Where does your fascination for dragons really?
(...) Of course I had dragon since my youth fascinated because I was an avid reader of literature, which had to do with legends, myths and legends. Schwab's most beautiful legends of classical antiquity, the Germanic gods and heroes and, of course, the Iliad and the Odyssey, to name a few. And since dragons are of course always do so.
How to become a dragon expert?
Dragons research is becoming a complex affair, and Dragon expert requires quite simply universal interests that require what is called in modern times, a scholar, a versatile well-read and informed. (...) In the history of culture-oriented researchers dragon, the dragon is not the starting point, but the result and expression of cultural and historical processes. And so the dragon linguistic research questions are as much as the study of social organization, function and development of ideologies, literary analysis and source criticism, art and art history, archeology and knowledge of their methods and much, much more. A little of what there is so behind a cultural and historical research all dragon is certainly under my next book with the almost programmatic title "Andre times, other dragons are guessable.
coming soon still hang out another book from you. Can you tell us anything about it?
nothing better than this I had already indicated above, then it constitutes a small fiction book on the cultural history of the dragon and say, Andre times, another Dragon. (...) In this book from the series of small cultural stories I span the range from the creation of the Western dragon idea in the Near East and their social and cultural importance in Europe over a period of not less than 10,000 years ago until today. It starts with the Dragons edged divine right of the Babylonian creation and ends with the very streamlined the dragon fantasy of our time.
is now of course the religious question: Is there really dragons?
is for many people will hang, either as biological beings in the form of the Komodo dragons in the Galapagos Islands or the dinosaurs, either as inner cosmic power of an esoteric doctrine, either as an archetype of depth psychology. For me, the dragon exists exclusively as a cultural-historical phenomenon, a real concept of the model complex natural and social processes.
