Book Review: Dragons of The Deep, Origins & Lore

Thursday, September 10, 2026 3:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Dragons are the most iconic of fantastic creatures, found in mythology and folktales all over the world. A new book, Dragons of The Deep, takes a dive into these stories. It examines the ways in which these giant reptiles have symbolised everything from danger to protection, from harm to healing, and of course magic and power.

Author Dave Stone explores various theories about why dragons are so ubiquitous in legends and lore, despite never having existed except in human imagination and mysticism.

Here’s the synopsis from publisher Moon Books’ website:

“Dragons of The Deep investigates dragon myths and legends from Ireland, Scotland and across the globe, seeking to untangle their mythological threads. Seeding folkloric tales and ancient myths with a wealth of information, this book details various dragon cults, revealing that serpent and dragon worship were indistinguishable but follow similar tropes wherever they’re found, proposing that the dragon is, perhaps, most iconically linked to the worship of water and, in turn with ancient animist worldviews. Dragons of The Deep addresses the reasons the dragon motif, as a uniting motif, speaks to us – not only as people borne by different tribal movements but also as a common humanity – exploring its relevance in today’s fast-paced, changing world.”

This is a well researched and thought-provoking book about ancient mysteries and the wisdom. Dave Stone ends by pointing out that nowadays the dragon has become a symbol of the Earth and the environment. We can tap into that power to bring about magical change.
