€18.50
Explores the importance of dragon and serpent energies and symbols from prehistory to the present around the world.
Revealing how dragons and serpents are deeply embedded in the story of humankind and the Earth itself, from prehistory to the present, Stefan Broennle takes us on a journey through the myths, legends, symbols, and geomantic powers of dragons in different cultures around the world. He shows how the ancient image of the dragon and the serpent are closely connected with each other. He explains how dragons are archetypes of the elemental force of the Earth, while the serpent, which can change its skin and regenerate, carries the elemental force of rebirth and is also connected to the Earth through its relationship with the feminine. Looking at lore from Europe and Asia, he shows how in Christian cultures, dragons and serpents were often connected to dark and evil forces whereas in Asia the dragon is considered the bearer of culture, the founder of countries, or even the primal father of the people.
The author examines ancient pictorial representations of dragons on buildings and in paintings, interpreting their different forms and unveiling their hidden meanings. Illuminating the meanings of dragons in geomantic symbolism, he explains the differences between dragon paths, soul paths, and ley lines, which form an energetic network all over the globe. He shows how our ancestors recognized the dragon-earth energies of these energetic lines and identified them with dragon place names or sculptures at precise geographical points. He explains how dragon portals can be opened through geomantic work and includes a powerful exercise to awaken the dragon energies within you and connect more deeply to the Earth.
Presenting a gateway into the ancient power of dragons, this book reveals how reconnecting with the archetypal Earth energies of dragons and serpents is crucial not only for our individual growth and transformation but also for the fate of humanity and the Earth during our present times of great change.

Stefan Broennle is a geomantic consultant and engi- neer. He studied landscape ecology at the Technical University of Munich and has been providing con- sultancy and design services for interior and exterior spaces since 1993.
His focus is not simply on incorporating physical radiesthesia but also, more importantly, on the con- crete spiritual relationship between person and place, which is supported through ritual practices and shaped and structured by the energetic power of rocks (lithoenergy), water (hydroenergy), and plants (phytoenergy).
Since 1994 he has been a course leader and lecturer, first for HAGIA CHORA and now for INANA school of geomancy, both of which he co-founded. He has held a lectureship at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University since 2011.
He has also trained in Qi Gong, Taijiquan, radiesthesia, technical remote viewing (TRV), and focusing. He lives in Germany and is pas- sionate about bringing together the physical and spiritual aspects of geomancy.
