About the Book For me the most fundamental path, the most primal
path, is that of the beginning, the Nameless (before speech), the
Infinite (before time), The One who is All and None. There is no
name for this, no label for the wild stirrings that fill and inform
my mind, heart and body-so I call it Pan. In this way it has a
presence, a body, a focus, a BEING, and so in this way I have been
able to converse with, play with, make love with, consume and be
consumed by the primal wilderness archetype that fills me, one that
is truer than all other illusions. Through a mask the unnamable is
approachable, and Pan is the ultimate mask of endless
contradictions united, of seeing the divine in One, in All and in
None -all at once. This book and its extremely loose and flexible
system of magick (Called here 'Pan Magick' for want of a better
name) is an intensely personal project. Let there be no doubt that
it is an original system that draws from many wells, birthed from
my interface with 'Pan'. At the peak moments of this dance, like
when "The Book of Gate" came to me, 'I' was quite absent. Still,
here 'I' am and It seems a whole crew of 'mes' is penning this book
and all are, of course, mere illusions and refractions. The act of
somehow piecing together notes and rites and somewhat inchoate
scribblings from 30 years worth of practice has me wondering what
I'm doing. But The Great Pan has laughed and beckons me on and
urges me to get it together and get it out there, so away we
go.--From the Introduction About the Author Aion 131, a writer,
