In alchemy, the mercurial red dragon personifies the chaotic nature of the Prima Materia, which transforms in the Philosopher’s Stone of the Great Work. This dragon sits astride a globe which may symbolize the electromagnetic energies of the planet. Invisible, fluid, yet potent, they are sometimes known as ley lines or dragon lines. These energies show themselves as auroras.
