I’ve had a few disturbed nights lately, disturbed because my guides whom I call Upstairs, have been coming in while I slept to give me information. When this happens, I know, that if I do not write it down it will disappear. So, the act of taking my phone and writing a note wakes me up good and proper. Thankfully, the information is never boring. And this particular information was particularly interesting. It was about the red dragons, those people who are born with dragon energy, or at least the seed of red dragon energy, designed to be awoken at some later point in their lives.

This is what I heard:

“Red Dragons are like punks – but punks with a purpose”.

I was a teenager in the seventies, but never a punk. It was too aggressive for me. I preferred the hippy movement, all love and peace, probably because I didn’t have much of either of those two things. But I had friends who were punks. Rebel girls, anti-establishment girls, who wanted to be free to be themselves. They did what all punks did, they pierced their bodies, did their hair in wild mohawk hairstyles, wore black, ripped clothing held together by safety pins, and dog collar chokers around their necks. They were breaking away from the stereotype of what it meant to be female in Seventies’ Ireland.

It was a highly creative time, a breaking out and bursting forth of powerful energy, of new musical styles and new ways of thinking. The punks were expressing their anger, breaking the ties that bound them to old ways of doing things, old rules that no longer made any sense. They were chaos fighting the ‘natural order’.

The Red Dragons are the punks of old, but their breaking down of old ideas, and old ways of doing things, has a higher purpose, a Soul Purpose.

In 2016, whilst still living in Luxor, I received some channelling which was a complete surprise to me, and I will admit, set up some resistance in me. It was about the Dragon Children. There were so many books about the crystal children, the indigos, etc., that I really didn’t want to add to the mix ( a constant resistance on my part!). I had also gone from believing in these ‘new children’, to not believing in them, until one of my granddaughters was born and I was told she was a crystal child. I groaned because I really didn’t want to believe it! Upstairs knew I didn’t believe it and now I was being presented with the proof. I’m sure they thought it was very funny. I didn’t!

So when I received the information about the Dragon children, I groaned even louder and put the writing away until I could see how it worked out for myself. Here is what they said:

21 October 2016. Dragon Children.

This life you live, this narrative you write, is about to change for the better. No more will the forces of creation be held in the hands of the few. Now it is time for the Dragons of old to awaken, and to play their part in the awakening of mankind. This time has been awaited for many years.

The attributes of the dragon are thus: kindness, consideration, the ability to think within the group mind and to effect the Whole. They learn fast, think on their feet and have a great sense of the injustice around them. They are strong, resilient, and have a deep and abiding desire to change their environment for the better.

These children are born knowing the mountains they must climb, and so are born strong, unlike other children around them who may be more acquiescent. The Dragon children are the creators of new modes of thinking and being in the world. They play a very positive role in assisting their less capable brothers and sisters to manage the challenges of change which they are helping to instigate.

As a Dragon child, you fulfilled this role, protecting the weak and the vulnerable, even when your own traumas meant that your sense of self-care was damaged. This is often the way for the Dragon children.

Here in Africa, an influx of such children is necessary as change comes on a global scale, and all are offered assistance.

As a teenager, you witnessed what could happen when dysfunctional adults stalled the growth of the Dragons, through their own fear of change. And so you will see it again, all around you. But do not interfere, just add your ‘adult’ Dragon energy to theirs and their own ‘scales’ will then protect them. They will know intuitively that you are kin, even though they do not understand it intellectually. But that is of no matter, it is the inner light which needs to grow as they make their own way in this world.

I find some of this very interesting (It did take a while!).

Because dragon energy is creation-energy the more dragons there are in the world the more change can happen. I imagine each dragon has his/her own gifts of change to bring to the world, but I find it interesting that they are also therefore in a position to help the people affected by the changes. But are they doing this energetically, like I did, by anchoring layers of energy to affected places? These energies create change but also protect those living around them.

The part about Africa made sense too, even though, if you tell an Egyptian they live in Africa, they will deny it vehemently. Yet, Egypt is on the African Continent, not including the part that is in Sinai. When I lived in Egypt, I often found myself planting etheric dragon eggs in family member’s homes. The first time it happened, I was in my sister-in-law’s house. She had only been married a couple of weeks, but I anchored a dragon egg there. I did not choose to do this, it just happened when I was there and I went along with it, observing ti, not knowing what the purpose of outcome would be.

