Io Pan! Io Pan Pan! Pan! Io Pan!HYMN TO PANThere have been several noteworthy Invocations to Pan, (the Arcadian God of hills, woods and protective deity of flocks, herdsman and hunters) in literature. The most celebrated is probably Hymn to Pan by Aleister Crowley but this wonderful and passionate magical poem is rarely used by Wiccans because of its Thelemic context. Crowley's invocation was probably influenced by Keats' Hymn To Pan (which some consider the best of his poetical works). In turn Keats is said to have been been enthused by Ben Jonson's little-known 17 Century poem 'Pan's Anniversary' which we reproduce below as a fine and sympathetic invocation suitable for use in solo or group worship by neo-pagans everywhere.

If you've swallowed the corrupt verson of Paganism hawked by some New Age Apologists this book will open your eyes.... Fed up at finding the hypocrisy of the Orthodox religions replicated in Wicca? Hoped for something better? Then you mustn't miss the GENUINE GUIDE TO PAGANISM, Wicca, Witchcraft, ShamanismDid you know that Marabas says the brand of paganism you will find in most of the popular Wicca books published today is a world away from genuine, original paganism? He maintains that the gods are unhappy that the genuine teachings of the Craft are being obscured by well-meaning fools who adopt impressive titles to mislead sincere seekers. But people need not be held back by them. Now read the truth about genuine Paganism, as Marabas sees it; compiled by one of Britain's most revered Shamans. This trustworthy Guide has been developed to convey the purpose and practice of Genuine Paganism to serious beginners and early students. Cutting through the contradictions of much of Modern Paganism / Wicca (and avoiding the many pitfalls and delusions Marabas insists they spawn) this excellent work by Frater Marabas reveals the closely guarded secrets of the Real Pagan Path. We believe it opens the gateway to genuine witchcraft and discusses the really initiated stuff New Age Apologists will never tell you. The facts you may be ignorant of - until you read this amazing book! It puts most everything into perspective at last. Worth its weight in gold to beginners and serious Seekers alike it could save you precious time and disillusionment. Published in collaboration with the Sub Culture Alternatives Freedom Foundation this essential guide will dramatically aid your personal Pagan Quest this no-nonsense book is only available direct from the S.A.

DISCLAIMER: Along with five billion other souls on this planet we believe in Transmogrification
(magic), and Transubstantiation (life in spirit). About 85% of the world's population believe in
the world of spirit. Only 7% of the world's population are
atheists (scientific materialists) but these few people have a disproportionate influence over
the way we live because the government relies heavily on these Scientific Soothsayers
of the State to provide justification for their decisions. This disclaimer is to comply with the
prejudiced demands of this lobby and should be seen as such.
When we infer on these webpages that something is successful
for a particular purpose we mean that traditionally it has been held by sages to be successful for that
purpose or/and that historically it is reputed to work in a novel, legendary or peculiar way
to succeed with that purpose, or/and that people alive today have tried and recommended the
item as being successful or helping to a lesser or greater degree for that purpose and
therefore it may be worth trying. In most instances we will have tested, experienced and
confirmed the effects ourselves but we freely admit that these items may not work in every
instance or may work in lesser ways than the examples quoted. We offer them out for historic
and curiosity value only as untested objects of pleasance. All use and application of these
items and information should be seen as experimental. Magical effects cannot be proven nor guaranteed.
We have personally used and sold items like these for over three decades and our experience
is positive - however in order to make an informed choice you should be aware that science
disagrees about the existence of magical forces and effects and insists that other mundane
actors will be working to cause the success experienced if any. Intending purchasers should

REASONABLE RISK: Advice; Personal Consultations; Recommendations for Applications: Marabas has an unparalleled grasp of esoteric methods worldwide but he is not a god - he cannot indemnify customers from risk. Only you know your exact circumstances, your medical history, state of health and the progression of the problem so far. Only you can judge whether it is in your interests to apply magic in your life. If you ask us how a magician might resolve a problem then Marabas will tell you but in our eyes magic is a force used to modify the course of destiny and can cause peripheral changes which are not anticipated therefore all magical operations are by qualification inherently experimental. Our products are genuine, contain proper materials and most importantly are designed with adept knowledge of magical method. You cannot get a better chance of successfully experimenting with magic but be under no illusion - it is an experiment undertaken entirely at your own risk. The S.A. offers raw materials and literature for curiosity's sake only. Marabas's historical knowledge is given if asked. Under present law Marabas cannot 'prescribe' magical actions or cures; we suggest only what an adept might do in your place. To recapitulate: We are not selling you the magic 'cure', though it may very well turn out that way. We are providing the opportunity to experiment with genuine magical methods to open up new doors in your life. We can tell you how others have changed their lives and how you might choose to do it for yourself but you are responsible for your own experiments. We cannot indemnify people from the repercussions of foolishness but we will sincerely do everything we can to ensure your genuine success and this will be the limit of our liability. Marabas's suggestions will always comply with U.K. law but if you are unsure whether a suggestion might breach local laws or regulations then you should consult your legal advisor before ordering. Clients must be cognizant that all Magic and ritual work is experimental and therefore undertaken by them at their own inception and at their own risk. We provide all reasonable warnings and protections for our clients but cannot be held responsible for applications of their own invention of which we are uninformed. We will readily offer our opinion on the advisability of proposed applications of our products without charge. We expect the typical customer to be reasonably fit and healthy. If you are significantly unwell, subject to allergies, are taking a course of treatment, are pregnant, a registered drug addict, have a history of chronic ailments or are undergoing psychiatric help then it is your responsibility to clear your intentions with your doctor and alert us before you embark upon a purchase. . |
