The Dragon conjures up different things for different people.

Notably a powerful symbol, some Western religions have associated it with evil, although in the East it is highly revered, often seen as a Supreme Being, or a symbol of greatness, nobility and power. In China, Dragons are one of the four sacred creatures said to contain both elements of yin and yang, and represent the coming together of spirit and matter. Dragons are also believed to represent the many obstacles that humans face throughout life that must first be overcome before true happiness and inner peace - or enlightenment - can be attained.
