The dragon has been a creature of myth and ledgend throughout the world for centuries, chiefly representing the creation of the earth and life as a result of the combination of the elements.
Ancient Celts believed that dragons were creatures of the parallel world and their power and presence had a profound affect on the 'ley of the land' historically meaning how the flow of cosmic forces influenced an area and the affect the area had on those forces. The path of the dragons was critical to the flow of energy, spots where dragons crossed or rested were places of heighened power, Stonehenge is thought to be one of these places. This tradition is also observed in the Orient within the Ancient practice of Feng Shui.
