WHAT IS IT that makes dragons so doggone irresistible?
To find out, I went to one place I know dragon lovers like to hang out... my very own Facebook author group, Linda’s Dragon Guardians.
I asked the simple question: Why do you love dragons?
Here is what they had to say:
In a nutshell, dragons are awe-inspiring and magnificent. They are symbols of honor, possessing power and wisdom. Protective, strong, and beautiful, they are intensely loyal, majestic, graceful, and downright magical.
In the world of shifters, we believe most dragons to be loving, loyal, and true to their mates. Those are coveted traits in anyone… or anything. Not just in dragons, though I'm sure glad that's the way we see them... the good ones, anyway.
We also can’t deny that these magnificent beasts inspire our imaginations. They often let us fly away, providing a respite into another world, if only for a little while.
And there are times when we might just see ourselves in them.
It’s fun to dream of a life filled with these magnificent beings that open up a world of magic. Roald Dahl is quoted as saying “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
How about you? What do you believe? Have you found the magic?
Do you love dragons? If so, I'd love it if you'd take a minute and tell me why.

DeleteI love how strong they are. But not just in strength but strength in loving those they respect, love, trust and loyalty. This are traits we look to find in anyone not just dragons. But then there is the magic that they have. I think we all believe in magic. Great post Linda!
