Norwegian House Dragons We think of Western dragons as winged, fire-breathing monsters -- like those we find carved on the beams of buildings and Viking ships. Yet in Scandinavian folklore, the stories are filled with small, benevolent dragons. The Norwegian countryside is where you’ll find tales of House Dragons. The earliest known references to them date from 1547, and they maintain their place in the beliefs of many today. Often described as little, serene dragons, they generally live behind the main stove or the hearth in a barn or cottage. Feeding on gifts from the homeowner of milk, flour, corn or hay -- in return, the dragons bring good luck and wealth to the household. Once the dragon adopts (or is adopted by) a household, its primary goal in life is to increase the household’s wealth, enacting a sort of hoarding behavior by proxy. It will fetch milk, corn, or money for its master, though these are usually stolen from other households. A dragon can move into a home by one of several means. Some are hatched from the seven-year-old eggs of cocks, or might be found and unwittingly brought home. Once a dragon takes up residence, however, it is nearly impossible to chase off. If you have a house dragon in your home, treat it well. Surely it will bring you great fortune (though it may be at the expense of your neighbors)! | | |
