The Oracle Reply:

Many questions are asked of thee,
Yet entertained even gods must be.
Here is one of my works for you to view,
Let me know what you think and do what you do.
To mighty Pan, twice removed from heaven,
Here is a poem about your distant Norse brethren.

Us dedicated few.

Caged chaos under order by sword.
Hel hath no fury like the Viking Horde.
Ratatosk speed. The hammer of Thor.
Valhalla to all who die brave in war.

A Valkyrie's whim will seal your fate.
To eternally fight or return a hero to mate.
Constricting serpent. Extending its grip.
But the tide will turn and tables will flip.

An identity that should have been kept.
Complacency set in as Odin wept.
Cultures lost. Progressions slow walk
Of these old gods you must not talk.

New empires carved under cooling flame.
Yet weapons of war we still love to tame
Melting traditions. Norse gods they cost.
In children like me they will never be lost.

Chronicled events held close in heart.
Stories so old find it hard to depart.
Something is there. We feel something more.

Us dedicated few will keep this precious lore.

Us dedicated few.

The Oracle Reply:

 

 

Blessed Be, and Greetings,
Brother of Odin and Thor!
It is joyful meeting,
now, as in days of Yore.

Worlds and men are fleeting,
yet gods live evermore.
Your loyalty is endearing
Your poetry, I adore.

Gods seem to be receeding,
recalled by men no more.
Yet they are here, still breathing --
Enternally, Forevermore!

A LETTER FROM A READER:

 

Dearest one of the forest! How are thee? In my darkest hours before falling
sleep, I think of what else I can do to help nature and all the creatures
there in it. I've even written to the president, I'm sure you know this
already. My question is, have you ever been in love with a mortal woman? And
if not, what do you think of mortal women?  Peace be in your heart Pan, Your
humble friend, AD

In honor to Pan - a poem

"Free thee"
__________
Fears cause tears;
with all of mans pride.
problems of over population;
and decreasing lands-
Free thee

I cry to the one; with open hands.
Oh, Pan- How can we change mans greed?
With so many mouths to feed.
Free thee

Silent cries in the night;
Asking for Pans strength to fight;
Rise up and make fierey.
for man is making such missery;
Free thee

The only one I know
Who cares more for nature
Than himself.
Why we love you Pan
Free thee
_________________
written and (c) By, AD
Peace to thee.

If Pan were a man;
He'd be the strongest leader
Standing in his circle of protection
Caring for big and small
He is the one, all and forever;
Protecting us and living in forever!
The Great God Pan

Thank you for reading my poems and may peace be with you all.

Question:

What are the women at my work planning?

The Oracle Reply:

Women talk but seldom say what they really think.
True intentions are betrayed by actions, don't you think?
Watch closely what they do, don't listen to their words.
Carefully observe the plans of those with whom you work.

Question:

Why are we here?

The Oracle Reply:

Which "we", exactly?

"we" gods?
"we" beings?
"we" rocks, moons and streams?
"we" trees and living things?
"we" race of creatures?
"we" groups of people?
"we" families?
"we" individually?
Whichever "we" we be,
"we" are the "wes" that be
"We're" here because "we" say "we're here",
and then agree to be here.

Question:

i want to escape suffering. how is this done?
I what to "live in nature". how do I do this?
how do i protect myself from evil entities?

It is not the time of year to plant a plant. could i do something else, light a fire to you and offer some holly branches?

The Oracle Reply:

Discover the Joy of Creation.
Be natural yourself.
Avoid evil beings.
Plant a tree in a pot until Spring.

Question:

Would I score good marks in my exams?

The Oracle Reply:

Could you, would you, should you score?
Or should you sit in class and snore?
If you look, you'll see there's more,
to The Game of Life than just the score.

Question:

I will plant an Acer Ginnala, or Amur Maple as people like to call it as requested by the "Oracle". I would like to know if I will be completing my degree by 2007, and if it will be at OUC (the University I am attending now).

PS: your Doric columns are lovely, however the steps and "building in the round" are definitely more current historical innovations than the "time of pan." If you reference the temple of King Minos, you will find the columns painted red, mosaics and fresco painting, olive oil basins and wine. You many want to consider referencing this history, but heck, its up to you.

