From the Book

King of Staffs

A scaly-winged dragon coils around the base of a flaming staff. His crown is formed naturally by his scales; he has crowned himself.

Tarot wisdom: Our primitive animal passions are the source of our life energy. They must not be vilified. The dragon coiled around the staff is synonymous with the kundalini force, a serpent-like energy which coils at the base of the spine and is the source of psychic power. This is a card of inner strength. It tells us that we have energy in reserve.

Thinking about this a bit more, and not doing any research on alchemical dragons (which seem to be important and not feared--not much seems to be feared by alchemists), has led me to think that dragons seem to be related to knowledge.

In the card the dragon is guarding the knowledge of fire.

Not just any fire -- but the inner fire....
