The Circle of the Dragon is now celebrating its Tenth Anniversary!
The Dragon Species section has been updated, specifically for Taniwha and a new species has been added, Marakihau. New entries have been added he bibliography.
8 April 2010 - In keeping with the new layout changes and new structure, the Dragon Slayers section has been revamped, allowing for more space for each slayer. In that route, a new entry for Saint Margaret has been added along with an updated entry for Saint George, including photographs taken on my recent trip to London. The Bibliography has also been updated.

4 April 2010 - In celebration of The Circle of the Dragon's Tenth Birthday, I've commissioned some new graphics commissioned from Donna Quinn have been added to Dragon Species section. Check out the updated entries for Palulukon, Pa Snake, Peist, Puk, and Taniwha. The Dragon Species page is now under the new footnote style, which lists each reference only once.
I have also added two new Interactive pages, one for Dragon and Fantasy Fonts and the other for Coming Soon..., articles and updates in the works. I also updated my Autobiography.
In different parts of the world, the word dragon carries different connotation. Some claim the creature is an evil being sent by the Great Evil to harm mankind. Others tell tales about benevolent dragons who sacrificed themselves to save humans or human friends. Both disaster and bounty have followed in their wakes.
In the modern world, dragons have spread as a wild fire; both through the internet and through books, they've grown. Out of all the creatures in mythology, the dragon is one of the most present. Where did this creature come from? Why do so many mythologies tell the tale of at least one dragon? These mysteries have yet to be explained.
This site is here to help you unlock the mystery of the dragon, and I hope it can be informative as well as entertaining. I have now grouped the information for easier reading. Simply select one of the ten sections that you wish to visit...
