the fragment from the dead sea scrolls above explain the two dragons, of the night and the day and includes their names and powers. Astrologers will understand them as Tzedeq/Jupiter - "King of righteousness and Shabbatai/Saturn-"King of "Evil"".
The above and left page of text from an aboriginal American creation story sees the original "powers" of creation as different "whirlwind moving crosses" and the Black whirlwind is the one who rules all that is "dark" and deep as the Black water Dragon is the deep feminine waters of birthing. We are now with Rosh Chodesh Shevat and next month Adar/the Jewish new months of Shevat and Adar entering the Asian year of the Black Water Dragon. There are five kinds of dragons in the Asian calendar system and they do have a direct correspondence with the five kinds of root souls in the Hebrew wisdom tradition. The black water Dragon of this developing cycle is about the Nephesh water soul. This does correspond to the "dragon of the haYom/Sea in Hebrew and gnostic wisdom texts. This is a very auspicious time. In the Torah parsha of this week we now have Aaron who brings the first three kinds of plagues to the oppressors, and each involve the water element. Aaron begins the Hebrew priesthood which carries the Nephesh root/water soul. His brother Moshe/Moses carries the Neshamah wood/root soul and their sister Miriam carries the Chayah/Earth root soul. In the asian wisdom these three root souls correspond to the Black Dragon, Wood Dragon and Earth dragon(Nephesh/Neshamah/Chayah). The wisdom traditions and the prayerforms of the great religions have taken active parts in making these elemental powers conscious and awakened.
In the Mayan/aztec calendar teachings the Black Dragon does correspond to the deity called Tezcatlipoca/power of the Night. In a feminine form she appeared in Ancient America as the Black Earth Mother and became the Our lady of Guadalupe to many American Christians of old Mexico. It is a related form of this one who the ancient American elders have said would be revealed to the world in our times as we move out of a purification period between an old cycle and the new dawn of a new world where truth is more easily available. The great scholar of Chicano and Native wisdom,Tony Shearer, in his books told us that when the mask of tezcatlipoca was removed the world would be surprised at who he really is. Tony Shearer had a deep understanding of the wisdom lineages and the awesome nature of our times.
