This came to my mind after doing some research about dragon magick and I have been thinking to myself and I wanted to ask this. How do you contact your dragon guide? I remember talking this over with Wolf and he said you have to meditate, I forgot what else he actually said, but I also feel a bit worried because I keep thinking I might screw up. I know you should not call dragons just for them to "entertain" you because they have no time for that.
I know I need to try to meditate, but I haven't done it in a long time, I also felt like when I did which was about.. a few or so years ago, that it just didn't work. Yeah I am not really the most active type when it comes to this.

Re: Dragon Guide
How do you contact your dragon guide?
As in how do you instigate? Not a clue! Mine showed up and introduced himself ^_^;;; And then I as the brunt of his sardonic humour.
I wouldn’t say I have a Dragon Guide as such, but I know the few around me show themselves when I am worried or need some guidance.
And because I always like to question myself, I try and ground myself and make sure im not going off with the fairies (so to speak).
Although now days if I see one wandering down the hallway and turn into the kitchen to just vanish, I turn to my partner and say, that was a big one.
I know how you feel about pestering them, I too have not wanted to bother them but I do have a great passion for dragons.
I know I have one or two that tease my dog, poor guy. And as a puppy he had a real issue with sharing space with me and them.
I guess I started with writing, visualising from images I have collected online of dragons, then opening up my mind to accepting them. Reading about them and understanding the differences
If I ever call on them, its when I truly need there strength and support. – for example I didn’t like the plane landing when arriving in Bangkok on holiday.. I called for a dragon to keep me safe while landing, as the plane was lurching around just before landing, and I was getting a little scared. A small dragon sat between my legs and I just focused on him to keep me calm.. after landing (bad me) I questioned my sanity..
And just as I sat back thinking to myself did I just do that, when past my window, the letters appeared, D,, R,, A,, G,, O,, N..
I plastered my face to the window..
There was a plane passing us on the run way called Dragon, I didn’t even know there was an airline called that.. although it dose make sense.
I know some would say just a coincidence and yes it was, but it came just when I asked for a sign.. and it humbled me.
Other times its within my dreams, I have very detailed and long dreams. Some have shown me temples and given me many puzzles to do.
Im still learning and trying to understand this connection I have. I enjoy it when i can.
With a hectic work life, and life lessons, I cant focus all my time I need to find out more, I just take small steps when I can, and try not to offend when I meet them.
I hope this has helped a little.

