While digging through some old paper work I came across this path working the strange thing about this pathworking is many year later I found my dragon ring the first time I saw it, it was to small to put on but the next time I saw it, it was a perfect fit.
Start by sitting or lying in a comfortable position and take three deep breaths.
Close your eyes and focus on your breath.
Feel yourself standing in the darkness behind your eyes. While in this place you can sense that there is something just in front of you.
As your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness you begin to see a shape beginning to come in to focus.
As you look you can see it is a pillar about chest height with a book on top as it comes in to full focus, the pillar starts to vibrate with a warm golden light illuminating the space around you and beckoning you towards the pillar.
You step closer so you can see the cover of the book – as you stare at the cover the letter A begins to form followed by a N and then Á with in a second the word Anáil appears followed by nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta. (Pronounced anal nathrak, uthvas bethud, do che-ol di-enve).
You say the words out loud Anáil nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta and the book opens and you read the words on the first page.
Once upon a time…
You turn the page, which reveals a picture of a beautiful landscape with a bright path leading into a wood area.
As you stare at this picture you begin to notice more and more.
The birds flying in the sky.
The small flowers in the grass.
The standing stones in the far distance.
The small creatures moving between the trees.
The grass under your feet and the smell of a campfire.
You realise that you are now inside the picture, you turn around and see a large doorway which leads back to the darkness behind your eyes.
Someone calls your name from the woods and you see something, which draws you to the path and the woods.
You walk along the path and into the wood.
The air becomes cooler and the smell of the campfire becomes stronger.
You sense something is behind you but your not afraid. You try to catch a glimpse of it but it’s to fast.
You continue walking until you come to a clearing with a very large rock, which has a small hole with what looks like the remains of a campfire.
You take a seat near the rock and as you sit on the ground you hear a sound, which is like a huge creature slowly breathing a soft rhythmic sound.
Not moving you try to work out from what direction the sound is coming from. The more you focus on the sound the more rhythmic and musical it becomes. It reminds you of a long forgotten song one that you can just put the words to.
Then suddenly it hit you and you sing out.
Anáil nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta.
The ground shakes to the sound of your voice.
Anáil nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta
The large rock moves and shakes transforming at the words – Anáil nathrach,orth bhais betha,do cheol déanta
You can see the rock changing it shape into 30 foot stone grey dragon with large wings.
He turns his heads to look at you smiles and says, “old magicks from one so young”.
His breath filling the air with the smell of burning wood and sulphur.
“As requested – Breath of dragon” he says he laughs realising you are not comfortable with the smell.
“I know who has guided you here” he says in his eyes you see the room and your guide reading this script. He blinks and the image vanishes.
Do you understand the words you have spoken in this place?
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
He smiles as if to pity you.
“All magicks can cure or kill and does!
Some places exist only inside the magicks!
The right words in the right place can create, in the wrong place destroy!
Do you know what you have done? he says
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
“You have created one more of my kind, a new dragon”
“Can you be nurturing?
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
“Can you be loving?”
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
“Can you be responsible?”
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
“Place your hand on your heart and look for the name when you have found it call your dragon”
As you say the name out loud a wet nose stick in your ear and a small winged dragon climes down your arm and sits your hand.
There is a true spiritual connection between you and the dragon.
As you focus on the dragon he / she seems to melt into your hand and turns into a ring on your power finger.
A strange dragon shaped ring.
Your wonder in the ring is broken by the large dragon words.
“This little dragon is now part of you he /she will protect you and guard you in all realms, but you must return here once a month for him / her to learn and be trained as must you in the skills and magicks of the dragon.
Don’t worry I will call you in your dreams and summon you to this place. Do you agree to this?”
ANSWER HIM HONESTLY
The dragon smiles and begins to transfer back into a rock.
You look at the ring and a voice deep inside you says it’s time to take me home.
You walk back down the path through the woods back to the open door.
As you step through the door you turn around to look back but all that is there is the book and the picture. You turn the next page but its blank but soon the words You are the author of this book each time you journey to the stone dragon a page of magick will be written from your knowledge. The word vanishes and you close the book, and find yourself standing behind your eyes in the darkness you focus on your breath and slowly open your eyes and return back to yourself.
