We know what happened to those who chanced to meet the Great God Pan, and those who are wise know that all symbols are symbols of something, not of nothing. It was, indeed, an exquisite symbol beneath which men long ago veiled their knowledge of the most awful, most secret forces which lie at the heart of all things; forces before which the souls of men must wither and die and blacken, as their bodies blacken under the electric current. Such forces cannot be named, cannot be spoken, cannot be imagined except under a veil and a symbol, a symbol to the most of us appearing a quaint, poetic fancy, to some a foolish tale. But you and I, at all events, have known something of the terror that may dwell in the secret place of life, manifested under human flesh; that which is without form taking to itself a form.
Something that once had importance might be forgotten by most people but because millions of people once knew it, a force is present that can be harnessed. There might be so much significance attached to a song, for example, or a fact, that it can__ die but only lies dormant, like a vampire in his coffin, waiting to be called forth from the grave once again. There is more magic in the fact that the first mass worldwide photo of the Church of Satan was taken by Joe Rosenthal _ the same man who took the most famous news photo in history _ the flag-raising at Iwo Jima. There__ real occult significance to that _ much more than in memorizing grimoires and witches_ alphabets. People ask me about what music to use in rituals _ what is the best occult music. I__e instructed people to go to the most uncrowded section of the music store and it__ a guarantee what you__l find there will be occult music. That__ the power of long-lost trivia. I get irritated by people who turn up their noses and whine __hy would anyone want to know that?_ Because once upon a time, everyone in America knew it. Suppose there__ a repository of neglected energy, that__ been generated and forgotten. Maybe it__ like a pressure cooker all this time, just waiting for someone to trigger its release. __ere I am,_ it beckons, __ have all this energy stored up just waiting for you _ all you have to do is unlock the door. Because of man__ stupidity, he__ neglected me to this state of somnambulism _ dreaming the ancient dreams _ even though I was once so important to him._ Think about that. A song that was once on millions of lips now is only on your lips. Now what does that contain? Those vibrations of that particular tune, what do they evoke, call up? What do they unlock? The old gods lie dormant, waiting.

And sometimes I believe your relentless analysis of June leaves something out, which is your feeling for her beyond knowledge, or in spite of knowledge. I often see how you sob over what you destroy, how you want to stop and just worship; and you do stop, and then a moment later you are at it again with a knife, like a surgeon.What will you do after you have revealed all there is to know about June?

And you, the same. We will be stronger for it, each of us, stronger with our love and our hate. When you caricature and nail down and tear apart, I hate you. I want to answer you, not with weak or stupid poetry but with a wonder as strong as your reality. I want to fight your surgical knife with all the occult and magical forces of the world.

On the contrary, it wants you to stick around so it can destroy your life and sully your soul from the inside.
