At times they join forces with the dragons of fire and volcanoes, seas and other waters, mountains and forests, and chaos.
Just as no one element works totally alone, whether in magickal endeavours or physicals activities, elemental dragons join
their great powers to accomplish tasks. Sometimes there is conflict of elemental powers, producing great atmospheric and environmental
disturbances, but mostly the elementals work in harmony.
Dragons of Wind, Storm, and Weather
Dragons of wind and storm and weather are long, slender dragons, some of them with great gauzy wings,
others with the Oriental "flying-lump" on their foreheads. Down the spine of the back flutter thin fringes of membrane tissue.
The tend to be pale yellows and pale blues, but change to angry red-orange, purple, or black when they call up storms. Long,
feathery antennae rise above their eye ridges.
They are excellent helpers to control excesses in the weather; getting things moving in your life,
especially in the areas of creativity and the mental processes; protection; flexibility of the mind; openness to new ideas;
sweeping away obstacles, most of ten in a dramatic fashion. Sometimes these dragons have feather-looking scales that surround
their eyes and necks. Such a dragon was the British Henham dragon, which was well documented in 1669. It was described as
being only about nine feet long with small wings and rather curious eyes surrounded by 'feathers'. The Henham dragon put in
repeated appearances before a number of observers for several years before it disappeared.
Dragon of fire: ruler is Fafnir, he oversees the dragons of fire and sundowns.

Its colour is pure red; it is considered warm and dry. The positive associations of
Fire are: noon, summer, the sun, blood, enthusiasm, activity, change, passion, courage, daring, will power, leadership. Negative
associations are: hate, jealousy, fear, anger, war, ego, conflicts, lightning. Subspecies of the Fire-element dragon family
are those of fire and volcanoes. The subspecies of desert and arid-region dragons, and those of chaos and destruction, often
work closely with draconic entities of this element. Dragons of Fire and VolcanoesFire dragons are all shades of reds, oranges,
and deep yellows. They have thick, heavy bodies and long snakelike necks and tails. Some of them sleep in dormant volcanoes
for long periods of time before they once again become activeThese dragons are also visible in forest fires and large structure
blazes. They are very unpredictable, unreliable, and difficult to work with. If not properly handled, and then only within
a cast and sealed circle, fire dragons will do as they please with a magician's spell. They will achieve the asked-for end
result, but may "burn" their way through everything to get there. Dragons of Fire and volcanoes help with personal purification
on all levels of being, energy, courage, stamina to pursue goals and finish projects, remove obstacles and barriers. Be very
certain you want their help in the barrier-removal, for these dragons will go through and over anything and anyone to achieve
the goal. The results can be swift and difficult to handle emotionally.
Dragons of sea and various waters
: ruler is Naelyan, who oversees the dragons of the seas, springs,
lakes, ponds and rivers. Color of the element is pure blue.
Dragons who dwell in the seas, lakes, rivers, ponds, and other bodies or water, whether large or small, are basically shaped
like Oriental Dragons. They are usually long and serpent-like, usually without legs or wings.
They are a variety of shades of blue, from silver-blue to dark blue-green. In fact, their shades cover all the hues of
the water in which they reside. All of them have a silvery hue to their scales with some shade of blue predominant on the
belly scales. They have feathery fringes about their mouths and down their backs. They have large horny eye sockets set in
a rather flat snakelike head. These dragons can be very large or very small, depending on their dwelling place. Dragons of
the seas and various waters help with emotions, either calming them or breaking through a barrier built around them; movement,
both to get events moving and to keep things fluid; calmness on all levels of being and in all circumstances; creating changes,
especially those brought about by breaking free of people who control us through our emotions.
Sightings of these creatures is so well documented that one can dismiss the sceptics' observations that people are only
seeing dolphins, squids, or other common water creatures. Sea dragons have been seen all around the world, but especially
off the coasts of Scandinavia, Denmark, the British Isles, and North America, as well as in various lochs, lakes, and rivers.
No other Draconic species have been so well documented as those of the various waters. Not only in stories and myths, but
official records of several governments
Dragon of the earth: ruler is Grael, who oversees the
dragons of mountains, land, minerals, gems and moonbeams. Color of the element is clear dark green.
Dragons of the forest, mountains, and desert: colors
are shades of green and brown, with upright rows of sharp scales down their necks and back. Dragons of the mountains and forest
lived close to humans at one time. They have heavy bodies, four legs, huge wings, a long neck and tail. Mountain dragons have
a heavier looking body then forest dragons. Forest dragons live in deep forests, groves and in solitary clusters of trees.
