Dragons of the Deep

"The book investigates dragon myths and legends from Ireland, Scotland and across the globe, seeking to untangle its mythological threads. Seeding folkloric tales and ancient myths with a wealth of information, it details various 'dragon' cults - revealing that serpent and dragon worship were indistinguishable and follow similar tropes wherever they are found. It proposes that the dragon is most iconically linked to the worship of water, and in turn with ancient animist worldviews. The work addresses the reasons that the dragon motif speaks to us; not only as peoples borne of different tribal movements, but to a common humanity and as a uniting motif. I also explore its relevance in today's fast-paced and changing world. edit this"--
