Pan, Great Hooved and Horned Lord of Dance, Strength and Freedom

The
Horned God inhabits all religions. He is the great father of the wild woods, a
mighty hunter who keeps the balance of life and death imposing its often harsh
repercussions. He is the trickster who causes calamity in hopes of teaching a
much needed lesson, the seductive dancer who stirs the maiden’s first

thoughts of carnality, and finally he is the much recognized “great adversary”
who commands the hosts of Hell.

The
Horned God is all they say he is and more.

He
is as beloved as he is loathed just as he is as essential as he is eternal in
all his forms and functions. Pan

is the dance that emulates the beauty and brutality inherent in the interplay
between life and death and all that stand between the two.

His
dance lures the young boys and girls together. His lewd undulations ignite a
fire in their loins that inspire them to “dance” new life into the world. The
Horned God leaps and flourishes himself menacingly; his dances imitate battle
scenes between young stags, antler to antler, teaching the young men that it is
natural to be aggressive, stand their ground, and defend what is most precious
to them. Lest their homes

be taken and their women and children sold into slavery.

Wine
is crucial at his sabbat. Wine is the blood of life, the grape crushed under
hoof and horn, given freely to all to enjoy and celebrate that most precious
gift called living.

The
Horned God dance honors all seasons, events, and milestones. Pan dances the
hard times and the sorrows just as gracefully as he dances the good times of
peace and plenty. The change of steps in his dance signal each turn made on the
great wheel of time. When someone has come to the end of their life he is there
to dance their departure into the next world and one day soon his provocative
dance will intice another couple to re-birth them back among the living.

Pan
is beauty and strength, light and dark, and life and death impeccably balanced.

Pan
is as old as humanity. Maybe even the first deity. Far older than his Greek
trappings his cult and image are found everywhere, in every culture, and in
every era. We humans, in all that we, our victories, out losses, our love and
our cruelty provide the music for which Pan dances a long with. A master
musician, Pan seamlessly jumps in with his pipes and plays along, adding his
own divine flare and parody of the tune we give him. He is the dancer for the
entire universe and on a microcosmic level he dances for each of our own songs
individually.The whole universe is vibration; Pan is the unquestioned master of
“going with the flow”. Movement is life.

Pan
is a Satyr the anthropomorphized blend of a goat and a man. The term “horny” is
directly linked to the goat. Epimedium is a weed that grows thick and plentiful
in the Mediterranean. Epimedium is a favorite food for goats and sheep that
became known as “Horny goat weed” or “Rowdy Lamb grass”. The tenders of the
flock would watch the increase of sexual activity in their animals after eating
this particular weed and decided to eat some themselves, the results? Pan says
“you are welcome”. Obliviously the weed serves the need... lol :)

Horny
is a word that describes Pan very well. He loves life and all its earthly
gifts. While other religions would have you forego and deny your earthly
connection, Pan suggests that you enjoy your time in the physical world, make
memories, make lasting moments; they are all you can take with you back into
the spirit realm. There is nothing dirty, nothing wrong, or perverse about your
sexuality, or how or whom you decide to enjoy sex with, as long as it is
consensual and they are of age. Controlling people through sexual constraints
opposed by fear, guilt and shame has proven a deadly ploy having caused some of
the worst suffering and exploitation humanity has ever known.

Catholic
monks tucked away in dark abbots guilted and shamed for having sexual thoughts
began to

see women as evil demons that haunted their dreams. In response they launched a
horrific campaign of torture, imprisonment and murder. Thousands and thousands
of women died cruel and twisted deaths, especially in Austria because of this
bizarre notion that sex was unnatural. These times where called the “Witch
Hunts” or as I call the “The Woman’s holocaust”.

I
make no apologies for my words or my views. I believe the long dark tradition
of child molestation in the ranks of the Catholic Church can also be linked to
this black ruse of a belief that a church has any right to the sexual desires
of its followers; it is a system of spiritual enslavement and mind control.
This also includes the heinious act of human trafficking and sexual slavery
alive and well even today and still practiced by the catholic church and
government instututions the world over.

