Use Tuesdays for spells for courage, change, independence in home or business life, for overcoming seemingly impossible odds and for passion.
Where possible, work near a fire or a bonfire or with a huge red beeswax candle as a focus; alternatively work next to a flowerbed or large vase of red, orange and/or yellow flowers.
The Western Dragon
Unlike the beneficent Easter Dragon, The Western Dragon is a symbol of totally unleashed destructive power that is set upon anyone who crosses the Dragon’s path. The Western Dragon also hordes treasures that should rightfully be ours, and whose absence deprives us from being complete. The challenges set before us by the Western Dragon are truly prodigious, because they denote a force whose sole intent is not simply to keep us from moving forward in our lives, but to usurp all that we have previously gained as well. What is even more disturbing about the force behind the Western Dragon is that it may well indicate primal forces in ourselves so powerful that they do in fact turn us into our own worst enemy.
As a daily card, The Western Dragon is a powerful negative force intent upon thwarting your progress. In such a short time frame it is most likely you’re being undermined by an external force–someone who wants what you have gained or gains your are near realizing. While formidable, this bellicose entity does have vulnerabilities. First, there is nothing subtle about the forces represented by The Western Dragon, so the source will be easy for you to identify. Secondly, The Western Dragon represents undisciplined, primal energies that aren’t easy to control, so they are susceptible to logical responses steeped in self control. In short, don’t panic, act deliberately and decisively, and you will weather this storm.

As a follower of the Draconic Tradition, I pledge the following in the names of my Gods and to may dragon friends. May they bear witness to this, my solemn Oath:
I vow I will use the teachings and rituals of the Draconic Tradition only to bring honor to my Gods, provide for the betterment and safeguarding of myself and my Clan, or work to preserve balance and harmony.
I will do whatever I can to bring knowledge of and respect for dragons back to the world, even if I must do so in subtle and quiet ways. For I know well that beneficial energy and works need no fanfare to be effective.
In all things I will strive to do no harm lest it be in the defense of the helpless, the innocent, my family, my Clan or my person.
Should I ever knowingly and willfully forsake this Oath, may my Gods turn their faces from me; May my dragon allies depart from me and never return unless I can find away to redeem my shame and reclaim my honor.
Dragon Ring Code
Draconic House Protection
J’Karrah EbonDragon, 1994
The simple act of living can make our home spiritually and magically “dirty” as well as physically dirty. And just as you routinely clear out the physical dirt in your home, you should also routinely clear out the magical and spiritual dirt. Now you may be wondering just where this spiritual and magical dirt comes from. It comes from the aggravation adults bring home from work after a hard day and children bring home from school. It comes from the inevitable arguments and conflicts that occur when you have different people living in the same house. It comes from our fears and worries, our concerns and hardships. It is “tracked” in behind us just as mud is tracked in from the yard to sully the carpet. And if you live in an apartment building, it can seep into your space from your neighbors.
The purpose of this ritual is to cleanse your personal space of the unwanted energies, spirits, emotions, etc. that make our home spiritually and magically dirty and then to help keep it that way. It is generally a good idea to do this ritual at least once a year, but it can be done anytime you feel there is a need for it. It should definitely be done before moving into a new home or apartment (if possible… definitely afterwards), or after remodeling your present home, as any structural modifications will break any protective seals already established. It is a pretty standard magical format used in a variety of different traditions. The exception is you are also calling on the assistance of your Dragon friends to help clear and seal your personal space.
Needed Items:
1) a nice bell or chime
2) purification incense or sage smudge stick (if you use a smudge stick, also use a heavy, *clean,* preferably new ashtray lined with sand to place it on)
3) small hand fan
4) protection incense
5) small, sturdy tray table if you are doing more than one room
6) small hand bell or chime
7) a consecrated string of bells to hang on your inner door knob of each exterior leading door if doing an entire house or apartment.
8) a dish of salt water
9) Normal altar equipment
If you are just doing a single room, Cast a formal Circle and “push” the Circle’s perimeter so that it matches the exact dimensions of your room. If you will be moving about your entire dwelling, you won’t be casting a formal Circle. You should, however, still call the Dragons of the Quarters, invite your Dragon companion(s). You should also be sure that the final room has an outside exit. If you are in an apartment and your main door leads to a hallway, make sure there is an open window to the outside available in the last room you intend to cleanse.
The Ritual:
Step 1: Stand for a moment and commune with those whom you have called to assist you to let them know what you are planning on doing. When you feel ready say:
Dragons of Power, Dragons of Light!
