What is the spiritual meaning of the dragon?
The Celtic symbol of the dragon is magical, one of transformation and eternal wisdom. The druids respected dragons as forces of nature, the guardians of mother earth and all things sacred, the protectors of nature and all living things. The dragon holds the powerful Celtic symbol of protection and power. These magical beings represented all that the universe has to offer. There is dragon energy to cover all four elements, all four directions, however dragons are impartial, they bring potential, opportunity and new ideas to any situation.
The Celts knew of the magic of the lands in Britain. What we know as ley lines were known to Celts as Dragon Paths. Earth energies are laser like lines that cover our planet known as ley lines. These lines are pre-historic in origin and are marked by standing stones, stone circles, long barrows and burial chambers. There are also powerful energy centres underground known as geospirals. These spirals are also known as blind springs, water that does not come to the surface. It is known that all standing stones are built on geospirals. In ancient times they were not marked as a source of water but of a sacred space. Druids believed these sacred dragons dwelled in caves, sacred springs, lakes, and mountains.
