"In a world with few certainties, the White Dragon Flag of the English people underlines our kinship with the past. It tells us from where we came and who we are. It imparts a sense of permanence and continuity. It is defining. Unlike St George's Cross, The White Dragon has no dubious religious connections or background unrelated to fact."
"Red dragons descend from a red-gold dragon who is about one thousand years of age. They are the symbol for the West, and are much like black dragons. They can cause storms in the skies when they fight.
White dragons come from white-gold dragons of a thousand years of age. They symbolize the South. White is the Chinese color of mourning, and these dragons are a sign of death (which the Chinese did NOT deem evil)."
"The white dragon in alchemy is symbolic of the Distillation operation when paired with a red dragon. These two together represent the rising and falling action of the actual distillation process. Distillation represents Mercury, both in the symbolic aspects of the liquid metal as well as the god archetype of Mercury.
Mercury is seen essentially as life or spirit. In god form, Mercury is the trickster and represents a dual nature; really all duality. Life and death, good and evil, etc."
