THE DRAGON

The dragon is present in the mythology of various cultures, both Eastern and Western, but with different symbolism.

In China, dragons are associated with good luck and prosperity. They are considered protectors and are also associated with the myth of creation.

However, in the West, the dragon is often a dual symbol. The first dragons of European mythology were divine or magical beings, powerful guardians of treasures. However, they were later associated with dark, unknown and even negative realities.