Dragons of Wisdom, Dragons of Might!
Lend me your magic, lend me your aid!
Lend me your guidance as this spell is made!
Step 2: Hold your hands over the salt water and say:
As salt dissolves in water, so too shall the hold of any unwelcome and unwanted influences and forces that may be attached to my place, my property or my person! By the power of my own will and that of my Dragon friends, so will it be!
If you are going to be doing multiple rooms, place the water bowl, wand, purification and protection incenses and burner (or smudge stick and ashtray) and fan on the tray and set it all by the door of the room you are currently working in.
Step 3:Pick up the purification incense or smudge stick and walk around the room , fanning the smoke to be sure it reaches all the corners, in any closets, and behind/under the furniture, etc. Visualize the smoke driving all the unwanted stuff into the burning perimeter of the Circle to be consumed by Dragon Fire. Trace a pentacle before each door, window and mirror (also: vents, drains, fireplace openings, etc.) with the incense to seal it. As you move about the room say:
By Dragon magic and the power of Fire and Air, I banish for all time any unwelcome or unwanted energies, forces and influences from this space!
Let this place be Purified and sealed!
If you are doing multiple rooms, start at the door and drive drive the stuff before you as you circle the room and then out the door into the next room. Seal the door with a pentagram to keep the stuff from getting back in.
Step 4: Return to your work station and pick up the bell. Following the same path as before, ring the bell continuously as you walk the room, paying special attention to the door, windows and mirrors. Visualize the sound of the bell driving any goop that may have escaped the smoke either into the Dragon Fire of the Circle’s boundary or out the door (don’t worry about the seal already at the door… it’s one-way: bad stuff goes out but can’t come back in) you started from.
By Dragon magic and the tones of the sacred bell, I banish for all time any unwelcome or unwanted energies, forces and influences from this space!
Let this place be Purified and sealed!
Step 5: pick up the protection incense and make a final pass around the room, taking the came care as you did with the purification incense fanning the smoke to be sure it reaches all the corners, in any closets, and behind/under the furniture, etc. Visualize the smoke permeating the walls, floor and ceiling to form a permanent protective barrier. Trace a pentacle before each door, window and mirror with the incense to seal it. As you move about the room say:
By Dragon magic and Dragon’s Breath, I seal this place for all time any unwelcome or unwanted energies, forces and influences from this space!
Step 6 Sprinkle the room generously with the salt water (being mindful of things that shouldn’t be splashed with water) while walking the same path as before saying:
By Dragon Tears, the combined powers of Earth and Water, I consecrate and bless this space according to my will and for the good of my family and my Clan. I here by banish for all time any unwelcome and unwanted energies, forces and influences.
For as long as I Will it only that which is beneficial and invited may enter here. This place is not forever barred under pain of Dragon Fire to any spirits, beings, energies or influences that may try to enter for the purpose of doing harm.
I invite in only those spirits, beings, energies and forces that are in accord with my Will, my desires and my purpose. By my will and under the vigilant protection of my Dragon allies, so will it be!
When you are finished, pour any remaining salt water down the drain. Place the sting of bells on your front door (mine hang from the door knob) where the sound of the bells will keep any unwanted “visitors” from following anyone inside. The cold incense ash can be placed in a decorative bottle or in a sachet and hung next to the door as a protection talisman.
Thank those Dragons who came to your assistance, and then “push” the protective energy of the circle (if you cast one) into your new house protections to help strengthen them by adding another layer. The ritual is over.
Draconic Elemental Charging of Blades
The purpose of this ritual is to charge a ritual blade with the elemental forces of nature via the assistance of draconic “elemental mages.”
What this means is that, as with human magic workers, different Dragons can have an affinity with different elemental energies. Just as you don’t have “elemental humans” you don’t have “elemental Dragons…” you simply have those who prefer to work with the energies of one element over another. Sometimes, you will find a Dragon who works equally well with all elemental energies and other times those who couldn’t tell a salamander from an undine.
Whenever you hear someone talking about “elemental Dragons,” those that embody the forces of a particular Element, most likely they are either confusing the mage with the magic, or they are seeing an elemental critter in draconic form. The common metaphysical representations of each element are: Fire- the Salamander; Water- the Undine; Air- the Zephyer; Earth- the Gnome.
