The Archetype of the Shadow

[Michael Falcone]

Hi Michael and welcome. How did you get into "ritual work" and what do you mean by that? Do you do martial arts? Can you explain the meaning of Mhondoro? I'm guessing a witch doctor of some sort?

It's very difficult and usually unwise to try to interpret dreams publicly - and I'm no good at that anyway. This is work that usually benefits from a one on one and face to face and trustworthy basis, I think. I do note that there seem to be a lot of "dragons" in your dreams. Unkillable dragons, man dragons and water dragons. I don't know what this means but you might consider reflecting on these dragons and ask yourself why dragons feature so heavily in your psyche. For example, have you in the past involved yourself in Dungeons and Dragons digital games or role play? Anyway, I'm sure you'll find an answer if you dig deep enough and reflect well on the question.

As a starting point you might find some interesting pickings about dragon on the following links: 1, 2, 3.

Thanks for the links, David.

Dragons were never really part of my life in any way, that I can remember.
I got involved through a combination of contacting a white South African diviner, dream and symbol work. I worked with a man named Mandaza... (mandaza.org). A mhondoro is a spirit medium of the Shona people; the Shona having the lion as their totem. He teaches at Linda Tucker's academy at the White Lion project. In that vein, I noticed this from the first link:
"And that of course is the case here; the dragon ought to be fought by the lion."
Linda Tucker's book (if I remember correctly) devotes an entire chapter to Christ being known as "the Lion of Judah." And she talks about Buddha being equated with the lion.

Mandaza made sure to pay attention to my dreams and the other man that was visiting with him as well....but I don't have anyone like that around right now. I agree a lot of this work is best left to such one on one care.
