I feel as though I have known dragons most of my life. I grew up with the terrible stories of how dragons were hunted and slaughtered because they were maligned with stories of being these terrible and dangerous creatures. Those stories were spread by those who wanted the world of the dragon to be erased from the true history of the creation of the universe and the role that dragons played in that and also in how dragons affected history throughout the early times. But those who took power wanted to wipe the dragns from the face of the earth. They were not successful. Hiding was a good alternative to the extinction of the species in all its forms. Only special people can see dragons. The person who wrote this blog knows of their existence quite well. October is now the month of the Dragon. What is in store for the celebration you will find that out by going to the blog site from which I reblogged this post and there will be ones to follow. http://mackenziesdragonsnest.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/the-world-association-for-dragons-everywhere-presents-the-2nd-annual-month-of-the-dragon/ follow it back and continue throughout the month of October to enjoy the festivities and the learning about dragons.
