Dragons and Serpents - Stefan Broennle
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.
