The Drinking Dragon of Durdle Door: A Call to Be Seen and Heard
This morning, as I often do—especially when I feel stuck or too much in my head—the dragons called.
They always do when I need to reconnect with the land, my heart, and the magic that lives just beyond the veil. Today, they guided me to the Jurassic South Coast, not too far from where I live, to a place I’ve visited many times: Durdle Door.
Doorways, trees, and water wells were all seen as portals to the Otherworld in Celtic times, and as I stood before this natural archway, I suddenly remembered something I'd only recently heard… that locals refer to this formation as The Drinking Dragon.
It immediately stirred a memory: just last summer on the Isle of Man, I had a dream where I was told to “find the drinking dragon on the island.” My sister and aunt joined me for a spontaneous adventure to search the island hills and woe and behold - we did find a dragon! We also stumbled upon a stone circle where I received a powerful Lemurian light activation. (You can read more about that in this blog).
And now here I was, standing before a second drinking dragon and feeling like this might be the beginning of a dragon treasure hunt…
I leaned against what felt like one of the dragon’s great feet and tuned in to her spirit. The connection came quickly and with emotion.
She whispered:
“I’m tired of being seen as just a doorway. I want to be known and remembered as the dragon I truly am.”
She no longer feared being misunderstood or demonised. She was ready and secure to be authentically seen and heard for who she really is: The Drinking Dragon.
As it happened, this day was also Imbolc. A time of quickening, new beginnings, and honouring the flame of Brigid. I wanted to thank the dragon for the information instantly downloaded that would help me & others on their journey, so I created a simple beach mandala from the natural elements I found nearby: seaweed, shells, feathers, and stones. An offering from my heart to hers.
Her words echoed deeply: "I want to be seen and heard."
And it made me think...
🗣️ How Often Do You Feel Misunderstood in Your Work?
As a healer, lightworker, or starseed, have you ever felt like you're too much? Or not enough?
Have you kept parts of your truth quiet because you feared being misunderstood, judged, or called crazy?
I know I have. I’ve tiptoed. I’ve doubted.
But honestly, it’s been the dragons, these wise, ancient guardians, who’ve helped me reclaim my voice and power.
Even writing that might sound a little “out there”... but if you’re still reading this, you probably know what I mean.
We’re being asked to rise now.
Not with force, but with authentic presence.
To share our gifts.
To let ourselves be seen.
To shine brighter, not for attention, but to be of true service.
🔥 2024: The Year of Being Seen
This year—the Year of the Wood Dragon—is about creation, visibility, and grounded transformation.
If you feel the pull to embody more of your authentic self, to speak your truth, to work with dragon allies and feminine wisdom...
Then you’re already on the path.
In the Shamanic Dragon Priestess Path, we walk the Sophianic Spiral of the Dragon Rose together.
We work with dragons, elemental energy, ceremony, and soul remembrance to activate psychic gifts, release fears, and align with our natural magic.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being real, rooted, and radiant.
If you’d like to walk alongside me and the dragons, I invite you to:
👉 Join the Soulful Wisdom Academy Library to be the first to know when the Dragon Codes open again.
You’ll also receive the February Energy Update audio, where I share how this journey supports the Wood Dragon frequency of 2024.
With love,
