#maelstrom
Noun
[meyl-struhm ]
1. a large, powerful, or violent whirlpool.
2. a restless, disordered, or tumultuous state of affairs:
the maelstrom of early morning traffic.
3.(initial capital letter) a famous hazardous whirlpool off the NW coast of Norway.
Origin:
Maelstrom comes from an early Dutch proper noun that is a combination of the verb malen (“to grind”) and the noun stroom (“stream”). The original Maelstrom, now known as the Moskstraumen, is a channel located off the northwest coast of Norway that has dangerous tidal currents and has been popularized among English speakers by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Jules Verne (whose writing was widely translated from French) in stories exaggerating the Maelstrom’s tempestuousness and transforming it into a whirling vortex. Maelstrom entered English in the 16th century and was soon applied more generally in reference to any powerful whirlpool. By the mid-19th century, it was being applied figuratively to things or situations resembling such maelstroms in turbulence or confusion.
“There is that might-have-been which is the single rock we cling to above the maelstrom of unbearable reality.”
- William Faulkner

Dragons are very reserved and private creatures that do not like disclosing information about themselves, especially when someone is sharing this information without permission. Dragon and Draconic Magick both incorporate dragons into their workings. The key difference is Dragon Magick is working with the dragons directly, and Draconic Magic is working primarily with the symbolism, draconic aspects, and the overall virtues of these incredibly fierce beings.
Dragons are primal and fundamental beings, recognizing nine elements throughout their presence. These nine elements are extraordinarily linked to them in every manner. These nine elements are Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Spirit, Dark, Light, Storm, and Chaos.
Each of the nine dragon elements have a primary ruler, who thrives in each element and oversees all dragons of aforementioned element. There are also Planetary, Sabbat, Metallic, Fae, and Aspect dragons, all of which still fall under the authority of their corresponding elemental leader.
The Elemental Ruler Dragons prefer to be called their respective elements and will sometimes share private names with colleagues. When a bond is created you can ask for a name if desired, although they vary, or may not give you a title at all.
