that was our intention and is why we also use the name Dragon, they symbols

ooh I like it a lot. That could really work well in Australia.

Thanks for being so open in sharing them, it has been a great help to held
solidify some conceots and practices in my head. I thought the idea of
stickers was great, that seed's been planted, and will let you all know what
I come up with.

Hi,

Chalk works well. Easy to get, easy to shape, can be buried and will
'biodegrade' well. If you'd like, I'll post a few of the fallen wood
talismans we have made so that you can pass them around the Rainbow Dragons
in Oz. Or shall I send them to Karin?
We also have several large staffs with metal Dragon Runes on them and cloth
banners.

I'd agree with Angel about blood; Drawing your own is a strong
psychological act, so I would suggets has magical power. There is also a
red resin called 'Dragons Blood' you might use. We used 'Dragons Blood' in
a ritual during the M11 road protest (East London, about 5 years back) to
avoid the spilling of real blood at a big protest action the following day.
There was some violence at the M11, though all from the security guards and
a few police. Our magic worked, or 'by co-incidence' at least there was no
violence at the action.

Angel replied:

I have a peice of chalk from Twyford Down ( where the recent road UK
protest movement started for many people), and a wand made from a branch of
a yew tree destroyed by the M11 road building. Both have very strong
associations for me and many others.

Adrian.

Here's my two pennies on the matter.

I'd say that it's appropriate not to hurt anything living to make a dragon
rune, unless perhaps you're drawing your own blood.

Drawing ones own blood is recorded in rune magic in the old days, but I see
it as more of a matter of personal choice in the modern world.
Not intending to disrespect our fellow mages in Voodoo currents, I would say
that many see it as more ethical and less cowardly than drawing something
else's blood.
It has been said that when a sorcerer chooses to shed a drop of their own
blood for magic, then it's worth loads of blood from something else.

As for materials, I would get things from a few different sources.

Something found, like windfall wood, or wood from trees which have been
coppiced or trimed for conservation reasons perhaps.

Something stolen from the enemy.
It's been a fairly well established practice amongst protest communities to
recycle material which has been 'pixied' from compounds etc.

Something with a link to protest traditions.
Artefacts from campaigns or events which you personally find monumental, or
very moving in a positive way (not martyrdom of course)
In my case this was a bit of Hazel bender pole from a tree house at
Stanworth Valley.


That's just my thoughts on the matter, and by no means the only view.

I like the idea of linking Australia into the Dragon network.

Ideas that spring to mind include exchanging artifacts by snailmail,
and having an online ritual or a ritual set for the same time.

It would affirm dragon as a global network rather than an European one.

Thanks Angel,
That file you sent was readable and very interesting. I like the concept of
adding to the Dragon rune depending on the situation. Sigilisation and
internalisation through external representations is quite a powerful medium.
Thanks again,

What sort of things have you made the Dragon rune out of?

Ahah!! That makes a lot of sense to me now. I can also see a physical one
being placed there, to help. This would be especially useful in Australia,
where Dragon is just taking off, and we could link into the existing
energies in the UK if needed. Kind of like a telephone tower for Dragon use
only!

Well the method I've adopted (which is at the beginning of the archives at
egroups) is to mentally project the rune onto anything which looks like a
transmitter or telegraph pole.

This is as a public service to any dragon who wants to use it for
broadcasting ecomagic ideas.
Otherwise the method would send out a general dragonness as the psychic
equivalent of background music or something.

That's how I see it, anyway.
It would be interesting to see if other Dragons can tell what each other
were broadcasting and when.

> > I have allready planned my first meme strike as a sigil of;

The idea of memes was developed in the sixties by Richard Dorking.
A meme is an idea or a behavioural thing which can spread like a virus.

Examples would be a word, a back to front basball cap, eating with a knife
and fork, beating little children or blaming all ones personal problems on
Jewish people.

The more malignant memes struggle to survive by detering analysis
or criticism of themselves, so they lead to bookburning, witchunts,
intimidation, brainwashing, etc.

A 'meme strike' is a deliberate and calculated attempt to unleash a meme
upon humanity.

I like to develop and deploy memes to undermine the more opressive and
stifling ones.

Should I explain what I mean by a sigil as well?

