March 12, 2000: Working with Y Draig Goch, the Red Dragon of Wales

Me and four friends developed a ritual with the specific goal of physically manifesting Y Ddraig Goch. We formed a stone circle, had our offering (porterhouse steak), incense, ritual knives/swords/spears etc. We climbed a 400ft tall hill in the woods outside of Louisville (a show of dedication) and set about preparing the ritual. At this point, everything went wrong. The wood wouldn't light, so we resorted to a fire starter. We cast the circle only to realize that we left half of the ritual tools sitting outside of it, including the offering. I'll admit, it was my bright idea. I prompty said, "Well, there is five of us, and only eight stones. Everyone pick up two stones and we'll just MOVE the circle over to the tools."
After that, we begin the ritual in earnest. We first do a guided meditation, then start the evocation. In what I found out to later be a very badly translated Welsh verse, I call forth Y Ddraig Goch. At this point, we all drive a sword into the ground (that being all five of us driving one sword into the ground) and wait for a response. We got one. The sword was forced out, even with five people pushing downward. So, we do what one naturally does: igonored that entirely and went on with the ritual. We tossed the meat onto the fire, and each drove our individual weapons into the earth. They stayed in this time.
Each of us experienced a different manifestion, which was cool, but not what we really wanted. We wanted something that we could all here and see for verification reasons. We reluctantly closed the ritual, and started to pack up.
At this point, I feel it necessary to state that no one was on drugs.
We start packing up our gear, when we here a roar. All of us heard it. We stopped dead in our tracks. Imagine the mixture of a crotch rocket motorcycle and the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. That is what we all heard, and all around us. We ran back to the circle, too scared to talk. It continued for at least a minute. When it finally stopped, one of my friends ran off into the woods. Another sat down and trembled. I stood there stupidly. We were all under the impression that we offended Y Ddraig Goch and he was going to kill us. He was happy with us losing sleep and being much more serious about working with him.

The other thing that scared me also involves this entity, although this one happened three years later.
A close friend of mine was raped and became pregnant. She ask me to get rid of it magically. I invoked Y Ddraig Goch for the first and only time. (note: the Red Dragon is said to be able to cause women to miscarry, so this is why I chose to work with him for this)
I did it, and she miscarried the next day. What scared me the most was that I went through with it. I tried to rationalize it as it being her belief that it worked that caused the miscarriage, but that doesn't hold water. Even if what I experienced as Y Ddraig Goch used my body was completely in my head, I still provided the vehicle of belief for her.

I believe that Lady Guest was one person who translated the texts. Another being Gantz...etc. The Four Branches of the Mabinogion were not only portrayed as childrens tales but of an oral tradition that spoke of politics and mythologies in an emerging Britain (circa 100BCE onward). Pughe named them Mabinogion, I trust you to know the Welsh translation as I do not.

"The eleven tales collectively draft an imaginative cartography of the divisions and encounters between the mortal and the other worlds, history and myth, politics and poetry. The Mabinogion intimates, in other words, a narrative of "beating the bounds": wandering the far reaches of experience and thought, it revivifies their limits. At the same time, however, the Mabinogion is a crossing of the bounds, as each tale explores the limits of the limits, testing the precarious difference between one and its other .." -Katherine Millersdaughter, medievalist...

Upon rereading the posts I see that I was wrong to act so defensively in my statements. I apologize. As far as my statements to various movements in the new age circle I am not apologetic at all. Political correctness can be taken to a point of idiocy. Pardon, In My Humble Opinion. Bored, sotted Englishmen (and French, American, German, etc....)in the 19th century evidently had a bloody field day with any number of topics which are still being sorted out to this day. Then the Newage Movement came along and with it the wonderous internet and everything became saccharin drivel. Yes everybody is entitled to their opinion, right OR wrong.
You've made your point(s) but I still would like to hear of your tales of Dragons!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/horse.gif)
