Hematite Dragon
There is little knowledge of this dragon. I only discovered it recently when in a meditation
I decended down deep in the earth. Going deeper and deeper I entered a dark cavern. When I could see clearly I was shocked
to find the most beautiful silvery black Dragon. It was male and very old. His wings were set close to his
body and the bony structure was silver. His neck was shorter then most dragons and legs smaller in front then in back. He
has 4 toes on each foot. He had two large horns and down his back was silver. His head was blunt at top and a sort of rounded
snout. He is a heavy dragon and solid looking as if he could not fly for the heftiness of him. It was the scales that
caught my eye. The silvery black sheen was that of the crystal stone Hematite. I knew at once I was looking upon a rare
and ancient dragon.
This dragon lives in the depths of valcanos and deep in iron rich mountains.
His breath is fire.
His Element is: FIRE
Has the characteristics of the Hematite cystal.(see below for discription of hematite)
This dragon is my spirit guide. He helps me with the physic realm and gives me protection.
He offers healing energy and guides me to what I need to know or do. He is a bit gruff at times but it is only when
I fail to see what he is trying to tell me. He speaks to my mind with thoughts and images.
My spirit guide in the past has been a man. Dark and mysterious. black hair and beard and wearing
all black with Chain Mail of a silvery color. I now wonder if that was the human form of the Hematite dragon and
has now decided I am worthy of his natural form. It seems to connect the dots finally. I believe
this dragon may only appear to those who can go into deep meditations.
I am learning more from him as time goes on and hope to have more on this dragon.
Hematite Crystal
I feel it is important to know the aspects of Hematite to understand what this dragon does. I
now use hematite when I go into meditation for I feel as if I am touching this mighty dragon and the connection is stronger.
History: Hematite is silver-gray metallic, which is an iron ore (iron oxide Fe2O3). Found in the
US, Brazil, and Canada. Hematite is derived from the Greek word meaning "blood". In soft powder or sedimentary form, this
crystal is called "red ocher". Egyptians used hematite to calm hysteria and anxiety and was used for amulets. Roman soldiers
wore it for protection. The Chinese see hematite as being more Yang in nature. Native Americans used red ochre for ceremonies
and for war paint.

Since the color is a silvery black it takes on the characteristic of both silver and black.
Black is the most misunderstood color. A black tie dinner is very formal and elegant. Women can wear that "must have little
black dress" to the black tie dinner. Yet the bad guys wear black hats. Black symbolizes death in some cultures. Native Americans
thought black was good because it was the color of soil, which gives life.
Black is not a color, strictly speaking. It is the absence of all color. When people speak of opposites,
it is usually in terms of black and white. Black, and its opposite white, represent polarities. Black absorbs all aspects
of light. While white reveals, black conceals. It has come to mean hidden, fearful or bad experience. It is linked to the
unknown or the unseen.
