Andromendans UFO? |
Dragon’s features incorporate a mix of animals due to use of the image through history by various warring tribes. And thus colors, numbers of toes and particular animal attributes came to have various symbolic meanings in some cultures. Primarily dragon images are comprised of a snake and a bird, and according to various legends and some religions, winged or feathered reptiles primarily live on mountains, in trees, in water and underground as inner-terrestrials. Dragon mythology may precede recorded history and schools of thought regarding the dragon are in opposition.
On one hand there are the divine and benevolent flying serpent gods such as the bird serpent Quetzalcoatl of the Aztecs, Ouroboros and earthquake creating ocean dwelling rainbow serpent Aido-Hwedo of Africa, and China’s chimu adorned Long or Lung dragons that are the yin to the yang of the phoenix Feng. The Bulgarian tree-dwelling flying fire snake Chuvash is associated with fertility, the Vedic Vrtra is the reptilian guardian of water, and the Persian dragon snake Aqyilan is the equivalent of the Chinese Long dragon. These supernatural creatures are commonly associated with learning, knowledge, good vision, fertility and the elements of fire, earth, wind and water.
On the other hand there are the malevolent dragons that are oftentimes killed by heroes such as the Hydra slain by Hercules and the Norsemen’s Fanfire and Jormungand, another Ouroboros. The Russian winged snake Zilant, the always evil Iranian Azi and the serpent that tangles with the phoenix Simorgh in Islamic lore are all likewise fearsome. And so are the "western" dragons that horde knowledge and treasure in caves.
Our ancient ancestors either adored or reviled the dragon, and dragon myths span both time and Earth’s geography. Icke and Collier took the dragon into space and gave the existing religious belief, mythology, and legends an alien related new twist that aligns with the malevolent version of the scaly flying others. The new dragon was given a history, a hierarchy and an agenda that entails many human traits. The Draconians of the new lore are fierce warriors that enslave entire species and take over their planets. They are the ultimate imperialists wrecking havoc on a multi-dimensional scale and the new-age nemesis according to many.
But are all of the reptilians truly dangerous? Could it be that like humans who have various colors and cultures, reptilians come with variations in appearance and temperament? Perhaps our ancient ancestors actually did encounter lizard and snake like flyers of two opposing sorts. With our rather limited understanding of our own human nature, how can we say that we understand the nature of creatures with whom modern man is not fully acquainted? Perhaps we shouldn’t approach these beings with prejudice if and when we should encounter them. Besides I am quite benevolent and I might be a descendent if Collier’s ideas are correct, which would explain why I’ve become hyper-sensitive to reptile bashing.
