It would be interesting to hear this topic discussed outside of the western dragon mythology. Despite being a mostly European-derived American, and being a fan of dragon-related media, I simply have never accepted this symbology; the old version of Disney's 'Pete's Dragon' had deeper significance in my childhood mind than every scary representation that seems to be the norm. To me, the western attitude has always felt like an iconified terror of one's natural intuitive power, and somehow a rejection/reversal of the process being discussed. Aside from this point of personal argument, I greatly enjoyed the discussion this clip was excerpted from.
In which way should it be discussed ? Asian dragon myth ? African dragon myth ? South american dragon myth ? I mean they all go back to the same snake related mythology...
Thank you for bringing House of the Dragon in to this conversation. The Game of Thrones universe created by George RR Martin is very heavy with symbolism. Such a rich and layered story that is in line with Jungian theory. And yes, "Doheiras!" means "serve" in high Valarien..
so interesting that this came out the day after Michaelmas -- the feast of St. Michael the Archangel slayer of the dragon. Michaelmas Poem from priest and poet Malcom Guite Michaelmas gales assail the waning year, And Michael’s scale is true, his blade is bright. He strips dead leaves; and leaves the living clear To flourish in the touch and reach of light. Archangel bring your balance, help me turn Upon this turning world with you and dance In the Great Dance. Draw near, help me discern, And trace the hidden grace in change and chance. Angel of fire, Love’s fierce radiance, Drive through the deep until the steep waves part, Undo the dragon’s sinuous influence And pierce the clotted darkness in my heart. Unchain the child you find there, break the spell And overthrow the tyrannies of Hell.
Read Michael Tsarion, “Dragon Mother”. Best psychology on Motherhood I have ever read.

This is the Jungian realm, though.

Michaelmas Poem from priest and poet Malcom Guite
Michaelmas gales assail the waning year,
And Michael’s scale is true, his blade is bright.
He strips dead leaves; and leaves the living clear
To flourish in the touch and reach of light.
Archangel bring your balance, help me turn
Upon this turning world with you and dance
In the Great Dance. Draw near, help me discern,
And trace the hidden grace in change and chance.
Angel of fire, Love’s fierce radiance,
Drive through the deep until the steep waves part,
Undo the dragon’s sinuous influence
And pierce the clotted darkness in my heart.
Unchain the child you find there, break the spell
And overthrow the tyrannies of Hell.
Needed this 🙏🏻♥️
Me too friend, good luck on your journey
Tame the dragon stupid dragon❤
