Online Study #1: The Lady & the Dragon ...an exploration of folklore from olden days and from popular
culture of our time, first presented at the C.G.Jung Institute of Los Angeles in July, 2005.

In stories of the Lady and the Dragon, old and new, girls and women are often thought to picture the 'feminine principle'--relational or yin energy. And dragons, as Carl Jung wrote, are one of many images of the powerful forces of the unconscious. This study will explore these two energies and their varied relationships, from:
to
Ladies who identify with the dragon (thereby turning into Dragon Ladies--oh no!)
to
Ladies who partner and befriend dragons...safely.
Thus, the lore of ladies and dragons can be read as a developmental process in the psyches of both men and women...for within, we all have the feminine energy, as well as a dragon or two or three. We can find ourselves in such tales.
Pre-requisite: A delight in soul-tending (fireproof armor unnecessary).