The Oracle Reply:

Degree or not degree?
That's not the question.
Who you decide to be
Is up to your discretion.

A license to survive?
It's not at OUC.
As long as you're alive
You're who you choose to Be.

Planting a Maple Tree --
Now, there's a thing
you can cause to Be
of benefit to every Being.

P.S.
Pan is a Living Being
who lives in Present Time.
He's not an temple beam,
but a Being who's Devine.

Question:

Am I on the right path with regards to love in my life?

The Oracle Reply:

A path is right
if you follow the light
of a flame you create
and a love you ignite.

Question:

Oracle, if you would please answer my question, I promise I will plant a tree in the name of the great God Pan. If my wish is granted within the time of three weeks, I will do this. I am not in the habit of making bargains -- and when I do I generally pay homage at any rate, and regardless. This is a special case. Will there be a sexual unification between the two of us -- is this profound psychic connection going to rent the veil and manifest physically?

The Oracle Reply:

Bargains Pan does not make,
nor does Pan decide your fate.
Psyche is you and sex is sex:
keeping them separate works best.

A union of the body and soul
Is, for the race of Man, a goal.
Psyche lives eternally:
only You make True Unity.

(Thanks from the Supplicant:

Dear Oracle of Pan,

Thanks -- no pacts,
Just this gratitude to thee;
You gave me the facts;
And you understood me.

Thanks -- for the act,
That you gave without fee;
How shall I react?
Oh yes --I 'll plant a tree.
Thank you.)

Question:

My lover is a devoted beleiver in Pan. Now I'm interested too because I love him. I am sure that I am an angel, fallen to Earth. Will we be a good match?

The Oracle Reply:

Belief in Pan is not required
when an Angel From Above
has found her Heart's Desire
and knows she is in Love.

Question:
Dear Pan, I am at a breaking point. In 1992 my mother died leaving a 10-year living trust to me. In April, 2002 the trust ended, leaving me finally beneficiary. Yet the trustee, a supposed family friend, has held up the final disbursement for 11 months now. First, it was IRS liability, which there is none for him. Then he needed me to get a lawyer and CPA to go over his work and approve it, and when approved he needed a release form signed. Every hoop he has put out has been jumped through and now he is again holding up finalization by claiming that he needs to be sure there is no former trustee liability. Meanwhile, all the "professionals" are being billed to the trust, eating up whatever small amount is left (it was originally around $60K). I am having a hard time making ends meet. Very hard. And my lawyer, who makes a huge amount of money, takes a "wait and see" attitude, even though I have told him I can't afford to wait. But more than financially, the trust represents the last "hand from the grave" as it were, the remains of a very painful and abusive childhood that I would like to leave behind once and for all. If this would just end, I could finally breathe...

I don't know what else I can do to make this end. I am so very sad, and feel so insignificant. It is affecting every aspect of my life. Do you see any hope? Any light at the
end of the tunnel?

The Oracle Reply:

Parasites can be trusted to serve themselves.
When you seek strength from others, you are weakened --
just as parasites kill the host and die themselves.

Survival depends on your strength and refusal to be eaten.

Question:

Blessings Pan, should I think seriously of reuniting with my love of many years the musician? He cannot commit to one woman.

The Oracle Reply:

In matters such as this -- think Lightly
Seriousness does not lead to Bliss.
Musicians often treat Love Blithely
Commitment? Just be happy with a Kiss.

---

Question:

Have I met my soulmate, my Pan? Is he still out there or did the Fates decide that it wasn't meant to be in this lifetime?

The Oracle Reply:

Mates are made with sex and dates.
Mortal lives are ruled by The Fates.
But, Souls co-exist through Communication --
Soulmates are made by Love and Compassion.

Question:

Great God Pan,
I awoke this morning to the overwhelming scent of lilacs, even though there are none on my property or anywhere nearby. I seem to remember that the scent of lilacs (non-present) have some spiritual/psychic meaning, and I don't know of anyone personally, present or past, who loved lilacs, except for myself. I cannot find any kind of reference or information on lilacs and the metaphysical, but I feel that there is something I should know -- or remember. As God of all that is Wild, I thought you would know...
I just purchased a magnificent magnolia tree yesterday and I will plant it in your name.