Also while this ritual should be performed during a thunderstorm, and for best results, as close to the full moon as possible, it is not necessary (nor especially advisable) to place the blade you are charging directly out in the storm as this can ruin it. Placing the blade out on a sheltered, open aired porch, garage, gazebo, etc is sufficient. I also strongly recommend that the blade be coated with a good quality metal oil or silicon (spray or cloth such as can be found in the gun section of a sporting goods store), or coat it with a substance called “Renaissance Wax” which can be purchased on line at “Museum Replicas” Just do a site search of “Renaissance Wax” and you’ll find it. (BTW, this is a great place to find that perfect ritual blade!)
Needed items: Normal altar equipment; Blade to be charged
Step 1: take the blade to be charged to a location where it will not be disturbed. If you trust the blade will come to no harm, sink it 3-6 inches into the ground (if you don’t have an area of ground you can safely use, the blade can be placed in a large pot of soil) and pour a circle of salt around it approximately 12 inches in diameter and say:
In the name(s) of (personal deity), I ask the Dragons of the Elements to touch this blade and infuse it with elemental power! May all the forces of power and justice, as unstoppable as this storm, be drawn into this blade.
Step 2: Call upon the Guardian Dragons of each Gate to individually touch the blade with elemental force. If you have regular Gate guardians and you know their names (or the names they use when working with you) then call their names at the beginning of each invocation.
Great Dragon of the East, and all the Dragons of Air, riders of the storm winds, weavers of Wisdom, make this blade straight and true for the honor and glory of my Gods, my Dragon friends and my Clan!
Great Dragon of the South, and all the Dragons of Fire, whose power is manifested by the lightening bolt, hold fast the power of transformation within this blade that it may better aid me in my service to my Gods, my Dragon friends, and my Clan!
Great Dragon of the West, and all the Dragons of Water, you who swim the ocean currents and bring the cleansing rains, rinse away all doubt and uncertainty of purpose from this steel and s/he who wields it that both may be as unstoppable as the raging flood in defense of justice and the innocent, for my Gods, my dragon friends, and my Clan!
Great Dragon of the North, and all the Dragons of Earth, shakers and shapers of the World, keepers of mystery and secrets, keep strong this blade and s/he who wields it that I may be able to see into the heart of mystery and with it’s aid discern the truth in any situation for the glory of my Gods, my Dragon friends and my Clan!
Step 3: Ask for the blessings of the Gods by saying:
Name(s) of deity) , I ask that You pour forth Your blessings upon this blade, and that You touch it with Your powers, that it may be a worthy magical weapon, aiding me as I work in Your service.
Step 4: Go back indoors if you wish, or remain outside, until the storm has passed. Meditate on the desired effects of the ritual for at least 10-15 minutes. When the storm is over give thanks to the Gods and the Dragons for their assistance. Take up the Blade and immediately give it a thorough cleaning and oiling
Entering the Mouth of the Dragon
This ritual, Entering the Mouth of the Dragon, will likely be one of the most interesting, enlightening experience of your magical career if you approach it with the right attitude. It is a ritual that can be repeated whenever you want, as many times as you wish. Since a magician on the ultimate spiritual path is constantly seeking and being initiated, a single initiation ceremony is not considered either adequate or a sign that nothing further is needed in the way of knowledge. Initiation must be a periodic, ongoing experience, a striving for greater contact with higher powers that has no end.
Many of the ancient pictures and carvings of humans being devoured by dragons may in fact be a symbol of initiation. It is difficult to know whether someone is entering or leaving the dragon’s mouth. To a dedicated magician, this path into other planes is well-worn; she/he never feels they have learned all there is to know. The magician follows the Otherworld path confident that she/he is not the first to do so, nor will she/he be the last. The magician is driven by an inner yearning for growth on all levels of her/his being.
The experiences gained during this meditation-type ritual can help you make changes in your life, pick up your spirits when you are down, provide you with new insight and goals. It will be rare that a magician comes out of the experience with nothing. Of course, if you put nothing of your energy into the experience, you are likely to get little in return. Remember dragons work as co-magicians only when there is an exchange of energy.
During this initiation ritual, you will be going in meditation into a huge cave shaped like the mouth of a dragon. This is best done on a Full Moon or bright noon. For 24 hours before the ceremony, try to remain aware and conscious of dragon power. You will find it flowing through all kinds of people, objects and happenings. Just before entering the ritual area for initiation, take a cleansing bath with at least some salt and perhaps a little dragon’s blood powder in the water. Be certain that you have your magical name chosen. Dress in your ritual apparel. Carry any selected magical jewelry to the altar; do not wear it until it has been consecrated.