Sex
is how we came into this world and a major reason for being in it. It is at the
root of our

deepest impulses. Beware of anyone or any institution that wants to worm its
way into your sexuality. It will not be for your best interest and explotation
is certain to follow.

Pan’s
connection to sexual desire in men and women is the exact reason he was shaped
into Christianity’s most evil entity. The cloven feet and horns of the “Devil”
were not by accident. Pan inspires wild emotion, stirs deep places inside you
and promotes liberation. Men and women who are proud and strong in their

sexuality are not so willing to be controlled. The shackles of “thou shall not”
don’t go on so easy nor do they tend to stay on. These men and women don’t buy
into the fear these enslaving religions and governments are selling; and when
your business is dependent on subversive and submissive behavior that is a
problem for your profit margins.

These
wild men and women who run off to fuck like animals in the woods, drink wine,
dance, sing and love one another without benefit of a “savior” don’t often show
up for church services. They aren’t going to be there to be conditioned by your
dogma and probably won’t show up to work on time to plow your fields or degrade
themselves as your servant.

Churches
where the first “corporations”. Because Pan doesn’t do well behind a desk and
doesn't let himself get traped under a mountain of inhuman regulations,
Catholic Corp. decided to demonize him and any other deity that stood in direct
defiance to the product of “salvation” they were trying to corner the market
on.

Pan
is the embodiment of freedom and the celebration of life. His goatish lower
body is your connection to the wonders of this world. It connects you to the
fruits and herbs of the land, the ability to travel where you would like to go
and dance to the beat of your own drum. The horns on his head is your ability
to defend

yourself and your chosen way of life.

How
odd is it then that when tyranny rears it’s ugly head, common everyday RIGHTS
of every human like travel, freedom of speech, the right to defend yourself,
what you eat, and your religious activities begin to become “restricted”? Trust
me, it is not on accident. The fact that Pan represents what tyrants hate and
he worship has been targeted again and again is no accident either.

Dancers
around the world are known collectively for one thing; they all have great
legs. They spring, leap, squat and twirl. Great dancers do it with such poise
they make it look effortless; but it truth, it is hard and grueling work.

Pan
as LORD of the dance has the best legs around. They are as nimble as a deer’s,
strong as a bull’s and so full of vigor it saturates his audience.

I
find the link between legs and hormones not at all surprising. Lower body
training stimulates the release of testosterone. Testosterone is vital for
muscular growth, increased bone density, strong tendons, thick ligaments,
emotional stability, sexual function and overall health of the body.

Heavy
leg training increases lung capacity, oxygen intake and usage, enhances blood
circulation and in doing so improves protein intake and assimilation which
causes higher caloric burn.

Focused
leg training creates a sense of “fight or flight” inside the body. You are
conditioning yourself to

endure and think critically under both physical strain and mental duress. Leg
training is painful and generally all over uncomfortable. It develops a hard
spiritual will in those who stick with it. Because all cowardice is based in
fear of fatigue, heavy leg training improves your cardiovascular abilities and

therefore gives you courage. The courage to fight against the encroachments of
your freedoms and liberties with the leg strength to stomp it’s skull in.

This
is something tyrannical Governments and Churches dislike.

Dictators
prefer you to soft of body, limp willed and weak of mind. This keeps you
dependent on them, validates their continued existence and justifies the
indignities they commit against you. The “Nanny” state in order to “serve and
protect you” can now slitter its tentacles into your home, work, health, school
and family… little by little at first and then one day you are completely at
its mercy. No longer does the

state serve you, you are now a slave to the state, a fat, weak and fearful
slave far too pathetic to speak out and the chains of indenturtude too heavy to
try and resist.

Pan
can never be chained or hunted down. He legs are too powerful, his sexual drive
too strong and his mind to quick. Pan asks that you develop you self into a
human how loves liberty, sees the direct link between their sexuality and
health and demands freedom of speech, the right to defend one’s self, the right
to eat un-poisoned food, to drink clean water and worship as you chose. To STOP
living in fear, stop feeling guilty about what is only natural and human and to
never accept that someone other than you could own you or decide what is best
for you.

Pan
says that he grows tired of tyranny’s song and dance and his ready to celebrate
the liberation of all humanity.
