions.

While the title of the blog is "Dragon in the Hedge" I will be exploring other things besides Dragons.