Supplies: pentacle disk, dragon pentacle, water chalice with a little fresh water in it, dish of salt, wine chalice, black (left) and white (right) altar candles, sword, wand, incense burner, initiation or blessing incense, dragon’s blood and thyme, dragon mirror, gong or bell.
Set altar in the center facing east. Make certain that you will not be disturbed once you have cast the circle. This may mean silencing the telephone and hanging a “do not disturb” sign on the door. Instrumental music also helps to set the mood and mask background noises.
Begin the ritual by going to the east. With your sword in your power hand (the one with which you write), “draw” your magical circle on floor around your ritual area. Do this by pointing the sword at the floor and seeing great flames shooting from it. Move clockwise around the circle with this flame; end by overlapping it in the east. While drawing the circle, saying:
BY DRAGON POWER, THIS CIRCLE IS SEALED.
Return to the altar. Point the sword at the dragon pentacle and say:
DRAGONS OF SPIRIT, HIGHEST OF DRAGONS AND MOST POWERFUL, BLESS THIS ALTAR WITH YOUR FIRE. LET US BE ONE IN MAGICK, O DRAGONS GREAT AND WISE.
Set the water chalice on the pentacle. (The water used in the chalice is not to be confused with the water you collect from various watery power spots.) With the wand in your power hand, circle the chalice three times clockwise with the wand and say:
AIR, FIRE, EARTH, BRING POWER FORTH,
WATER OF LAND AND SEA, PURIFIED BE.
Hold the chalice high, say:
DRACONIS! DRACONIS! DRACONIS!
Sprinkle the water lightly around the circled area, beginning and ending in the east.
Set the dish of salt on the pentacle. Circle it three times clockwise with the wand and say:
WATER, AIR, FIRE, HEAR MY DESIRE.
SALT OF EARTH AND SEA, PURIFIED BE.
Sprinkle a few grains of salt to each corner of the altar. Circle the incense burner three times clockwise with the wand. Say:
FIRE OF DRAGONS, FIRE OF EARTH,
YOU ARE PURIFIED. BRING POWER FORTH.
Circle the incense and herbs three times clockwise with the wand. Say:
INCENSE MAGICKAL, INCENSE BOLD,
AWAKE THE DRAGONS, AS OF OLD.
I CALL YOU PURIFIED.
Put a small amount of incense onto the burning coals. Lift the burner by the chains and touch it lightly to the pentacle. Lift it high over the altar, say:
DRACONIS! DRACONIS! DRACONIS!
Then carry it clockwise around the circle, beginning and ending in the east. Return it to the altar.
Kneel before the altar with the sword in both hands. Mentally, dedicate yourself to the study of dragon magic. Project your interest and love of dragons as strongly as you can. Continue this for several minutes. Then rise and point the sword at the dragon pentacle and say:
BEHOLD, ALL DRAGONS AND RULERS OF DRAGONS,
I AM (magical name), A MAGICIAN WHO SEEKS DRAGON MAGICK.
WITH (name of sword) IN MY HAND, I ENTER THE REALMS OF THE DRAGONS.
NOT FOR PHYSICAL BATTLE, BUT FOR KNOWLEDGE AND POWER.
I GREET YOU, O DRAGONS, ANCIENT AND WISE, AND AWAIT YOUR BLESSING AND GUIDANCE.
Continue holding the sword outstretched until you feel the blessings of the dragons.
When the flowing power of the blessing has lessened, lower the sword. Still holding the sword in your power hand, take the dragon pentacle in your other hand and go to the east. Point the sword at the eastern position and hold up the dragon pentacle facing outward. Draw an invoking pentagram with the sword. Say:
FROM SAIRY’S (sair’-iss), RULER OF THE EASTERN DRAGONS FAIR,
COMES NOW THE WONDROUS POWER OF AIR.
Feel the power of Air entering your body. When the flow stops, go to the south. Hold up the pentacle again. Draw and invoking pentagram with the sword; say:
FROM FAFNIR (far’-near), RULER OF DRAGONS OF THE SOUTH,
COMES CLEANSING FIRE FROM DRAGON MOUTH.
Feel the power of Fire entering the body. When the flow stops go to the west. Again hold up the pentacle. Draw an invoking pentagram with the sword; say:
FROM NAELYAN (nail’-yon), RULER OF DRAGONS OF THE WEST,
COME THE POWER OF WATER, THREE TIMES BLEST.
