The History of Dragons Around the World
Description
It's episode 110 and KT is bringing her deep love of dragons to the Smoke Circle! While you might think dragons are more likely to be found in fantasy novels and mythology books than in the pages of history, KT explores the cultural significance of dragons across various civilizations, touching on creation myths and the role of dragons in both chaos and order.
We'll be talking about the rich symbolism and cultural significance of dragons across different civilizations, particularly contrasting Eastern and Western perspectives as well as how dragons are perceived as benevolent forces in Eastern cultures, while in the West, they often symbolize greed and destruction. So join us for a fun adventure (maybe we'll meet Puff the Magic Dragon along the way?? Wiiiiiink!)
