The abundant green growth of spring is all around. Take time today to walk in the woods and give praise to Pan, Greek god of the woodlands, fertility, wild animals, music, nature spirits, and dance. If you live in a city, find a park where you can safely walk. If you live in the country, go to a favorite spot. Slow down enough to notice the abundant springing of life and, marveling in it, commune with the Green Man of spring:
"In the riot of spring's wild surge, We summon Pan with these words. Horned god, dance throughout the trees, Summon the beasts, and command the bees. Sprouts and shoots, plants and vines, Green magic energy now entwines. Play your pipes and celebrate, Great Pan, we invoke you on this date." Later, as you walk toward your home, hum or sing and spread the spirit of Pan throughout the land. |