They like the changing pattern of sunlight through the trees. These dragons at one time lived in or around barrows or burial
mounds, especially if treasure was inside. Mountain dragons lived up high in rocky peaks or rugged outcroppings. Dragons of
the desert are serpentine in shape with long slender tails. Larger desert dragons often have huge wings. The small ones have
extremely small wings that are not good for flying. They have 2-4 legs which are very powerful and they can run very fast
over sand or desert. The short flights of smaller dragons are more like long hops or jumps than flying. They build their lairs
in rocky outcroppings or deep in areas of sand dunes, far away from humans. They like anything shiny, treasure, armor, swords,
gems, etc
Guardian dragons: come in various shapes, sizes
and colors. Usually quite small in size, but not always. Little guardians are colored in pastel or lighter shades with belly
scales of a myriad of hues. Dragons age very slowly, therefore the juvenile stage could last a hundred or more years. The
older adult dragons range in size from (tiger size to huge) and their scales are more pronounced and harder. Little guardian
dragons have softer scales and are supervised by one or more adult dragons for protection and safety. Guardian dragons will
help protect you and your property, if they are your friend. They are invisible, quiet and very playful, especially with the
household pets. They love children and follow them about with great interest.
Classification according to color
Black Dragon
Black dragons are usually found in swamps and jungles. Their dark colour helps them to camoflague themselves, and they
are excellent swimmers. These dragons are abusive and selfish, abandoning their young to save themselves. The primary diet
of black dragons consists of aquatic creatures. Compared to other dragons they are not as intelligent, and are about 30 to
100 feet long. Their breath weapon is acid.

Blue Dragon
Blue dragons live in deserts. They like the desert terrain as
they can easily see across their territory. They are very territorial. Brass dragons are the enemy of blue dragons, as they
compete for the same type of territories. These dragons prefer to eat herd animals. Their blue scales are polished by the
sand, so stay glossy all their life. Their breath weapon is a bolt of lightning. They are about 50 to 100 feet long.
Dragons of Chaos and Destruction
These dragons represent the negative power currents necessary to dissolve problems and sweep
away troublesome people. The are of very dark colours: black, grey, pewter, iron, dark magenta, purple, reds and greens so
dark they appear black. Their bodies are heavy and huge; in fact, they are the largest of all dragons. Their wide wedge-shaped
heads sit atop long necks. Their serpentine tails are either barbed or with a spiked knob on the ends. Enormous wings carry
them on swift flights.
When dragons of chaos and destruction make changes and help in rituals, they do everything in
a big way. They go past your limited view of happenings, straight to the heart of the problem, so be certain you can stand
their help before you call on them. These dragons work with re-creation of lives, relationships, and careers; breaking of
barriers; changing luck; vast changes in general; work on past lives; divination; the confining of enemies or anyone who will
hinder you forward growth or movement.
Although dragons in general were looked upon as bringing disaster, depending of course upon
their actions, chaos dragons are often quite literally omens of catastrophe. They can be seen in the area of disaster when
other dragons create such things as great storms, earthquakes, or floods, but their power lies in creating or precipitating
wars, bloodshed, plagues, and desolation when humans have gotten things out of balance. Unfortunately, it seems to take such
occurrences to make humans want to find a better way of doing things.
Although the dragons of chaos and destruction create upheavals and complete transformations
and rebirths, they are not evil. Their magick power is vital to the magician. They require as much forethought and caution
as when working with Fire dragons. But if your life and plans have become static, your luck stuck in a negative mode, or circumstances
or people are making you feel helpless and hopeless, then these dragons will turn the tide of events. Just be very sure that
you are prepared for the drastic changes that will come.
As with many kinds of dragons, the chaos dragons are connected with death and rebirth, in fact
more so than others of their species. Often, when riding the dragon in an attempt to destroy barriers and remove enemies,
one finds oneself face to face with oneself - the worst enemy of all. This ride can turn into a dramatic rebirth for the magician
if he is willing to accept what is being shown by the dragon. The element of water governs the western quarter of the circle.
Its ruler is Naelyan (Nail-yon), who oversees the dragons of the seas, springs, lakes, ponds, and rivers. Its colour is pure
blue and is cold and moist. Positive associations are: sunset, Autumn, compassion, peacefulness, forgiveness, love, intuition,
calmness, peace of mind. Negative associations are: floods, rainstorms, laziness, indifference, instability, lack of emotional
control and insecurity.
The subspecies of the element of water are those of seas and various waters. It is not unusual
to find this element working in conjunction with dragons of wind, storm, and weather, mountains and forests, or those of destruction
