Like each and every Dragon’s Breath Talsiman welded in my metal shop, the one you are holding in your hand is a unique marriage of steel, copper, bronze, inspiration and Dragon Fire Mystery.

For thousands of years, in diverse historical and cultural settings, talismans -- placed on the doorways and portals of private homes and public gathering places – have been empowered by their creators to draw blessing, protection, good fortune and powerful healing to all who enter and abide therein.

Arising from our primal human instincts and evolving through the ancient traditions to our present day mythos, we have come to know that the breath of the dragon holds the quintessential essence of dragon magic. Dragons’ breath purifies, energizes and balances the Feng Shui of physical space. It conquers fear and establishes benevolence, intelligence, and goodwill. And it favors love.

The artistic alchemy of transmuting metal and mindfulness brings great chi to this Talisman. I feel gratitude each time I lift my torch to make one and I trust you will feel gratitude each time you pass through its placement.

Place it upon your doorway at eye level and appreciate the power and blessing it imbues to you and yours. Touching it with a slight bow as you pass by this Talisman is an old Chinese custom; making up your own ritual can be fun and meaningful.