I knew the dragon egg was going to be a child, but what I found interesting was that each time I anchored one of these eggs, the child was a girl. A girl who was bright, lively and awake. Even if she was twin to a brother, and there were a few of those, the girl was always different. You could see it in her eyes. The twin brother was like an asleep child, totally different, and I knew it was because the girl was a dragon-egg child, because I had anchored the egg there on a previous visit, before she was conceived. This happened a number of times, so eventually I knew what would happen each time one was anchored.

But punks, and with a purpose? The Red Dragon is a physical creator, a breaker of rules. They have to be free to find their direction in life, to follow their purpose. They will go unrecognised in their family, and may often be considered the black sheep – which is ironic, when you think about it. They learn the hard way and often are the victims of abuse in their early years or will have experienced another trauma, perhaps the loss of a parent or sibling. Part of the Red Dragon’s learning in this life is to experience difficulty and then heal from that experience. This learning becomes their gift of healing to the world.

They are born into places going through changes, or they may spend parts of their lives in places in need of change. Because they are connected to the healing of the collective unconscious they are often in situations where their own healing helps the healing of those around them. They flow with the currents of that society and as they heal their own matching wounds, they heal the wounds of all. It is not an easy path, but the Red Dragons are born with that purpose.

If this sounds like you then you know why you are the way you are. Dragon people will have had an interest/fascination with dragons since they were young. Myself? Anne McCaffrey and her Dragons of Pern were an early love, and I spent many hours drawing the covers of her books, mainly in history class while doing my A-Levels (In Ireland known as the Leaving cert). They were more real to me than Henry VIII, and I really wanted to live on Pern. Little did I know those books were awakening my own dragon nature, the part of me that had chosen to come into this life with a dragon purpose, even if I did not recognise that at the time. The books acted as ‘soul-reminders’ reminding me of who I was, on some deep, level, and why I was here. It also gave me the strength to continue.

Dragons are perceived as dangerous, maurauding, eaters of humans. And they are, symbolically, because they bring change that most do not want, but which is supremely necessary.

The Red Dragons are like cosmic cleaners, sweeping away the dust of the past on the layer of the earth’s energy field in which they are most effective. Their role is to cleanse, to heal, to refresh. Yet try to imagine it from a simpler perspective. You are in someone else’s house and are tasked with cleaning it. In the process of cleaning, you expose the dust under the carpets, the skeletons in the closet, and the children in the attic. You bring them to the attention of the owners, thinking you are doing a great job, but they are enraged. They did not hire you to show them all their faults, to show them their failures, to hold up a mirror to their bad behaviour! They employed you to clean the surfaces, to make it all look clean and presentable for others to see. But, being a Red dragon, you cannot ignore it. If it is there, and hidden, you need to expose it and clean it away. You feel how wrong it is.

Your angry employer dismisses you. You are showing them too much and are blamed for creating the mess. As a young dragon, you might have believed them, and carried that blame for a long time, right into adulthood. But eventually, you learn that it is not your mess and through intense healing, you release it – albeit slowly – if you are given the opportunity.

It can be a heavy burden to carry and many Red Dragons may experience abusive relationships, getting clear on the dynamics of abuse, so that they too can be released and cleared. But the clearing means experiencing. You are learning all the time, learning how it works and how to let it go, cleaning the psychic debris in the ‘collective’ house, leaving the astral level clearer of damaging beliefs and emotional patterns and healing family patterns in the process.

Red Dragons are born every few centuries. Humans leave a lot of psychic debris and it all needs clearing periodically, and while we are clearing that we are clearing our own. It introduces new thinking into existing cultures and smashes through crystallised ways of being; seeding new ones for the benefit of future generations A Red Dragon’s life is is rarely easy, but when it reaches a certain point, it knows who it is and then will begin to clear the layers with conscious intention, and with dedication – no matter how painful. Not many will recognise their sacrifice to humanity and may label them as dysfucntional, co-dependedent, etc. But they have a plan, and a purpose, and that is all that matters.

When your Red Dragon Self wants you to wake up to it, it will make itself known to you. It will appear during meditations, or during attunements, or through healing received from others. It might show up in myriad ways, but it will show up.

When it does, listen to what it has to say, or watch what is shows you. It is telling you it is time.
