Concerning Dragons:
“it's simply not an adventure worth telling if there aren't any dragons” a quote attributed to J.R.R. Tolkien
Dragon’s Breath is one of our few beans not named for a specific story or fairytale. While there are dozens of these that could be represented here such as Beowulf, the Epic of Fafnir, or the story of Saint George; the connection to the dragon itself proclaims a much broader idea.
Dragons fire the imaginations of many, but are especially important to young men. Most of the old stories and legends portray them as the ultimate enemy of the hero, including a certain Bilbo Baggins. In John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart he discusses this truth in depth : “There are three desires I find written so deeply into my heart I know now I can no longer disregard them without losing my soul...I search the pages of literature, I listen carefully to many, many men, and I am convinced these desires are universal, a clue into masculinity itself. They may be misplaced, forgotten, or misdirected, but in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.” Eldredge writes that for a beautiful woman, men will storm the castle, slay the dragon–or in modern times, hit a game-winning shot. “A man wants to be the hero to the beauty. Young men going off to war carry a photo of their sweetheart in their wallet” writes the author. What a man really wants is to be a hero to the person he loves.
The Biblical connection in these tales lies within this truth; Man is made in the image of God, and as Moses proclaimed in Exodus 15 “The Lord is a Warrior..” So go conquer your day with a little extra caffeine and the strength of a God who conquers even the fiercest of foes.
