~The Three Main Principles of Draconian Magic & More~ by Vlada Mikahl Schoon

Five Elementary Draconian Principles
All is one.
Ouroboros or the dragon that bites its tail shows the eternal return and that the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning, in the small is the great and in the great is the small, the one is the all and in the all is the one. That which is above is like that which is below.

All is force.
The universe is force in different forms. Force is movement. The force reveals itself through the seven rays or levels of vibrations which represents the seven colours in the spectrum. The Dragon is the force and when the Dragon manifests itself with seven heads, they are representing the seven rays. The force is manifested through the elements: plasma (fire), in the form of gas (air), liquid (water) or matter (earth). In itself the force represents the fifth element (the ether, the quintessence). The symbol of the quintessence is the Dragon.

All is possible.
All boundaries and limitations are illusions. Only the visions and force of man creates limits. To follow one’s true will is the only law. Man can become a creator of himself.

All is floating.
Reality is constantly changing. Order is illusion. Through movement and action man achieves the life and force to create his life. Stagnation leads to ruin. To rest in the arms of the Dragon is to follow the stream of force.

Everything exists.
Nothing exists. Reality is a question of energy and perception. Nihilism is an expression that reveals lack of energy. Meaning exists if energy exists. Everything can be true and become true through a focusing of the right vision though the right force and right action to the right goal.

Esoteric Comments to the Three Basic Concepts of Draconian Magic
1. Vision: The word dragon comes from a Greek verb which means “to see”. The word can also mean “to flash”. Draconian magic is the magic of clear-seeing. Most people are living in a glass globe which is misted over by themselves. Through the mist they can only see the outlines of the world outside. The mist reflects the image of themselves and they are interpreting the world outside through their own reflection. They are caught in “a bubble of self-contemplation”.

Man receives information about the other side only after having filtered it through the self. When we are reaching intellectual knowledge it is filtered through a number of categories that are creating our understanding. The three main categories that we are understanding the world through are time, space and causality (cause and effect). The categories are creating our universe. The picture that we are receiving through the intellect and the categories is what we are calling cosmos, order and the side of light. The ideal state of perfect logical and intellectual understanding in the categoric system is what in mysticism and religion have been attributed to the world of the gods. The world outside the glass globe is what is called chaos and the unknown. It is “the dark side”.

It is also “the other side” or “the other” in relation to man who inside the glass globe is the starting point for his own understanding “the one”, “the only one” or “the first”. These are terms that usually are assigned to God. God or he gods are ideal images of oneself as one would like to see oneself and how one would like reality to be, in he mirror image. The other or the dark is the unknown outside. On this man are projecting fear for what is outside himself. The draconian path of clear seeing is by cleaning the globe from the mist so that the world outside is appearing clear and in its wholeness. The draconian path also makes transcendence outside the glass globe possible. The vision of the world outside is the drakon-principle :”to see”.

2. Force: The vision of the world/worlds brings knowledge. Knowledge is force. Every closed system (which the world inside the globe is) has a limited amount of energy. The energy and the ability of perception are connected. This is why the draconian paths (Kundalini yoga, Odinistic initiation, Typhonian alchemy etc) are focusing the inner energy to heightened perception to reach clear seeing, which will bring the possibility to get energy from the outside. This inner force is called “the inner dragon” and the outer force is called “the outer dragon”.

Everything is force and energy in different and on different levels of vibration. The world inside the globe is a stabilized system of energy in fixed form. The fixed energy is not accessible for man. Inside the fixed form is a core of pure free and moving force like the lava in the centre of the earth. This is the force that the magician is using and focusing to open a crack in the globe so that the world outside is accessible. In the world outside an infinite amount of force is now accessible for the magician. The magician uses the inner force to attain a vision of the outer force. This vision creates a charge of the inner force which increases the ability to see and access the outer force. It demands great force to see and to see gives great force.

3. Action: The third principle in the trinity of draconian magic is the necessary consequence and result of vision and force: action. Magic is the art and science to make actions, outer and inner that makes reality of a vision. If the vision seeking and heightened force of the magician is not used in concrete actions the magician will become burned out. Action is the necessary channel for the force that the magician is attaining through the vision of “the other side”. Action is the expression of magic. Through the force of the actions the magician can make his visions real.

Draconian Aphorisms
The Dragon is the winged serpent. The Dragon unites the serpent with the eagle, what is below with what is above.

The Dragon is the four elements. The wings are Air. The reptile body is Earth. The scales is Water and the burning breath is Fire. Thus the Dragon is the fifth element – the Spirit.

The Dragon is, in the form of Ouroboros, the serpent that bites its own tail. The Dragon is the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning.

The Dragon is beyond good and evil, night and day, female and male, plus and minus. The Dragon arises through the meeting of opposites. The Dragon is the polarity between plus and minus.

The Dragon is the symbol of Tao – the Journey – and the Journey is the goal. The Dragon is dynamic eternity.

The dark is the unknown, what is repressed from the conscious. In the dark is the hidden treasures of the soul.

If we light a candle a shadow appears. The more we strive for light the bigger shadow will grow behind us.

In darkness we can find fear. Through confronting darkness we are confronting fear and can be free from it. If we escape the darkness our fear will grow for what is in the darkness.

In the Draconian Path a balance between dark and light, the creative and the destructive is the goal.
