Dragons of The Deep investigates dragon myths and legends from Ireland, Scotland and across the globe, seeking to untangle their mythological threads. Seeding folkloric tales and ancient myths with a wealth of information, this book details various dragon cults, revealing that serpent and dragon worship were indistinguishable but follow similar tropes wherever they’re found, proposing that the dragon is, perhaps, most iconically linked to the worship of water and, in turn with ancient animist worldviews. Dragons of The Deep addresses the reasons the dragon motif, as a uniting motif, speaks to us – not only as people borne by different tribal movements but also as a common humanity – exploring its relevance in today’s fast-paced, changing world.

Dave Stone – Since the 2003 I’ve run a small craft business carving stone. In this time I have researched the historical and mythological subject matter from which I take my inspiration (Celtic, Norse, Old Europe). I have a humble following of 49.9 K on Instagram @stonemadcrafts, where I promote my stoneware and sell my creations on Etsy. For a year now I have been writing weekly articles on a Substack page, in order to siphon some of that traffic towards my writing. I’ve also self-published a book about Celtic Gods and Goddesses (2023) and Faeries of the Celtic Realms (April 2026).