Hi,
Helewise wanted to know about the Dragon Rune. Here goes...
There is more about the Dragon Tree Rune (also called the Dragon Rune or
Dragon
Bind Rune) on our site:
<http://www.gn.apc.org/dragon/magicfr.htm>http://www.gn.apc.org/dragon/magi
cfr.htm

But briefly, the Dragon Rune is a bind rune (a combination of several single
runes.) Each of the six runes within it has an energy that is relevant to an
aspect of environmental campaigning or ecology:

Laguz; the source of all organic life. Vital power. Growth. Development.
Fehu: Creation. New ideas. Change.
Tiwaz: Justice by Orlog. Victory. Success. Spiritual discipline. Self
sacrifice.

Kaunaz: Controlled energy.
Elhaz: Guidance. Protection from problems.
Isa, the ice rune, binds, grounds and holds the energy.

It is well balanced and 'safe'.
My knowledge of runes isn't that good, but you get the idea. Others may
well be
able to explain the energy of these runes better. Some people have seen/sensed
other runes in the Dragon Rune or even adapted it slightly.
I think of it as a magical 'swiss army knife'. It is multi-functional and very
adaptable. People have used a physical  Dragon Rune staff to act as the focus
for large scale ritual (a two meter high flaming Dragon Rune in the center
of a
circle is a powerful symbol!), used it as a focus in individual workings, face
painted or body painted it before an environmental protest, graffittied it on
walls, bulldozers, etc, used it on leaflets, meditated with it, and visualized
it in more situations than I can begin to list! It also has a chant associated
with it and a series of physical movements drawn from Tai Chi that is very
effective for grounding before a ritual or protest. We also have small wooden
Dragon Rune talismans on a leather thong (cheap!).
It has been planted around the UK and Europe. We did a tree planting a year or
so back and placed a Dragon Rune drawn on a small piece of wood into the hole
with each tree. It has also been drawn onto lumps of chalk and buried at many
Sacred sites, mostly in the UK, but also in Europe. The idea was to 'link' the
sites, or rather re-link them. A meditation was done at each occasion to gauge
that this was appropriate.
It has it's own energy from the runes, but also has the power put into it by
about 8 years of consistent use in dozens of magical workings. It has become a
store of energy that campaigners with no magical knowledge can usefully draw
on. I know of protesters who have been helped by meditation on the rune when
under arrest or in a bad situation.
It has been used at most of the major grass roots environmental protests in
the
UK over the last 5 - 6 years. There is a story that it was drawn onto a earth
digger that was to be used to destroy trees at a protest site, and the arm of
the digger fell off soon after! To the very best of my knowledge this is pure
myth, but does show the kind of associations the Rune has for people.
Love and Power,
Adrian x

Hi Amy and all,
The questions you asked were good ones, and probably on a few people minds.
There is Frequently Asked Questions page on the Dragon web site, but here
are replys to yours:

The eco-magic list is advertised on the Dragon web site, which also has a
fair bit of background about the Dragon Network and eco-magic:

http://www.gn.apc.org/dragon

>Is this all I need do to subscribe, or is there another step? How
>long has it been going on and who is in it? Where are you
>'advertising' it? Is there an upper limit on numbers?

The list has only just started. Once you have subcribed you will
automatically recieve all posted messages. If you have a problem, e-mail
me. There is an archive of postings at:

http://www.egroups.com/group/dragon-network/
No limit on numbers. I find most lists have a fair few 'lurkers' - People
who are happy to read and learn but don't have the inclination to post too
much, so it's good to have a lot of people. This is an open list which
means anyone can join, and that may mean all sorts of messages turning up!

>I'm also very interested in your journal- receiving it, and perhaps
>contributing.

The new Dragon Eco-magic Journal will be lauched at our Tenth Birthday
celebrations on July 22 2000. It will be a printed magazine, but it will
also be available in Acrobat format on the Dragon site. I am editing it,
and very much want your contributions. Anything related to eco-magic is
welcome. Bear in mind that this is a journal to expolre and discuss
eco-magic, not a newsletter: It will be published fairly irregualarly and
we want articles that won't 'age' too much, but will still be inspiring and
useful in a year from now.

>Where is Conway Hall? And what's happening there?

The Dragon Tenth Birthday celebrations will be held in Conway Hall in
London (near Holborn) on July 22 2000. Details will be posted here and on
the web site.

I'm headed there right now....

Love and Power,
Adrian x

Adrian,

I'm very excited about this new mailing list... Sylvie Shaw told me
about it, and as I remembered you from when I was in England [I
was with River Ocean Research & Education, and you were(are?)
involved with GreenNet, our ISP] and know you to be a veritable
fountain of fascination. :-)

Is this all I need do to subscribe, or is there another step? How
long has it been going on and who is in it? Where are you
'advertising' it? Is there an upper limit on numbers?

