The Great God Pan

The Sovereignty of the Great God Pan may prove too much for you. Fidelity to the One may not be what you want. The predictable complacency of the alleged “Christian” earthly kingdom ruled by “the Lord Jesus Christ”… a kingdom of collective humanity having reached an ethical state of utopia after epochs spent concentrating upon lofty, moral anthropolatry… may be all that you desire as you continue to give your mind, your sweat and your blood to the cause of One United World; to the yet-vain construction of the Tower of Babel. Those who will not go along with the majority are singled out, and then outcast for being antisocial; for being unwilling to support the Great Ideal of Peace On Earth. These ingrates are therefore branded outlaws and then hunted like common thieves. They wander about in sheepskin and goatskin, seeking a better Kingdom; yet the world is not worthy of any one of them.

The Ecstatics of the Sovereignty of Pan have always been treated as self-seeking idealists unwilling to provide good to society. Their greatest danger looms when they are led away from their beloved high places by the wounded hand of Dionysus; when they are activated and deployed into the cities to there show that Love is for every soul, if that soul will but submit to Pan. Those thrown to the lions; those murdered at the altar; those burned at the stake; those hunted down in their heaths like animals… all of these have been the beloved Children of Light and witnesses to the truth of all-conquering Love.

The True Sovereignty of Pan is a terrible truth to the poleis-bound soul, for it is the altogether heathen and unfettered Will of the horrifying Pan, uncontrollable by Man, and viciously inhabited with all manner of wandering soul and creature, nymph and demiurge; solemn alacrity and vivacious restfulness being the intertwined orders of each day, each moment. Howling winds setting fear into your heart; gale forces threatening your dwelling; appalling lightning storms shocking your comfortable place; instinctive conflagrations destroying forest after forest… all of these are symbolic of that stultifying quiet activity ever-present in the Sacred Heart that is at once the Sovereignty of Pan… the Place where those who have been made unafraid rest and work with Him at all times, in day and night, aeon after aeon, world and life without end.

The terror of dark forest; the haunting cry of wolf. This is Pan the Almighty. Do you truly want this? Be sure before you go. The wild gusts bending and shaping that tree, which itself appears repulsive to your eye attuned only to mundane squares and lines of the city, are the breaths of Dionysus the Lord as He moves among all of His creation, remaking us all into instruments of His harmony. You are incessantly invited into exploration of the Vastness of the Great God Pan. But is this what you desire? The Way of the City is utterly foreign to the Eye of Dionysus the Christ.

The Beloved of Pan has no fear of what Man can do to him. His way is secure and manifold in beatitude and the shining glory of righteousness, which is his crown at death and his surety of resurrection into Eternal Life.

–Skadi meic Beorh, 2003

“You are an offence unto me: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “If any will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

“For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

“For what does a man profit, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every one according to his works.”
