"Pan" Actualize and Assert
This essence is for you if:
you want to connect with your natural instincts.
Approach life with vigor and assertiveness.
Feel clarity on knowing and actualizing your desires.
Pan is portrayed as part goat and part human. He is a vigorous deity that helps us connect with our instinctual animal nature. He represents the sensual, visceral, untamed way we each carry. Pan moves forward in life without question as he knows what he innately desires in the physical. We all possess this ingrained hunger, which is natural, however it can become distorted if we try to repress it. If we are conscious of and embrace our libidinal, desiring nature, it can show up as creativity, vitality, pleasure and an embodied approach to fully living our life.
Information about what is in this essence
Moss brings an awareness of nature’s interconnectedness and a sense of deep grounding, resilience and self-acceptance to our being. Therefore, in this safe space, it encourages us to take action by transforming our fears to the light, fostering our true secure self to be revealed. Moss is considered a symbol of growth, fertility, and abundance, and reflects the concepts of simplicity, humility, and refinement.
Witch Hazel offers us a warm glow, uplifting the spirit in uncertain times. This spiritual light can be especially helpful for those who experience winter depression. Witch Hazel clears away negative energy making room for more joy and emotional healing. It is also helpful for when we try to live up to the expectations of others, helping us clear out the need for validation.
Junco bird symbolizes adaptability and resilience, embracing and finding stability during change, and sets the example to thrive through tough times. Junco’s song holds spiritual significance, offering insights into the divine. This bird also represents balance and harmony, reminding us to seek equilibrium in our life.
Stink Bug aids with clarifying dreams, visions and insights. They are a symbol of resilience, self-transformation, and strength, and bring the intuition to see connections between seemingly separate unrelated events. Spiritually, stink bugs are connected to energy exchange (of our own or other people’s), protection, concealment, and camouflage.
A Story
Pan: Pan popped into my head as I was gazing at the Apple Tree. The spring air was very fresh and warm. There was a slight breeze. A Junco bird flittered up to the tree catching my eye. "Are Junco part of this essence for Pan?" Without even finishing the thought, another Junco flew very close to me, turned, then landed on the branch directly in front of where I was standing. It began to peck around at the moss that was growing on the branches. As I was observing that Junco, other Juncos began flying up to the tree and pecking at the Moss. Pretty soon there was a party of about seven or more Juncos enjoying the habitat that the tree offered. “What flowers should I use?” Witch hazel immediately popped into my head. (I contemplated where to find one as I did not have one growing in my garden.) Including Moss felt right. Soon, the supporting stones popped into my head: Malachite/Chrysocolla mix, Malachite, Selenite, Dumortierite. I started gathering them. I prepared the water and carried the bowl and stones back out to the apple tree. I figured out a way to set the bowl up on top of a girthy branch, so it was stable high up in the tree. I walked around the yard keenly feeling and observing the plants and other aspects of nature. I looked at the ground and saw a green jade stone lying right there in the grass. Immediately I placed it near the essence, as well as a red heart-shaped stone that I also noticed on the ground. Direct, clear actions popped into my head. “Walk through, observe, take inventory of the garden.” So I did.
My sensory perception felt very clear, with significant ancient earth wisdom present. Strong clarity and a feeling of "time to get things done" permeated me. The urge to begin preparing the Earth for growth was strong. I also felt a reassuring confidence that the garden would be bountiful this year. I heard hummingbirds singing and playing, and a baby crying. A stink bug caught my eye in the grass. Life was everywhere.
When I came inside and looked at my phone, the first thing I saw was a random notification about witch hazel. It was a strong reassurance that this needed to be in the essence. “Go for a walk.” I went for a walk around the neighborhood on a familiar route and discovered a witch hazel plant that I hadn’t ever seen before. It was clearly a gift. I gathered a few flowers from it and brought them home to add to Pan's essence.
While preparing this essence, I felt these things:
assertive, knowing what needs to be done and following through with the steps to do it.
very connected to the earth and satiated being in nature.
energetic, sensual, libidinal energy.
Several synchronicities as well as an energetic activation led to the making of this essence during the full moon in Leo.
This essence is for you if:
you want to connect with your natural instincts.
Approach life with vigor and assertiveness.
Feel clarity on knowing and actualizing your desires.