I'm also very interested in your journal- receiving it, and perhaps
contributing. Where is Conway Hall? And what's happening there?

I've just finished editing 'Gatherings', the e-zine for the new
EcoPsychology site. Take a look at it if you haven't already, and let
me know what you think- it's at:
www.ecopsychology.org/gatherings/index.html
for the newsletter/e-zine, and just www.ecopsychology.org for the
site itself.

Love,

Amy

Hi angel, this is a really interesting topic. I'm Adrianne in Australia
(yes, and my last name is harris, so I'll try not to confuse you all
too much), and amd just starting to look at and explore the dragon rune.

Am I reading this right: you make a physical dragon rune, hurl it
physically into a trasmitter mast, then visualise a message you want
trasmitted to (to whom?)

I've done two workings today, for the goldmining thing.

Both of them are associated with the sun mercury conjunction
which is predicted to be at it's most perfect at 1:15 PM GMT on 1st of
March.

One of them was aimed at making gold processing either safer, or not
happening, and it used BOBOGEL  and BNAPSOL from the Enochian archives.
They seemed to have quite relevant correspondences.


After that I invoked Eris and Pan, and 'the chaosurge' and blessed the
dragon with  wisdom and the ability to disrupt orderly structures which are
bad for biodiversity. (with certain goldmining and processing activities in
mind)

In other words, I've charged the dragon rune with something for the
campaign against SC Rosia Montana Gold Corp, and similar projects.

I shall hopefully be continuing with workings on this mission later in the
week.

If anyone's wondering what I'm talking about, then please don't be too shy
to ask.

best wishes,

Angel

I was a bit reluctant to use this method at first because it felt a bit
territorial, but when the idea soaked in, then I started thinking of things
that I'd want to broadcast.

There are at least two of us in south Wales who are into visualising
the dragon rune onto transmitter masts now.

I have allready planned my first meme strike as a sigil of;

"The simplest games are the most addictive,
   and hatred is a very simple game"

I would explain this as having something to do with the Eastern idea that
compassion, liberation and non-attachment are synergeous with each other.

For more down to earth castings, I plan to transmit stuff from
my coursework.

Best wishes,

Angel

Hello, my handles Angel, and I used to do a lot of work with Leeds dragon.

I like paganism, chaos magic, and mysticism aimed at liberation.

I'm a mature student in Swansea these days, doing a degree in 'environmental
conservation' and I'm interested in expanding my networks down here with a
view to getting groups and workshops together.

erm, that's about all I've got to say for myself.

Best wishes,

Angel

I guess if we're doing the intro thing I'd better come out from behind
my tree and say hello. I'm Ann, 28, from South Wales. Part-time
psychologist, part-time web designer, full-time witch, trainee
eccentric, good-as-married to a wonderful man called Louis. I'm
relatively new to Dragon, but very keen to get involved - I'm a

Hi,

there has been interest in targetting gold mining companies, and after last
weeks cyanide spilll it seems all the more crucial to go with this. IMO
eco-magic works best when it is precisely targetted (ie at a specific
project of a specific company) and is intiated before the project is fuly
'manifested'. The mail belew came via George Mobiot, so I expect there will
be a convetional campaign running against it too.
Anyone fancy a go at SC Rosia Montana Gold Corp?

Adrian.

I mean the discussion group.  I'm up for it......
....I mean the discussion group!

My first contribution, not a new idea I'm afraid, but simple to execute.....

At Crystal Palace, Liz Murray had the idea of vieualising a dragon rune on top
of crystal palace radio tower, broadcasting on all frequencies a subliminal eco
message.

Sinhce then, I've been pitching them up onto radio towers and mobile phone masts
wherever I go.

It can be done on the move, just by visualising a circle of light around your
self, and visualising a glowing or flaming rune on top of the mast, as you pass
it by at high speed in a train or car.  (It's best if someone else is driving
though!)

It also works as part of a ritual.  Since then we've put them on the Post Office
tower, and a radio mast near men an tol.  Established ones can always use a bit
of maintenance.

If lots of people do this we will have a web of Dragon runes in the sky to match
Dave Aylwards network on the ground!

Have fun with it!

Hi,

This is a new e-mail group to discuss eco-magic techniques and ideas. It is
entirely open and unmoderated.

Cheers,
