This book is so fitting, considering we are in the year of the dragon. I have worked with Dragons for a while now, yet I always read any information I find on them. I am always learning. I am so thankful to Llewellyn for allowing me the chance to review this book.

Walk with Dragons through the Wheel of the Year
This powerful and enlightening guide shows you how to connect to dragons and practice magick with them throughout the year. Virginia Chandler introduces you to legendary dragon spirits that are integral to the eight sabbats, from Samhain’s ancestor dragons to Beltane’s dragons of making. Your practice will soar to new heights as you join them on a journey through the seasons, exploring meditations, sacred sites, rituals, oil and incense recipes, and more.
Year of the Magickal Dragon empowers all areas of your life by showing you how to work with dragon energy. Each chapter guides you in building relationships with these marvelous dragons and learning their specialties. As you walk with them, you’ll balance your home and hearth, invigorate your spirit, overcome barriers, and gather your personal harvest. This hands-on book also features journaling prompts, altar work, and extensive dragon lore, making it a must-have resource for your practice.
Includes a foreword by John Matthews, author of The Grail: Quest for Eternal Life
As I mentioned above, I was really excited to read this book. Draconic practices are not as widespread as Wicca’s. Those who practice often keep their practice close, only sharing with those they trust most. There is also a lot of misinformation regarding Dragons out in the world.
This was a refreshing book, bringing the Wheel of the Year into a Dragon-focused approach. If you enjoy celebrating the seasons or Sabbats of the year and work with dragons, this is absolutely worth the read. Chandler takes us through each Sabbat and discusses Dragons and Locations associated with it and provides an oil and incense recipe. The author is very well-informed and gives excellent information regarding specific dragons.
An easy-to-read format and writing style, this book is excellent for those new to Dragons or those who have worked with them for years. I will use an adapted version of the Spring Equinox ritual for Ostara when it arrives. Always remember to do what feels right to you. This is enforced by the author when they discuss altars. They recommend setting up your elementals in the direction of your personal location. For example, I have a Great Lake north of where I live, so I will be using water for the representation of the north on my altar.
Do not take this book for granted; it may be small, but it is very useful and now has a vital place in my pagan bookshelf.
