"Myths are not artistic embellishments, fairy stories men make up to amuse themselves and their fellows; they are the very heart and brain, as it were, of the social organism, necessary for its survival -- as that particular society." The Manufacture of Madness, (p.121)
Remember all the stories and films you've read and seen with the main character, the 'hero', attacking dragons, and killing dragons? Has this propaganda made you view dragons, reptiles, as bad? If so don't be so hasty, for Monica Sjoo liberatingly informs us, in her book, 'The Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon?', the mythological dragons represent from the Goddess earth-centred perspective ~are~ the Goddess and are protecting nature, as well as guardians of Trees of Life which connect life and death!
We have thus been indoctrinated, watching and reading and imbibing about how 'Mr hero/saint/god destroys the Dragon', thereby being conditioned to accept the 'hero's' inheritors legacy of excuses and actions for their continuing to destroy Earth. Of course by 'destroy' I don't mean as in the end of Earth as a planet, but more so the continuance of the attack on the quality of life for all, and the threat to the human species -- following in a long line of other species who have been made extinct which continues.
