They say: Every civilization of our planet has conceived its own idea of the dragon, each in a different way. For the Chinese, Japanese, and other populations of the Far East, dragons are the energies that flow in the earth's viscera, in pebbly riverbanks, in the sky's air currents.

For Westerners they represent an ancient energy at the heart of creation and in patriarchal societies came to represent Darkness (the matriarchal principle) - the antagonist of Light.

We have dragons in Babylon and Egypt representing ctonic subterranean energies and, descending into black Africa, we have representations of large lizards that embody the great force of nature. In the Americas, Quetzalcoaltl, the god of light and civilization, is the adversary of darkness but, at the same time, is also representative of the first white people seen by the red-skinned populations... the serpent with feathers was the man with the beard.

I find this deck intriguing in many respects.
The images are of a certain naďve charm and often manage to create a sense of stepping through boundaries into a space of timelessness and romanticism.
These cards could be read by anyone,however most certainly some knowledge towards Raider Waite would be an advantage for often the cards appear to be divorced from conventional imagery and seem to stand alone almost without direction. Some cards in particular seem to find meaning distanced from illustration.
The Little White Book serves to redress balance to a degree though most of the explanations are rudimentary. I prefer to read the cards as they stand rather than find reference therefore some background knowledge allows the reading basis and the cards begin to speak properly.
My feelings do not lie overmuch towards Dragon Lore tradition or principal however once these precepts are allowed I am confident that the cards will begin to speak for themselves and make their presence known.
The dragons generally are used illustratively as adornment and the setting within the card acts as key to point towards the meaning.
The illustrations are certainly of interest and some in particular feel very special to me. There are energies drawn from various cultures and histories all of which manage to give a feeling of colour breadth and width to the deck.
So this is a very attractively illustrated themed deck which would be best read by someone with general experience…
Many have a passion towards dragons and will surely find this deck extremely welcome. This deck therefore will not appeal to all but undoubtedly will find very many devotees.