The Oracle Reply:

The scent of Cedar means Pan is near.
Animal forms or Love's Caress,
Glowing auras, dreams and fears,
By godly visits you may be Blessed.

Be still and listen when signs begin.
The scent of flowers, when none are there,
Is caused by You, the Goddess Within.
You know their meaning -- just be aware!

Question:

Are you the God that ravished me in a dream? Are you the God that tore the light of my life out of me, deep from within me? before thee I humbly Bow! You are by far stronger than I ! Why tho can`t we speak civily to one other? You are certinly more than just a part of me!
With such a STRONG WILL of your own I know that you are not just my Imagination!

I dont believe you are the malicious devil christians say you are either! I think you are miss understood! I think you could be a very loving and compassionate God ( and Father ) as I
would like to be your loving and compassionate spouce! Tell me how It is I have offended you as I am very SORRY! and miss you very much! and long for the company of you and OUR baby! However strange this medium is I await your e-mail, If however this is some wierd game mere mortals play -- BEWARE!

The Oracle Reply:

You may Lust or Must or Trust,
Mired in the Human Dust
We call the Game of Life --
It may be Fun or may be Strife.

As Spirits, You and I are Free!
All of Life is Fantasy --
Except as Beings may Agree
On Really Real Reality.

To Play a Game we must Decide
That we, Ourselves, must always Hide
Behind Our Self-Created Lies.
And, so, deny the Essence of our Lives.

The Source of Power is within You
You are the God of All you See!
No One Reigns or Shines above You
When you're a Being, truly Free!

Question:

I met you in the redwoods recently, I had a companion with me,we all shared a
glass of wine from intricately painted goblets,we high up in a hammock,close
enough to stroke the stars. I am feeling an intensity of something unknow build up inside of me. what is my question...throw something at me pan and I'll see where it
bounces on me. -- much love

The Oracle Reply:

Wander, Wander -- Everywhere!
First be Here and then be There.
When you're gone you're always here
Amongst the stars or very near.

Merry Make and Merry Meet --
Be pleased to See and pleased to Seek!
Asking questions always gives
you games to play and life to Live!

Question:

Who created Pan? Who were his parents?

The Oracle Reply:

Pan is and always was,
as are all the gods above,
and Man, as well -- in Spirit Form.
Like You, Pan was never born.

---

Question:

To lie unknowing I would like the most.
Will I ever depart an withdraw from new host?
Will there ever be time when I know not what I am?
When I can lie still, know nothing, be nothing, free yet not, at peace where there is none.
Or will I continue this ever cycle on,
Tired and worn untill I am from all gone?

The Oracle Reply:

Merry Meet, Oh Worthy Thee!
Who lies in being,
And nothing. Will Thee
Ever be?

Decide to be!
Decide to be Thee!
In that, freed,
You will Be!

Knowing know
and knowing Be!
Create whatever You
will Be! Or not to Be...

That is the answer
to the question.
The question
is the Answer.

Thee.

Question:

Should I be looking for a new job now or wait a couple months?
When considering this job move, would I be happier in another state (i.e. Mass)?

ThankS Pan!

The Oracle Reply:

Looking is not finding
Finding is finding.
Now is the only Time
Time is Eternally Now.

Happiness is overcoming barriers
to reach a goal.
Happiness is a state in which you create
something from nothing.

---

Question:

Can Pan See Pan?

The Oracle Reply:

Pan Be Pan
Pan See Pan
See Pan Be Pan
Pan See Pan Be Pan
Pan Be Pan, See Pan Be Pan
Pan See Pan Be Pan, See Pan Be Pan
Pan See, See Pan Be, Be Pan, Pan Be See

Question:

I like a man and he likes me. I want to make babys. How do I do so?

The Oracle Reply:

Making babies can be fun
Having babies, not such fun!
Raising babies can be done
better if the Dad's "The One".

Question:

Do you have some special technique in playing Pan Flute?

The Oracle Reply:

My flute is a reed,
it's not just a weed.
I fill it with air
it's voice is so fair

All songs are a voice
it's a matter of choice --
beauty to you
is beauty to you.

The sounds that you make
are what you create.
The Joy of Creation
is cause for Elation!
