Nurtures
Dragon is the first seal, the seed of being. It carries the energy of primal birth, nurturing, and ancestral memory, the mother force that feeds, protects, and holds space for new life to take form. Dragon energy is patient and unconditional. It gives before it is asked, and it remembers what came before any of us.
