I had a Question from a Dragon Atheist and thought to share with you, in case you are still not connecting with your Dragons, they will assist you in SO MANY AMAZING ways and are looking for you to connect. You can visit www.meetyourdragons.com, my GIFT to you....

Question:

"I’ve been reading your newsletters and following the Dragon path material, and I realised I’d love a bit more clarity from your perspective. How would you describe this work to someone who doesn’t yet have a framework for it or who is naturally a bit sceptical? How would you describe this to an 'atheist'?

When you speak about dragons, I’m not always sure how literally to understand that language. Are the dragons meant as symbolic representations, or are they experienced as actual beings in your practice? I’m genuinely curious and asking to better understand, not to challenge the work.

Thank you in advance for shedding some light on this."

My answer:

Thank you for such a thoughtful message. I genuinely appreciate the care behind your questions.

If I was explaining this work to someone who is sceptical, or who would call themselves atheist, I would keep it very simple.

This is a practical inner practice that uses guided journeying, breath, focused attention, and symbolism to shift your nervous system, your emotions, and your choices. You do not need a belief system to do it. You only need curiosity and a willingness to try a short experiment and notice what changes.

About the dragons, I use dragon language in two valid ways, and you get to choose the lens that works for you.

Lens one, psychological and symbolic
You can treat dragons as powerful archetypes of the psyche. A way to access intuition, courage, boundaries, healing, and deep inner resources. In that frame, dragons are not “out there”, they are a language your deeper mind understands, a bit like using myth or story to reach something logic cannot reach on its own.

Lens two, spiritual and literal
In my own practice, dragons are experienced as conscious beings, allies and guides. People often feel them as presence, energy, imagery, or communication during journeys. I do not expect you to accept that on faith. I simply share it as my lived experience and the lived experience of many students.

Here is the honest answer to your question about how literally to take it. You do not have to decide upfront. If you stay open to either interpretation, you can still receive the benefits. In fact, trying to force certainty too early often blocks the experience

So here is my friendly challenge for you.

Take 60 minutes and meet your dragon, as an experiment, not a belief statement.
Go here: www.meetyourdragons.com

Do the process once, then write down three things:

• What you felt in your body
• What you saw or sensed, even if it felt like imagination
• One practical action you feel nudged to take in the next 24 hours

Then, test the results. Does it calm you, strengthen you, clarify you, or shift anything in your day? If yes, you have something real to work with, regardless of what you believe about dragons. 

If you do try it, reply and tell me what happened. Even one or two lines is perfect.

Blessings,

Kev

p.s. I met a dragon in this reality in 2017 : that story….

THE DAY I MET A DRAGON
22 April 2017

I know that look. The one that says, "I think you're mad" when I talk about dragons like they're part of everyday life.

When I was a child, I lived in the old myth. I imagined I was a knight in shining armour, riding my war horse, lance in hand, charging full gallop at a fire breathing dragon to save a terrified village.

QUESTION FOR YOU
What were your childhood fantasies?

THE DAY IT HAPPENED
It was a Saturday. Cool, bright, the kind of sunshine that makes the land feel awake. I was at Dry Leys, riding Fav.

I've been her human for the last 18 years. By my rough calculations, we've ridden together over 4,300 times. Not once has this powerful Shire been afraid of anything. Tractors, combine harvesters, barking dogs, flapping tarps, we ride past it all like it's nothing.

Fav gives me courage. With her, I ride like the world is safe.

But that day, something changed.

She stopped.

Not a hesitation. Not a wobble. This was primal fear. She would not go past the corner of a field we'd ridden by countless times.

I spent ten minutes trying to coax her forward. Nothing. So I took another route, then circled back, curious, listening, wanting to understand what she was sensing.

When we returned, the fear was even clearer. She would not go within about 50 feet of the spot.

I stopped. I breathed. I put my hand on her neck and asked softly, "Fav, what is it?"

She backed up ten paces.

Reversing is never her gear.

So I did the only thing I could think to do. I softened my breath like I was dropping into meditation. I looked at the place that was terrifying my brave girl, and I asked it directly.

"Who are you?"

Nothing.

I asked again, stronger this time, because how dare anything frighten my steed like this.

"Who are you?"

THE MOMENT
The air in that spot felt different, like heat haze with a mind of its own. Fav felt fear. I felt neutral. Watchful. Still.

Then it shimmered.

Not like a film effect. More like reality thinning.

And I saw it.

First the outline. A massive leg. A tail. Another leg. A body that felt like a hill, wings like night, a neck rising, a head crowned with ancient power.

A mighty dragon.

I just stared, in total awe, and I reached out with my awareness to feel its intent.

There was no aggression. No threat. It felt at peace. It felt aware of me, like it was simply watching.

Fav could not take another second.

She turned and surged for home, pure instinct. We charged hard. When we reached the gate, I fumbled it in my rush, and a friend opened it for us.

They asked, "What did she see?"

I heard myself answer, "A monster".

I tried to sound normal.

I failed.

AFTERWARDS
Later, when my heart stopped trying to escape through my ribs, I thought, "I've lost the plot". Maybe I was exhausted. Maybe I was working too many hours. Maybe I was seeing things.

Then life did that thing it does, where the next steps arrive and the pieces begin to fit.

Not long after, I met a shamanic woman. She didn't give me the crazy look. She listened calmly, then told me about her dragons.

Then I met another.

And another.

And another.

I learned to journey to the dragons. I met more of them. Slowly, the world got bigger, and somehow it felt more real, not less.

 TODAY
Today, I have journeyed with over 400 dragons, and I know many by name, energy, and presence. I have helped THOUSANDS of people meet theirs through my free course, Meet Your Dragon.

The dragons asked me to give it away for free, so they could find their riders.

Yes, the dragons are looking for their riders.

And as you can imagine, I'm not one for lancing dragons anymore. If I ever meet St George, we may need a serious chat.

YOUR INVITATION
Meet Your Dragon today. The free course is here:

AND TELL ME YOURS
What dragon stories did you have as a child, and where do you stand now? Symbol, spirit, imagination, something real, or something you can't quite name yet?

Cheers
