Dragon Questions

I have another idea that I can't prove - about dragons.

All my focus, all my so called research this year has been about Slavic mythology.  I focused on the Berehynia, the central figure in goddess embroideries.  I tried to figure out what the embroidery patterns meant.  I got really interested in the Sun Shallop, one of the common designs in folk embroidery and other arts.

So, who pulls the Sun Shallop through the sky?  Could there be sun horses, or dragons pulling the sled?  I thought about the painting of St. Margaret - is the dragon her pet?  And why was it biting her cloak?  There are so many questions, and I don't have the technology to translate yet.  I'm struggling with a lack of time, or lack of ambition.

I imagined the dragon as St. Margaret's friend, a terrible creature who might represent the future...  Then her son, Jarilo (aka St. George) kills the dragon - everybody always knew the dragon was bad, right...  But what if he kills the bad things in our future?  That would line up well with the rest of the apotropaic folk traditions.  Plus, if you had 2 dragons, one could be good and the other bad...

So, I felt like saying that I have a new explanation for dragons.  I don't have the whole answer, so no point getting excited about it yet.  I have a feeling that we could uncover a connection between dragons, simargyls, and the Willies (sirens, alkonost and gamyun.)  But I'd like to do this work with somebody.  I'd like to share.  Can you please leave me a message if you are interested in helping find the answers?

Two headed eagles from heraldry come into this somewhere, also.  I think the 2-headed eagle is another way to represent the creature who pulls the Sun Shallop... maybe.
