Pan, sweet beloved Pan. If people only knew your joy, your love of freedom. You are not seperate from anything, your name meaning All. You are deeply embedded in life, Lord Pan. God of the wild, god of nature, god of the mountain wilds, God of fields, groves and wooded glens, I invoke thee.

Bestow the Owl Gift, the ability to write and communicate clearly. Show us to the burial places of mythical kings. Strike the rock with your spear. Expel the Vices from the Garden of Virtue. I call your name. Your aegis, your shield made of goat skin, produces a sound as from a myriad roaring dragons. Roar it.

An aspect of the Goddess Artemis could be seen in the High Priestess. Her archetypal feminine energy embodies cool-minded clarity, direction, fearlessness, courage. Artemis is the goddess of the forests and mountainous wildlands. She helps with the ability to protect oneself and provide nourishment. A moon goddess, she is a protector in childbirth, of nine-year-old girls (who were called her “little she bears”) and relieving women’s ill health. As a mountain goddess, she is free to roam and be true to herself.