My guide is a golden Asian style dragon. Feirce and protective of me. I meditated on it for several days, and when my Karate instructor told me to "fine the Dragon within, the power within." It all clicked. My guide was a dragon, and when I got home to my bedroom I looked around. I had forgotten how much dragon based art I had in my room, little statues and picture galor. I don't really call my guide, so much as when I need him, he is me. Like just under my skin there are golden scales that shine brighting, and fire in my blood. Only when I need him, mostly we "fuse" when I fight like at Karate. He is the warrior spirit in me, keeping my relexes sharp and my mind focused... He is me, and I in turn embody my Dragon guide. Thats is all, yet it is so much.
This is old,but it's ood to see dragons being discussed again though.I have 'the spirit of Kaos' in dragon form tattooed on my calf,she's a big old ugly beast, quite magnificent.[by she I mean he,by he I mean it,it is she and round and round we go.lol]
My Dragon is Nidhogg...........[ exerpt from shadowlight]
The dragon of darkness comes flying there,
Bright snake from the world below.
Deep within the earth, in the misty nætherworld of Nifelheim, lies the great dragon Nidhogg. It lies, coiled around the well of Hvergelmir, from which all the waters in the world flow, and chews on the roots of the World Tree, so that it constantly dies and is reborn. The dragons attention wavers only when it stops to gorge itself upon the corporeal remains of the dead (for its name means corpse swallower, or the lower one), and to hear the pronouncements of Wyrd when the volva speaks.
Nidhogg is the chthonic counterpart of the aquatic serpent Iormungand, but unlike her, and all preceding Rökkr beings, the origins of Nidhogg are totally obscure. The dragon, like the World Tree on which it chews, appears to have arisen out of Wyrd itself, having no creation, no creator. Suggesting at least that they both began their existence so remotely in the subconscious that they have gone beyond the need for any explanation. Certainly, Nidhogg has gone beyond the need for definition. It is beyond gender, it is neither feminine, nor masculine, but not like the undivided lunar nature of Hela, or the androgynous solar nature of Loki. Instead, its nature is so incomprehensible, so chaotic, that it is simply beyond any such definition.
Consequently the element associated with Nidhogg is Chaos, and a total summation of its nature, while the corresponding planetary sphere is the chaotic Saturn. Nidhogg is, further, represented by the traditional constellation of Draconis, as it winds its way around the North Pole, just as Nidhogg is coiled around the axis of the world tree.
In classical astral mythology, Draconis represented the dragon Ladon, the guardian of the Hesperidean golden apples. Ladon lay coiled around the tree of immortality which bore them in the western garden of the goddess; just as the serpent imparted wisdom from a tree in the biblical garden of Eden. Ladon was greatly loved by the goddess Hera, which is why she placed him in the stars after he was killed by Heracles. The same is also true of Hela (Hera's Norse counterpart as a mother goddess) and Nidhogg. A sense of this can be glimpsed in the way that the dragon is also entwined around the polar constellation of The Lady's Wagon (Ursa Minor), representing the goddess in her maternal aspect. The dragon constellation is circumpolar, meaning that it never sets above 30° degrees latitude, suggesting the eternal nature of the great dragon.
Nidhogg is in continual, and torrid, communication with an eagle that sits amongst the highest branches of Heldrasil, the World Tree. Ratatosk (branch-borer) the squirrel runs up and down, back and forth, along the tree, exchanging insults and gossip between the dragon and the eagle, hoping to stir up trouble between the two. Ratatosk plays the same role as Loki does amongst the gods, causing trouble between powerful forces, but, at the same time, communicating between hel and heaven, and, thus, assisting the flow of the kozmos, and the flow of Wyrd.
Although Nidhogg's constant chewing on the roots of the World Tree will eventually shake it to its core at Ragnarok, and although it is a force of absolute chaos, the dragon still performs a pivotal role in Northern, and Rökkr magick. The dragon is an embodiment and expression of the geomantic energies that run throughout the earth, and in particular along ley-lines, and at the sacred megalithic sites that populate western and northern Europe. These earth energies are often regarded as dragon energies, because like the dragon, their power is forceful, almost unknowable, and resides deep within the earth and in stones. One of the most famous of such places is the so-called Saint Michael's line, which runs directly through a number of dragon-related sites in lower England.
These energies are known as wouivre, and although related to Nidhogg, they are the serpentine energies of the Goddess in Her draconian manifestation. The wouivre are akin to the eastern concept of the Kundalini, which is raised up through the body, altering personal patterns of energy, matter, and spirit. The figure of the labyrinth, as an actual, physical design, mirrors the subterranean or acausal fields of dragon labyrinthine energy that exist within the earth. The process of travelling around a microkozmic labyrinth in a meditative state, evokes the macrokozmic energies, and induces a change of consciousness, and perception. As the literal form of the labyrinth mirrors the acausal, so the acausal form mirrors the labyrinth that exists as the human mind. When one evokes the energy of the acausal labyrinth, the dragon energies in the nexion that is the mind, are similarly activated.
To invoke the wouivre, through the walking of a labyrinth, the labyrinth used need not be a traditional, or established one - although the years of existence will induce a greater sense of the Eternal. For where ever a new labyrinth is laid out, the wouivre are drawn towards it, and the ond and Wyrd of the site will be both increased and enriched.
The vast axis of Heldrasil is a macrokozmic representation of the human spine. So just as Nidhogg, gnawing on the roots of the tree, sends its energies reverberating throughout the the trunk and branches, and to every berry and seed, so too, when wouivre energies are awaken at the base of the spine, they rise up through the body and impact through out it.
Perhaps one of the best explanations of the nature of Nidhogg is found in the alchemical allegories known as the Aurelia Occulta, from the Theatrum Chemicum, which declares: "I am the old dragon, found everywhere on the globe of the earth, father and mother, young and old, very strong and very weak, death and resurrection, visible and invisible, hard and soft; I descend into the earth and ascend to the heavens, I am the highest and the lowest, the lightest and the heaviest; often the order of nature is reversed in me, as regards colour, number, weight and measure; I contain the light of nature; I am dark and light; I come forth from heaven and earth; I am known and yet do not exist at all; by virtue of the sun's rays all colours shine in me and all metals"

Hmmmm....
My best advise 4 u is to collect a huge amount of dragon pictures....decide which 7 u like best, then which 5 from those...then which 3 from those...then, whichever 1 u like best is a great way to meditate.
In otherwords, your favorite is probably the best way to contact the Spirit involved. Take this one...and use your Dragon Tarot...I know u already have this deck...I just feel it...then lay the cards in whatever array over the picture...odds are, you'll get your message from this spirit.
Once you have it, this spirit may guide you to choose another form which is better suited...it doesn't matter, at least you will have made contact.