Draw into yourself the power of Water. Go to the north. Hold up the pentacle. Draw an invoking pentagram with the sword; saying:
FROM GRAEL (grail), RULER OF DRAGONS OF THE NORTH,
THE POWER OF EARTH DOES NOW COME FORTH.
Draw into yourself the power of Earth. Return to the altar. Lay aside the sword and dragon pentacle. Add more dragon’s blood powder and thyme (or other appropriate incense) to the incense burner.
Lay any magical jewelry on the pentacle disk and touch it with the point of your sword. Say:
BY DRAGON POWER, I CALL YOU PURIFIED.
BY DRAGON FIRE, I CALL YOU BLESSED.
BY DRAGON MAGICK, I CALL YOU POWERFUL.
THROUGH DRAGON WISDOM, I WELCOME YOU.
Slowly pass the jewelry through the incense smoke. Then put it on.
Take up the mirror, the Eye of the Dragon. Hold it before you and gaze deeply into it. Picture yourself as a confident magician of dragon magic. Say:
I AM A SEEKER OF DRAGON KNOWLEDGE.
I COME WILLINGLY FOR INITIATION.
INTO THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON I GO OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
WELCOME ME, DRAGONS OLD AND WISE.
DRACONIS! DRACONIS! DRACONIS!
Lay aside the mirror and sit before the altar. Either lay the sword across your knees or at your feet during this meditation.
Close your eyes and mentally see before you the mouth of a huge cave. It is shaped like the mouth of a dragon. Inside, from some deep terrestrial fire, comes a red glow. Long drops of stone hang around the opening like teeth. Enter the cave and follow the dim passageway deep into the Earth. After many twists and turns, you will enter a circular subterranean chamber with crystals embedded in the walls. A gem-encrusted altar stands in the center of the floor. On the altar is a jeweled chalice.
At the four cardinal points of the circular chamber you see deep pits or cracks in the floor. From these pits comes the red glow of fire from deep under the Earth. The chamber is lit by their light alone. Sometimes you see the shadowy forms of dragons around the dim edges of the chamber.
Stand before the altar and announce to the dragons that you have come for initiation. Be sure to call yourself by your magical name. You will feel power sent to from all sides by the half-seen dragons. Listen for any messages that they may give you.
Finally, you will hear the deep voice of a dragon saying, “Drink of the cup.” Visualize yourself lifting the heavy jeweled cup and drinking the contents. You will feel dragon magic coursing through your body, seeping into your bones. Thank the dragons, and follow the dim corridor upward until you reach the cave opening. Open your eyes and return to the here and now.
Rise and set the wine chalice on the pentacle. Circle it three times clockwise with the wand and say:
CUP OF POWER, CUP OF MIGHT,
DRAGON MAGICK, BE HERE THIS NIGHT.
Drink the wine, saving back some to be poured outside on the ground later as an offering to the dragons. (If it is not possible to pour the offering outside, leave it on the altar for about an hour.)
Now is an excellent time to chant and use free-form dancing. Invite the dragons to share in the raised energy and your joy of being a magician. Talk to them about your hopes and dreams. And listen to see if they have suggestions or words of encouragement for you. This is an opportunity for close friendship to be forged.
To close the ritual, take the sword and go to the east. Draw a banishing pentagram with the sword; say:
GO IN PEACE, DRAGONS OF THE EAST.
AND RETURN AGAIN IN THE RITUAL HOUR.
Go to the south. Draw a banishing pentagram with the sword; say:
GO IN PEACE, DRAGONS OF THE SOUTH.
AND RETURN AGAIN IN THE RITUAL HOUR.
Go to the west. Draw a banishing pentagram with the sword; say:
GO IN PEACE, DRAGONS OF THE WEST.
AND RETURN AGAIN IN THE RITUAL HOUR.
Finish by going to the north. Draw a banishing pentagram with the sword; say:
GO IN PEACE, DRAGONS OF THE NORTH.
AND RETURN AGAIN IN THE RITUAL HOUR.
Return to the altar. Raise both arms say:
FAREWELL TO YOU, O DRAGONS FAIR,
FIRE, WATER, EARTH AND AIR.
TOGETHER WE MAKE MAGICK WELL
BY POWER DEEP AND DRAGON SPELL.
IN PEACE GO NOW. RETURN ONCE MORE
TO TEACH ME MAGICK AND ANCIENT LORE.
DRACONIS! DRACONIS! DRACONIS!
Cut the circle with a backward sweep of the sword across the boundary line. Extinguish the altar candles. Clear the altar of all tools. You have now entered the mouth of the dragon and become an initiate into dragon magic. Being an initiate does not mean mastery of magic. An initiate is a beginner on the path.
