I will be honest, I clicked on this video for something to laugh at. What I found, cross-referenced, and learned surprised me right into excitement and a sort of relieved joy. Serpent/dragon imagery was associated with healing as well as wrath, preservation/protection as well as war and bloodshed. It seems to depend on how each culture lived with their dragons/serpents that dictated how they were viewed and what they were associated with. In the modern serpent/dragon faiths that keep this...open-endedness (which are almost all personal paths rather than organized religions), much of the varied associations/aspects of our ancestors' relation with the creatures seems to be returning as though these proud creatures dislike being stuffed into the boxes and labels of another species. I, myself, left the Abrahamic faith I was raised in when I was a teenager, because it was no longer correct for me. I've lived with dragons, magic, mystery, and genuine joy as part of my life ever since. Part of me misses the carefree wonder that was my religion-flavored childhood. You've given me ideas on where to wander to explore that wonder with the eyes of an adult without just tossing away the mindful joy I've learned to cultivate since then. I'm going to poke around a little more before I lose myself in your rabbit hole again. Tyvm for sharing it with us! :-)
