The Red Dragon symbolises the sovereignty of Britain, and is the totemic beast of the greatest line of kings, the Pen-dragons.Dragons and serpents of the Celtic religion symbolise earth energies
- the dragon lines - potent forces of the land, which polarise into positive and negative roles. The Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) is derived from the Great Red Serpent that once represented the old Welsh God Dewi, also associated with Wales's mythical patron saint David.
There is a legend that the British tyrant King Vortigern, who some say brought the Saxons to overrun Britain, was attempting to build a fortified tower - thought to be the hillfort of Dinas Emrys (the city of Emrys) in Snowdonia, Wales. But the building was unstable, and the structure kept falling down.   A young boy was brought to be sacrificed in an attempt to save the Tower. However, the young Emrys had powers of prophecy - and he saw that two dragons, one red and one white, were fighting in an underground pool below the weak foundations. Vortigern was afraid, and listened to the boy, who lived - some say to become Myrddin (Merlin) the wiseman.
Emrys prophesied that the red dragon would slay the white dragon,
and the Saxons would be driven from Britain.
Y Ddraig Goch Ddyry Cychwyn - “The Red Dragon will rise again”.
