The Red Dragon – Look&See

• In Welsh mythology, the red dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) is a powerful symbol of strength, victory, and national identity. The dragon represents the forces of good, and its red color signifies passion, power, and determination. It is famously featured in the prophecy of Merlin, where the red dragon defeats the white dragon, symbolising the triumph of the Welsh people.
• In Norse mythology, Fafnir was a dwarf who transformed into a dragon after greed consumed him. Fafnir is often depicted with fiery red scales, symbolising his lust for gold and the destructive power of greed. His dragon form represents both physical strength and the dangerous nature of avarice, while the red color underscores the fiery, intense nature of his curse.
• In Chinese mythology, the red dragon is a symbol of power, authority, and good fortune. It is often associated with the Emperor, who was considered to be the earthly manifestation of the dragon. The red dragon’s color symbolises prosperity, strength, and the connection between the heavens and the earth, with red also representing good luck and celebration.
