Dragons and Serpents

• Explains how dragons and serpents are bearers of the elemental and archetypal energies of the Earth

• Examines myths, legends, and symbols of dragons and serpents in many cultures, including their positive associations in Asia and their often misinterpreted negative meanings in Christianity

• Reveals the geomantic meaning of dragon energy and how to reconnect to it for supporting the Earth in these times of change

Revealing how dragons and serpents are deeply embedded in the story of humankind and the Earth itself, the author takes us on a journey through their myths, legends, and symbolism in different ages and cultures around the world.

Stefan Broennle explains how the dragon is an archetype of the elemental force of the Earth, white the serpent, which can change its skin and regenerate, carries the elemental force of rebirth and is also connected to the Earth through its relationship with the feminine.

Examining traditions and beliefs originating in Europe and Asia, he explores the spiritual meaning of dragons and serpents and how they reflect the development of our connection to the Earth. He recounts tales of famous examples, including Fáfnir, the Hydra, and Nidhogg. He also examines the meaning of the dragon in geomantic symbolism and the location of soul paths, dragon paths, and ley lines. A powerful exercise enables us to awaken the dragon energies within us and connect more deeply to the Earth.

This book is much more than a mythological or geomantic compendium, however. lt offers access to the archetypal energies of dragons and serpents that are crucial not only for our individual growth and transformation but also for the fate of humanity and the Earth during this present time of change.
