A good friend and I were treasure hunting in an oddities store when we each
found a “Red Dragon.” Read my flash fiction story “Gunnhilde’s Redoubt”
to see my connection to a “Red Dragon.”
The discovery felt lucky, so we both bought a dragon. My friend named hers
“Vita,” which means “Life.” I haven’t named mine yet. That can wait until she
is joined by two more sister dragons … bringing the total to the lucky number
three. Hosting only one dragon felt like a lonely number … I bought two more
“paperweight”-sized dragons to keep the original dragon company.
I learned that the “feng shui dragon is a powerful and auspicious traditional
feng shui cure… a pearl or crystal in the dragon’s claw symbolizes wealth,
power, and an abundance of opportunities.” In addition, “the Dragon is
regarded as one of the most fortunate and sacred figures in Chinese folklore.
It reputedly has absolute power and symbolizes honor, power, and all that is
right in the world.”
One of the other pieces "has the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle.
Turtle is a creature that can live up to several thousand years. It symbolizes
longevity. The dragon symbolizes career success and courage. It is sitting
on a base of ingot and gold coins to represent prosperity and wealth. One
little baby turtle on the back also represents good beginning ..."
