About the author
Virginia Chandler writes on dragon lore and magical practice for Llewellyn Publications. Her books "Year of the Magickal Dragon" (2021) and "Seeking Dragons: Connecting to Dragon Energy & Magick" organize dragon mythology around the Wheel of the Year and the eight sabbats of contemporary Pagan practice, introducing dragon figures associated with each seasonal point, from Samhain onward, and offering spells, rituals, and correspondences for working with them. The books treat dragons as spirit allies within a modern Pagan and witchcraft framework rather than as folkloric curiosities, building a structured, calendar-based system that readers can follow across a full year of practice. They are aimed at readers already working within witchcraft or Pagan traditions who want to add a dragon-focused thread to established sabbat and seasonal practice, rather than newcomers to Pagan ritual generally.
