VERITIES is an Open Access Journal. One key request of researchers across the world is unrestricted access to research publications. Open access gives a worldwide audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal and thus increases the visibility and impact of published work. It also enhances indexing, retrieval power and eliminates the need for permissions to reproduce and distribute content with credited "fair use". Verities is fully committed to the Open Access Initiative and provides free access to all articles as soon as they are published.
Learning Objectives:
Discovery, Awakening, Integration, Implimentation
1. To compare traditional, contemporary and dragonkin thinking about
symbols, myths and themes and their place in the dragon heritage;
2. To analyze the creation, use and misuse (exploitation; coercion) of symbols in cultural and personal life;
3. To create symbolic meaning and describe its impact on individuals and culture;
4. To describe symbolic processes and expression in individual and group transformation;
5. To critique new conceptualizations of our historical symbols and the creation of symbolic meaning.

The Art & Science of Perfume Alchemy
SPIRIT IN A BOTTLE, by Iona Miller, 2011
Optimize Thinking * Improve Memory, Concentration & Creativity * Activate Higher Consciousness
ETHEREAL SPIRITS: The history of fragrances is as old as old as the history of humanity. Who knows when the first person noticed they could rub a pleasant scent onto their skin to good effect? Ancient recipes can evoke mystic even ancestral memories from the cauldron of the unconscious, temporarily transporting us to by-gone times. As essence, perfumery is intimately related to alchemy with its primary process of distillation of gross materials into fine. Fragrant oils, some of which survived millennia in their ancient bottles, are among the most cherished items ever produced by mankind.
WISDOM ART: Perfumery is an olfactory art form -- a Tantric and Hermetic art. When it is personalized in a signature scent, and used for balancing the personality, it adds another dimension of pleasure to life -- one that is shared with others. Naturally, organic perfumes best replicate the essence of by-gone eras. Pure organic scents are naturally the most attractive and inspiring, and work best with the body's chemistry.

Issue 6 - KINdling
http://drakenberg.weebly.com/verities-6-kindling.html
"KINdling" is a possible mechanism for 'soul retrieval' in the dragon lines and an alternative mechanism for the mutual stimulation of gene expression in psychosocial genomics. Soul Retrieval is part of our Journey to Wholeness and quest for self-knowledge. It refers to shamanic practices that reintegrate various interpretations of the soul that might have become disconnected, trapped or lost through trauma -- loss of vitality and connection to life. KINdling is renewal of life force.
Soul Retrieval opens the door to self realization as Soul. From a shamanic point of view, part of the soul may split off, or dissociate, when we experience trauma or abuse. Soul loss is a spiritual illness that causes emotional and physical disease. We need to be re-tuned, recalibrated from the deepest level of our being - from the Source Field where our patterns remain intact, undisturbed and self-organizing. The lost soul has been found, retrieved, and revitalized. Many report that even nonlocal contact with dragon kin spontaneously reawakens a new energy or level of vitality in themselves. Such spontaneous phenomena can be called "KINdling."

EXPERIMENTAL METAPHYSICS
Soul Travel, Gnosis & Metaphysical Knowledge
Primordial Serpents: Cosmic Strings, DNA, to Vortex Portals
Drakenberg is a transformative imperative that challenges conventional beliefs about the nature of reality. We take our world to be an objective reality, but is it? The assumption that the physical world exists in and of itself has struggled to assimilate the findings of modern physics for some time now. For example, an objective space and time would just "be", but in relativity, space contracts and time dilates. Likewise objective "things" should just inherently exist, but the entities of quantum theory are probability of existence smears, that spread, tunnel, superpose and entangle in physically impossible ways.
Cosmology tells us that our entire physical universe just "popped up", from nowhere, about 14 billion years ago. This is not how an objectively real world should behave! We are therefore forced to entertain the notion that we inhabit a "virtuality". This notion echoes unconventional subquantal or zero-point physics, Gnostic ideas about the Plenum and ancient Vedic concepts, such as maya that explore the ultimate nature of consciouness and matter.

Issue 8: Dark Night

The unknown author of an ancient Egyptian scroll known as the Berlin hieratic papyrus 3024, lived more than 4,000 years ago when that country was in an unsettled state, with erosion of ethical values and uncertainty for the future. From the papyrus, it seems the author faced a decision between two philosophies or paths: one involving the inner life of the individual and the other, contending with it, focused upon a hedonist enjoyment of the present with no thought of the future or a life beyond the immediate pursuit of pleasure.
Ours is a cautionary tale to not allow the Dragon to devour you alive. We can draw on the ancient Light of Egypt to understand the problem and its solution better. The transformative process can proceed through initiations or stall out to the detmiment of the individual who fails to reach full potential, sometimes due to circumstances beyond their control. The choice is simple, you can serve the dragon or it will eat you.
Each era has its version of the same malady. In the Arthurian legends, this was the "sickness unto death", the never-healing wound. When the King suffered, so did the Kingdom. The King embodies the whole situation, symbolically and actually. If he is spiritually impoverished, so is the kingdom. This is the black hole of depression, but depression that conceals deeper meaning.
