The
Great Dragons of the four Elements can be described in similar ways to
any
other force
that represents the Elements. They are wise, powerful and very cunning,
much like Elemental Lords, Arch-Angels, Watchtowers, etc. Within a ritual
context They function much the same way as well, either They come to protect
your rite or to enhance its power. The power of Earth is the dominion of
Grael (gray-el), Fire is Fafnir (faf-near), Water is Naelon (nay-lonn),
and Air is Sairyss (say-reese). Below is my personal circle casting ritual
as well as some images I think bear a fair likeness to the Powers I sense
when I work with the Great Dragons.
Grael: Great Dragon of Earth
Sairyss: Great Dragon of Air
Fafnir: Great Dragon of Fire
Naelon: Great Dragon of Water
