Dragons...

I have met many on my path. They come in all memories of shapes and sizes. SOme believe that they have come from another world, some believe that they have always been connected here to this earth. Most belive in the Timeless, but do not mind referring to that as God or Goddess depending upon where they are and who they are around. They do not submit to anything but that power, yet many will ask help of those who have ascended...the Ancients who have decided not to come back to this mortal place.
Most dragons are very open minded even if they are not awakened. They do not discourage learning about another's ideas, even if they are raised Southern Baptist. They always question things. This is natural for learning. They have wonderful "bullshit meters" in that they can feel others like them and they usually still have left over empathic ability from their lifetime as a dragon. Some have other powers (for lack of a better word). Most will tell you exactly what they think, but some have learned not to open their mouths because they lose friends this way. They have a knack for seeing things on a different level than most mortals, accepting what they observe and offering this in the form of advice or warning to those they care about.
When a dragon is betrayed, she does not forget it. Forgiveness may never be found in this....no matter what he or she says. It rests within and must be released now and again. Dragons who are become human do not need rituals to perform their magick. They may do so simply because they follow a certain path (wiccan, druidic, shamanic, etc...) but they do not need too. They are still partially magickal themselves and so the art comes easy to them.
Dragons care about the natural world and actually can feel the world around them. Finding an injured animal evokes a harsher set of emotions from a dragon, even if he or she readily eats steak that night. They are hunters, capable even in their human form of becoming that instinctual creature. Instincts also kick in when it comes to the sensual being. They are relatively open in their sexuality. They will commit themselves to a lifetime with one mate, but that is not all that they are capable of. Although the two are linked, they see love as being on several levels and a distance above physical acts of pleasure.
They are unashamed of themselves in this nature and usually feel overwhelmed in a society where openmindedness and natural instinct are forced inward and thought of as evil.
They are protectors- giving of themselves even if they suffer in that. They are teachers, providing advice and showing others no matter the species the ways of others and the art of understanding and listening and continuing the path before them without dragging their feet upon another's path.

A hedonist kinda thing, then? I think Ellsantyr's post was good.. but itseems to me it might bracket not all of Dragonkind. As for the yiff thing,that's an instinct of our bodies, isn't it? The body is matter and thelowest and basest form of ourselves.. its urges really have nothing to dowith the mind or the spirit, although they can influence them strongly andcertainly occur on parallels. I don't think, from what I have seen, anyway,that Dragons are confined to a physical form (except when they choose to be)so it is their choice to experience those kinds of base urges. Some Dragonsmay be higher-evolved, more spiritual kinds, more connected to the highervibrations of the universe, and some may be more interested in experiencingmass and how things work down here. Maybe that's why some of us ARE here,to experience that without knowing anything else. And maybe some others,whether regular humans or have-been-something-else's, have not yet evolvedto the point where they realize just what kind of a level those base urgesare on and that there ARE levels beyond that which are far more important.Especially because of what you said in their age bracket. I don't know whatthey are, but their choices and their path of learning is their own, I wouldguess.

Just think... it's possible to be a dragon and "politically correct" at the same time

Meaning, even if they re not aware that they are dragons?

So if a dragon recalls being betrayed by humans, would it be natural for him/her to be intrinsicallydistrustful of human beings... perhaps even to the extent of being accused of so-called "human bashing?"

Very well said!

Just curious -- are there any societies in the here and now that do not invoke such feelings?
| Quote: | | They are protectors- giving of themselves even if they suffer in that.

The ultimate satisfaction if the teacher succeeds...the ultimate frustration otherwise!

A wonderful springboard for discussion, I must say...thank you!
