Trailer | The Legend of Huang Di and the Dragon

A golden dragon descends from heaven. Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, mounts its back and begins to rise beyond the human world. His ministers rush forward, grabbing his robes and clinging to the dragon’s whiskers—but they have not completed the work required to follow him. In this subscriber-only episode, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod examines one of the most enduring legends surrounding Huangdi. He explores the emperor’s four legendary teachers, the possibility that they were different forms of a single shape-shifting dragon, and the ancient connections between cultivation, medicine, sexuality, alchemy, and immortality. The episode also examines the great tripod, the Bow of Wailing, the symbolism of the light body, and the deeper meaning of Huangdi’s departure. A teacher may guide the student, preserve knowledge, and reveal the path—but no one can ascend by borrowing another person’s attainment.
