This book is dedicated to
all those who are searching for the key
that will open the door
to their true destiny.

The spiritual imagery of Dragonflame is markedly hybrida unique admixture of philosophy, magic, folklore, and metaphysics. Through innovative and carefully calibrated rituals, exercises, and other devotional practices, Leo offers readers profound tools of personal transformation. Dragonflame is thus a book that radically empowers its readers to seek new heights.

Marlene Hennessy, PhD

This magical guide to meditation is deeply spiritual and purposefully eclectic. Dragonflame is creatively executed and brilliantly written in a style that will win the hearts of the novice and adept alike. Leo has found a way to gracefully marry psychology and the universal language of the psyche.

Expect the unexpected from this stylish and magical self-help book. A series of guided meditations includes reflections on astrology, Qabalah, alchemy, and the tarot. Each chapter brings the reader more deeply into self-awareness.

Dragonflame resists any attempt to be described in simple terms. It is at once a grimoire and a guide for self-empowerment. Its heart is a series of meditations. They include ritual magic, astrology, and the tarot, all of which lead the reader on the most important of journeys: the journey within. A must-read!

Someone once told me that if you can see yourself doing what you want in your mind, then you can do it in real life. Some years later, I came to understand that statement as one of the hermetic axioms: as above, so below. Another way of saying it is this: If you can visualize a goal strongly enough in your mind, then it will manifest on the earth plane in one way or anotherbut it has to be done correctly. It must be a complete formula utilizing the following ingredients: Goal, Purpose, and Sacrifice. Otherwise the magic will not work. Dragonflame is the instruction manual that will teach you how to follow the complete formula successfully.

Buried deep within each one of us lies a treasure. It is our mission in this lifetime to find this treasure, but its exact location is known only by the dragon that guards it. Ready and willing to guide you to your true destiny, the dragon waits only for you to call. This dragon has been known by many names throughout the ages: the Philosophers Stone (the Stone), the Triple Goddess, kundalini, chi, the Green Man, and IAO (Isis, Apophis, Osiris) are just a few. It is the embodiment of a magical philosophy of birth, death, and rebirth, or goal, sacrifice, and purpose. Harnessing this power is the key to continued success in all avenues of your life. I have simplified this magical philosophy through a talisman I have named Dragonflame. Understanding the Dragonflame gives you a new and powerful way to work magic to achieve deep spiritual transformation and to manifest your desires in a karmically correct fashion.

The dragon I am introducing you to is a holy and regal creature; it is an aspect of Nature already residing within you. Its parts are very much like those of a horse or unicorn, making it tame enough to ride. Think how much easier it would be to traverse your inner landscapes on the back of such a potent force, using its power to know yourself and expand your consciousness. Learning its parts is the first step to calling forth its magic.

Dragonflames anatomy comprises three main parts: a unicorns horn, a horses body, and a lions tail. For each part, you will find a corresponding chapter in this book () containing four sections and four exercises, visualizations, or rituals, as follows:

Philosophical explanation and matching exercise

Astrological explanation and matching exercise

Tarot association and matching exercise

Alchemical explanation and matching exercise

focus on three of the 12 astrological signs and their corresponding elements: Virgo/Earth, Scorpio/Water, and Leo/Fire. (I have purposely left out the remaining nine in order to simplify an otherwise complex magical formula.) Dragonflames core element is fire. Although the element of air is taken into consideration, where the concepts of transformation and transmutation are concerned, the element of fire almost always takes center stage.

There is also a section called Enhancements for the Advanced Student at the end of certain exercises, with helpful information for the serious student or aspiring magician. Most of the information in the Enhancements sections focuses on the moon phases and the Qabalistic Tree of Life, a contemporary form of the Hebraic tradition outlining the creation of the universe on both a microcosmic (visible) and macrocosmic (invisible) level. It is designed as a reference to guide the advanced student in further studies and research.

In order to fully utilize Dragonflames potential, take your time following the exercises for each chapter and do not proceed with the next exercise until you feel confident that you have mastered the one before it.

Once you understand Dragonflames anatomy, your training becomes more involved. will help deepen your connection with Dragonflames energies by activating them through initiation and by teaching you how to make and consecrate a Dragonflame talisman. You will be led through several meditations and thought-provoking questions to deepen your relationship with Dragonflame and help your subconscious mind become more attuned to its vibratory level.
