What’s your name?

Who’s your dragon?

Does it breath (does it breath) smoke and fire like me?

Welcome, all!  I couldn’t resist the quirky, groovy 1960s video above.  I was happy to find it because a line from this Zombies’ song kept running through my head when I started thinking of this dragon “game” post.  Except, I didn’t think of it as “Who’s your daddy?” In my mind it was “Who’s your dragon?” 

(By the way, in my mind the dancers are dragons breathing smoke and fire — not cigarettes.)

As I mentioned last weekend, I’m going to turn you all into dragons… sort of anyhow.  Using the “World Dragon Oracle” cards by Virginia Chandler and Anne Stokes, I chose cards that had meanings I could associate to personality traits.  I’ve photographed those cards, and placed them below, along with their traits.  Which dragon is most like you?  Let me know in a comment.

However, if that doesn’t work for you, here’s a years’ worth of dragons from Anne’s calendar.  Your dragon can be the one on your birth month.  Or, you can just pick one that you like from any of the photos farther down in the post.  Either way, let me know in a comment, and make your own reason for why it’s your dragon.

Who’s Your Dragon Based on Personality

Like I was saying, the combined picture above is a shortcut — if the personality method doesn’t work for you.  Mostly we’re choosing from the ones in this photo below:

If you have a great memory, you’ll recognize the names for some of these dragons from my Dragons of Cronesboro posts.  Interestingly, I had not seen these oracle cards when I was researching and choosing names for those characters (human and otherwise).  That research is part of what I lost in the epic OneDrive debacle… But I digress.

Let’s get to it then.  Just look at the card and/or the trait associated with that dragon.  Who’s your dragon?

Apep:  Do you see a large-scale change as a chance for rebirth?  Endings as transformations?  Do people also seem to feel safe with you?  If so, then perhaps your dragon is Apep.

Fafnir:  Have you experienced a major event or even trauma that left you forever changed either emotionally or physically?  Or have you known extreme betrayal or abandonment?  If so, then your dragon may be Fafnir.

Huanglong:  Do others remark about your Zen-like calm?  Are you endlessly curious, yet possessed of an inner stillness?  If so, then Huanglong might be your dragon.

Kulshedra:  Do you find your opinions at odds with those of others?  Do you often wish for or take time for reflection?  Do you often wish you didn’t have to be a grownup?  If you have those inner battles, then Kulshedra is probably your dragon.

Kur:  Can you be relentlessly determined?  Do you sometimes worry that others perceive you as hard, or even uncaring?  Of course, that is not the case. But your dragon might be Kur.

Ladon:  Are you a natural mentor?  Do you cast yourself in the role of “keeper of the flock,” feeling responsible for the safety of any group you’re with, or even for the place? If so, Ladon is likely your dragon.

Quetzalcoatl: Everyone is comprised many “parts.” Do you easily switch from one part to the next, tapping into different aspects of yourself depending on the situation or the role in which you are cast?  Or are you very creative?  If that sounds like you, then Quetzalcoatl might be your dragon. 

Tiamat:  Do you thrive on creating new things or starting new projects?  Do you feel very loved by those around you?  If that’s so, then Tiamat is probably your dragon.

I expect that most of you share traits with more than one of these dragons.  If that’s the case then go back to all the cards that apply, and study the photos.  Look at the details in the artwork and choose the one that just seems to “click” with you.

If you identify with some other dragon that is not in this post, and you want to use it to play along, then be ready to leave a comment about the traits of that dragon with which you identify — and include a picture of it.

Me?  Who’s my dragon?  Well, like some of you, I shared traits with a few of the dragons.  However, one was such a strong “backstory match” that I couldn’t deny it.  My dragon is Fafnir.

So… What’s your name?  Who’s your dragon? Does it breathe smoke and fire? Has it taken? Any time? To show? To show you how to spread your wings and fly?  Okay… so not much of a song parody, but you know.

Thanks for visiting.  Friendly comments are encouraged.  I can’t wait to know which is your dragon!

Hugs on dragon wings!
