PRODUCT: Dragons and serpents of Celtic religion symbolized earth energies, potent forces of the land, which polarized into positive and negative roles. In esoteric terms, the Red Dragon-Ddraig Goch, represents the sovereignty of Britain, and is the totemic beast of the greatest line of kings, the pen-dragons. The Red Dragon (dragon is ddraig in Welsh) is derived from the great red serpent that once represented the old Welsh god Dewi, who later metamorphosed into Wales’s mythical patron Saint David. There is a legend that Merlin, druidic wizard and later resident wise man of King Arthur’s Court, was called to help King Vortigern. He was attempting to build a temple (Stonehenge) on Salisbury plain, but the structure persisted in falling down. Merlin saw the problem was that red and white dragons were fighting in a mystic pool beneath the temple’s foundations. Stonehenge, megalithic stone circle dating from the third millennia BC is built on a powerful convergence of earth energy lines, represented by the two dragons. Merlin prophesied that Vortigern the Red Dragon would be slain be Uther Pendragon, the White Dragon, and so it happened. Ordering