The Element of Water
Naelyan
(Dragon of Seas, Springs, Lakes, Ponds and Rivers)
The element of Water governs the western quarters of the circle. Its dragon ruler is Naelyan (nail’-yon), who oversees the dragons of the seas, springs, lakes, ponds and rivers. Its color is pure blue; it is cold and moist. Positive association of Water are: sunset, autumn, the water chalice, any form of helpful water, compassion, peacefulness, forgiveness, love, intuition, calmness, peace of mind. Negative associations are: floods, rainstorms, whirlpools, any kind of harmful water, laziness, indifference, instability, lack of emotional control, insecurity.
The subspecies of the element of Water are those of the seas and various waters. It is not unusual to find this element working in conjunction with dragons of wind, storm, and weather, mountains and forest, or those of destruction.
In Cambodia, land of nagas and dragons, each reservoir has its temples where its divinity is worshipped in dragon form. In Chinese legend, the first emperor to take on a dragon form, was Fu Hsi; this dragon-king put the Primordial Waters into order by digging dikes, canals and irrigation ditches: he also tamed the Yellow River, making it safe for humans to live beside it.

I ordered 4 BOS’s for the “Raffle for a Cause.” Three of them came in. I was beginning to sweat it. But Mystie went down to the Post Office and guess what was there! You got it, the 4th BOS. Take a look…….
Isn’t it fantastic. Check out the details on it…..
The Double Dragon leather bound, blank book has been hand tooled to depict the image of two dragons facing each other in fight, with their scaled, serpentine bodies entwined. The result is a beautiful image of harmony and mysticism, certain to inspire those who put their thoughts to pen within the pages within. These pages are acid free, and made entirely of recycled biomass. The result is approximately 250 pages of sturdy paper that is well suited for accepting pencil, ink, and even light washes or paints.
The book measures 7″ by 5″ and is held closed with a leather strap.
I am going to add it to the raffle page. I am so happy I got what I wanted to put up for auction. Everyone of you are super great people and I think you deserve the best. Remember the auction runs to August 25th. Then if you win you get your choice of one of the 4 BOS’s.
Here’s the link again. Give me a minute to add this one to the page. Have Fun, Enjoy & Good Luck.
The Western Dragon
Unlike the beneficent Easter Dragon, The Western Dragon is a symbol of totally unleashed destructive power that is set upon anyone who crosses the Dragon’s path. The Western Dragon also hordes treasures that should rightfully be ours, and whose absence deprives us from being complete. The challenges set before us by the Western Dragon are truly prodigious, because they denote a force whose sole intent is not simply to keep us from moving forward in our lives, but to usurp all that we have previously gained as well. What is even more disturbing about the force behind the Western Dragon is that it may well indicate primal forces in ourselves so powerful that they do in fact turn us into our own worst enemy.
As a daily card, The Western Dragon is a powerful negative force intent upon thwarting your progress. In such a short time frame it is most likely you’re being undermined by an external force–someone who wants what you have gained or gains your are near realizing. While formidable, this bellicose entity does have vulnerabilities. First, there is nothing subtle about the forces represented by The Western Dragon, so the source will be easy for you to identify. Secondly, The Western Dragon represents undisciplined, primal energies that aren’t easy to control, so they are susceptible to logical responses steeped in self control. In short, don’t panic, act deliberately and decisively, and you will weather this storm.

My marching orders are clear-cut on this ‘Improve Your Office Day.’ And I’m assuming that you already have all the gold standard Feng Shui at play in your office. A statue or image of an eagle flying into the office bringing bundles of cash and opportunity is office Feng Shui 101. Equally powerful is putting a symbol of water (or the real deal) in the ‘Career’ arena and something associated with fire (a lamp or light) in your ‘Fame’ area. Then there’s the ‘secret’ Shui that will give you a big jump up the ladder of success. When energizing an office you should strive to activate the auspicious good fortunes symbolized by the sacred dragon. You can invite incredible dragon magic by placing nine dragons on the east wall of your office, whether at your business or at home. Dragons with a symbolic pearl represent success, power and material gain. If you cannot find nine dragons together in an image you can use two dragons chasing the pearl. Be sure to download images of the ‘five clawed imperial dragon,’ as this is said to be the dragon of emperors. Most importantly, don’t enclose your dragon, as they need to fly free. This dragon will breathe real fire into your office and your career!
