Mar. 6th, 2003 06:43 pmA post I just read in
occult inspired me to share a story with you.
Many moons ago a good friend of mine was a student. As students are wont to do he experimented with drugs, alternative sexual practices and vast quantities of alcohol. As well as these time honoured standards he also cultivated an air of mystery by dabbling in the occult. This led to him joining a coven of Wiccans. Unfortunately my friend had a well developed sense of humour and found it very hard to take them seriously. He struggled along in the coven for a month or two, doing his best not to snigger, until one night the head of the coven told him that he was banished from the coven and could not ever have anything to do with them again. My friend enquired as to why this was. The head of the coven replied "During the Invocation of Pan you were heard to be chanting something other than the required words". My friend looked innocent and asked what he had been heard to say. The head of the coven replied "You were chanting 'Oh Great Pan, Non-stick Pan, Frying Pan'".
