Dragons of The Deep: Origins & Lore

Description

Dragons of The Deep?investigates dragon myths and legends from Ireland, Scotland and across the globe, seeking to untangle their mythological threads. Seeding folkloric tales and ancient myths with a wealth of information, this book details various dragon cults, revealing that serpent and dragon worship were indistinguishable but follow similar tropes wherever they’re found, proposing that the dragon is, perhaps, most iconically linked to the worship of water and, in turn with ancient animist worldviews. Dragons of The Deep?addresses the reasons the dragon motif, as a uniting motif, speaks to us -?not only as people borne by different tribal movements but also as a common humanity -?exploring its relevance in today?s fast-paced, changing world.
