Draig-uisge
 
Positive aspects
 
Brings that which is hidden into the light of the day. Memories and wishes, which may have long lain forgotten or repressed in the Unconcscious, may emerge to frighten or overwhelm you with thier apparent negativity or destructiveness. Facing these experiences with compassion and courage will in the end bring you the experience of a greater depth of soul and a greater sense of connectedness to all life. Although you may at times feel overwhelmed with emotion, with time you will be able to achieve a sense of balance and stability, as these strong feelings are integrated in your consciousness.
 
Negative aspects
 
Approach with caution the exploration of your psyche and past. The conscious self can absorb the impact of only a limited amount of repressed or unconscious material being released into awareness. It is wise to work fractionally, little by little, to intergrate unconscious material into consciousness. It is often best for healing and wholeness to be achieved slowly. Beware also of allowing your emotions to rule you in a way that you will later regret.
 
 
 Tradition of the Draig-uisge
 
Just as life is said to have risen from the primal depths of the ocean, so too did the dragon begin its life as the Worm-a large snake or eel-like creature, sometimes horned, that would live in wells or lochs or the sea. Later in the mythological development, the Worm grew wings and two feet and became the Wyvern, finally transforming itself into the fully-fledged Dragon with four feet, larger ribbed wings and barbed tail.
 
Some Worms leave their watery habitats to coil around hills and terrorize the countryside, but others remain in the water and are depicted as sea monsters or water monsters, such as the Loch Ness Monster.
 
Water and in particular its sources was sacred to the Druids, who also considered such places the GATEWAYS to the Under or Otherworld. Since the draig is an otherworld creature it is fitting that it should emerge from such a gateway.
 
In Pyschological terms, water represents the Unconscious and the emergence of monsters or dragons from the sea, well or lake represent unresolved complexes, repressed and distorted drives and desires, welling up into awareness. The destructive water dragon symbolizes perfectly the damagining nature of certain contransmutation that may be depicted as a symbolic death.
 
 Draig-uisge
 
Can overwhelm us with emotion and drown us in sorrow or self pity. But, if befriended, if related to as an ally rather than as an enemy, it can bring passion, compassion, depth of feeling and a true sense of connection to all humanity and the world of nature.
