Supplies:Pentacle disk; Dragon pentacle; water chalice with a little fresh water in it; dish of salt; wine chalice; black (left) and white (right) altar candles; sword; wand; incense burner; appropiate incense; dragon's blood and mugwort; dragon mirror; gong or bell; staff; paper and pen to write down any messages.
Use the Basic Dragon Ritual up to the insertion point of necessary chants for specific Spellworkings. Hold the sword in power hand and staff in the other while standing facing the altar and tap the staff three times on the floor while holding the sword pointed at the Dragon Pentacle. Chant in tones that vibrate body:
Come Draconis! By Your All-consuming Breath,I summon you. (tap staff three times)By Your Piercing Gaze, I Summon You (tap staff three times)By Your Mighty Strength, I Summon You (tap staff three times)By Your Wisdom Ancient and Cunning, I Summon You (tap staff three times)By Your Magick Deep and Old, I Summon You (tap staff three times)Come, Draconis, To My Call!
Once done summoning the Dragons it will be possible to feel power being sent from all directions by the half-seen Dragons. Listen for any messages the dragons may have. The Dragons' presence can be felt by a sudden temperature change, prickly feeling between the shoulder blades,unusual currents of air, and other phenomena. If the Dragons are pleased with the Magician they often sound a deep vibrating rumble, almost like a Giant Cat's Purr.
To Contact A Companion Dragon
by Kerowyn J'Karrah SilverDrake, 1994
This meditation ritual should be started on the first night of the waxing moon, when the first crescent is visible. It should be repeated every night until the full moon, by which time you should feel the presence of your new friend. If you do not, don't be alarmed. Wait until the next waxing period and begin again. If you still have no success, it is possible that you are not attuned to dragons, but may instead be attuned to another species (i.e. unicorns, gargoyles, gryphons, wyverns, etc.) If that is the case, simply change the word "dragon" to that of the species you wish to contact instead. Also remember that though this ritual is loosely designed from a Pagan perspective, it can (and should) be easily modified to accommodate any belief structure.
Also, feel free to modify this ritual in whatever way seems best for you.
Not all of the items mentioned *have* to be used... or even used at all.
As with many things in magic, all that is required is the Will to succeed.
Needed Items:
1) One red candle
2) Cinnamon Incense
3) Friendship potion
4) One dragon (or appropriate species) figurine or statue
Perform normal circle casting ritual
Step 1. Inscribe the candle with the following runes, while concentrating on your desire to contact a Dragon companion:
Meaning of the Runes:
1) Uruz: to draw new situations into your life
2) Eolh: to promote friendships
3) Gifu: to promote positive partnerships
4) Fehu: to send energy out into the formative spheres
Step 2. Anoint the candle with the potion and chant 3 times:
Dragons of power, Dragons of Light,
Dragons of wisdom, Dragons of Might,
Lend me your magic; lend me your aid,
Lend me your guidance as this spell is made!
Step 3. Replace the candle in its holder and light. Then light the incense and say:
I give this fire and this incense in offering to all of Dragonkind, may you consider me worthy of your companionship.
Step 4. Pick up the dragon figurine and pass it carefully through the candle flame and the incense smoke and say:
This sacred fire and this holy incense drive out all
Unwanted influences, both positive and negative, in
This figure leaving it clean and pure.
Anoint the figure with a few drops of the friendship potion and say:
I draw the blessings of Dragonkind upon this
Figure, that it may be a worthy dwelling for
The Dragon who chooses to honor me with its Friendship.
Step 5. Place the figure on the altar and say:
In the name of all that is good and just, I ask a boon of Dragonkind. If there is one among you who finds me worthy and of Promise, accept this token of my friendship. And I offer my bond that should you choose to share your knowledge with me, I will Treasure it as a precious gift, of greater value than gold. Your companionship I will cherish second
to none. For the rest of my life I will work to bring an understanding of Dragons
back to the world. Of your magic, this I will use for the betterment of my family, friends, and world, and to protect and defend those who cannot do so themselves when it is right and proper to do so. This I pledge on my life and honor.
Step 6. Meditate on you desire for companionship. Concentrating on the honor and reverence you have for Dragonkind (or appropriate species) for several minutes. Let the candle burn its self out. If this is not possible, let it burn for at least an hour before extinguishing. Replace the candle with another when it is used up.
After you have made contact, don't be concerned if you have trouble communicating in words with your friend. For many people this ability takes time to develop. Generally, communication from your friend to you begins empathetically: "feeling" their presence; getting an impression of their emotional responses to your questions, comments, or actions (i.e. agreement, disagreement, approval/yes or disapproval/no...), or you may "see" image translations of actions and such. Don't get discouraged, but continue to talk to them as you would any other friend. Like learning a new language, you will begin to develop the ability to "hear" and understand them in your mind as you would learn to understand another language.
**Note: this ability is easier to develop if you believe that telepathy with another species is possible. Otherwise you will never learn how. And even if you don't ever get to the point of verbal communication with your new friend, don't worry. You will develop an efficient satisfying means of communication.
To Call your Companion Dragon

I would first like to point out that a specific, formal Call is not necessary to invite you Dragon friend(s) to join you in a worship rite, to ask their assistance with a spell, or just visit. All you really need to do is mentally call to them in genuine love and friendship and they will hear you and they will come. But sometimes it is nice to have a formal Call that can be used for special occasions and ceremonies. And if you are having trouble hearing *them* the more you work magically with them the stronger your connections will be and the easier it will be to communicate with them. So here is a special call you can use:
Meditate for a moment on contacting your Dragon and then say:
I send my Call, I send my voice To the Dragon, who by Choice Shares with to me his/her friendship true I send my love back out to you! Come my friend upon swift wing So together we may sing! Come and share some time with me In trust and love, so mote it be!
