🐉
This dragon has origins in the Welsh red dragon
but comes from a land without boundaries.
This dragon is a guardian of the natural world.
Connected to all of the elements,
with a circling tail like a tree rooted to the earth,
wings shared with the crane to fly in air,
shouldering the sun with spiralling rays that transform into breath of fire
and legs of water to balance the flames and recall more fluid origins.
🐉
Born on the eve of St Brigid’s day in 2020,
while the fires burned in Australia,
it felt at the time that there was too much fire in the world.
St Brigid is the patron saint of blacksmiths.
🐉
Formed in the depths of winter, it is an early act of preparation for our summertime Celtic Roots Festival community gathering.
We did not know then that this dragon would lead us through a year where we could not come together.
🐉
This dragon is containing the chaos of these times,
burning away what we no longer need,
holding the space
and offering us time to reimagine our world,
until we meet again.
