5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended reading for christians, June 20, 2006
Nicholas de Vere describes a race of beings, similar in many respects to J.R.R. Tolkien's Elves, who were priest kings and queens, ruling by virtue of their bloodline and genetics. They were educated and initiated into sacred knowledge of their origins and kept their bloodline pure by pharaonic marriage customs.
He considers his race as a sub species, with different DNA to the "masses" and this predisposes them to certain attributes, facilitating access to transcendent states of mind. Living in a symbiotic relationship with nature they ruled through a hierarchical system of defined and complementary roles.
He discusses the migration of his peoples from their homeland of Scythia, west into Europe. Using etymological analysis he provides fascinating evidence for the far reaching extent of Scythian influence in Europe and the UK and the source of common origin.
He outlines how the christian church manufactured its religion according to whatever information best served its agenda. The fraudulent Donation of Constantine, written well after the death of Emperor Constantine, empowered the church to appoint kings, thus usurping the right to rule through blood. They systematically eliminated those of the grail dynasty, such as the Merovingians and suppressed their heritage.
He also describes how the church manipulates people through its concept of primitive morality; accentuating polarities by making good synonymous with light, positive and male, and evil synonymous with dark, negative and female. Furthermore, it distanced religion from nature, branding nature as evil. The distancing of god from creation enabled its claim of ownership of the planet.
In addition, it created the concept of sin as a means of control, utilizing guilt against people to keep them compliant and ignorant.
The author gives a highly accurate summation of how people are addicted to the body chemistry of recycled emotions. They are confined by the propensity to think linearly and sequentially and the general entrapment of a mind lost in consumerism and socio-religious programming.
Those of the bloodline worked toward triumph over the personality in order to become an enlightened being. In addition, the author claims they performed specific rituals which utilised menstruum and female ejaculate which further enhanced their transcendent abilities. He insists that this practice maintains their state of being but its effectiveness is only felt by those of this specific DNA.
This is a fascinating book which draws from a wealth of ancient knowledge and was source material for some of Laurence Gardner's books.
Nicholas de Vere states that his race can evolve and reach enlightenment by virtue of their DNA and their traditional rituals. He claims that those not born into this DNA cannot evolve and thus he assumes that his tradition is the only way to reach transcendence.
People who are working towards self mastery are not the product of their endocrine system; their endocrine system is a product of their mind. Mind is always first and body follows mind
Anyone who engages enough will and determination can change and evolve, especially with the help of a master teacher.
If the average human was educated with the knowledge of the author then they would have a different perspective. Considering that we utilize less than 10% of our DNA, we all have the potential for enlightenment.

College Thesis ???, April 14, 2007
I'm not sure what to say to help you decide if this book is for you or not. For me, the answer is NOT! At first glance, The Dragon Legacy appears as a book of non-fiction, but in reality it is FICTION. Being that it is fiction, I would expect some drama or adventure, something to sustain a person while they read through it. But alas, that is not the case. I also don't see what anything in this book has to do with the Holy Grail OR the Dragon Bloodlines; which are the reasons I purchased this book in the first place. I feel like I wasted my money because I didn't get any answers I was looking for.
Nicholas de Vere or Prince Nicholas de Vere as he claims is his real name, writes this story in college thesis format. On that point, it is written very well. However, this isn't a story to me.
This whole book was very disappointing for me. As I have heard stories of the dragon bloodlines since I was a little child and as an adult have been eagerly looking for evidence that relates to the stories. What I do know is that there is definately more than one blood line! Mr. Vere claims there is but one bloodline... and spends the book trying to prove that the bloodline is related to Jesus, the M Kings, the Eygptians, the Druids, the Elves, the Fairies, and of course himself... It's all just a little to off the wall for me.
Well, that's my 2 Cents... it's only my opinion, I'm the first to admit that it doesn't make me right...

5 Stars for Entertainment/Educational Value Only!!!, July 9, 2008
I have to give this book five stars only because it's an excellent illustration of the most incredibly elitist and misanthropic garbage I have ever had the dubious privilege to read. This morbidly fascinating train-wreck of a book cranked out by "HRH Prince Nicholas de Vere von Drakenberg" (aka Tom Weir) should actually be studied so that people understand what De Vere and his vampiric royalist ilk would do to the rest of humanity given half a chance. If you really can't be bothered with poring over 400+ pages of preposterous crackpot opinion shoved into your eyes as arcane history, the objectives and conceptual tone of this book are conveniently and clearly laid out in the introduction by the almost equally awe-inspiring Tracy Twyman. (Tracy, by the way, is the self-ensconced Grand Poobah of "O.L.E.", a most laughable "order" which not only never existed anywhere as a legitimate fraternal body except in her own fevered imagination, but didn't even survive the rigors of three years in cyberspace. How funny is that!?!) For example, on one page we're breathlessly instructed that De Vere's hereditary ancestors once benevolently oversaw a harmonious and perfect caste-ordered society in which "all people worked and lived within their proper station" while, on the next page, we're informed in no uncertain terms that we "degenerate masses" are engaged in nothing but "puerile sentimentalism"... Unless, of course, we would actually care to stipulate to De Vere (and Twyman's) obvious genetic, intellectual, and mystical superiority. Is De Vere REALLY an eccentric genius, as Twyman so boldly claims? I say, 'tis enough to make me spit coffee into my keyboard just pondering the profound possibility!
The inflated and self-aggrandizing "philosophies" (and I use the term in its most imaginative sense) expressed in this book are not only perverse, they're sociopathic, and they're actually quite funny but only because De Vere is such an obvious Loser, and I mean with a capital "L". Poor little Prince Nicky can't even keep his own website up and running. Yes dear reader, his website and Tracy's sycophant "Order" of dragonesque tuchas-lechers are as defunct as the moldy old world imperialism and social Darwinist B.S. they just can't seem to let go of. Haha! But don't you forget that if Little Prince Nick were actually in possession of a fraction of the incredible power, influence, and magical mega-mojo that he claims flows within his very veins, the world would indubitably be in a much more degenerate condition than it already is. As a matter of fact, it is only because of the Great Work and unfathomable sacrifice of a few truly Enlightened men that the world has NOT remained in the state of universal oppression and perpetual serfdom to which "Prince" De Vere so keenly desires it to return. Hey Tommy boy, Go clean the skid marks out of your underpants already, and get a life.
