Those who are wise know that all symbols are symbols of something, not of nothing

“We know what happened to those who chanced to meet the Great God Pan, and those who are wise know that all Symbols - God pansymbols 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.”

By Arthur Machen, The Great God Pan

If you do not discover within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it without

“My advice to you, whoever you may be, Oh you who desire to explore the Mysteries of Nature;mirror 2

if you do not discover within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it without.

If you ignore the excellence of your own house, how can you aspire to find excellence elsewhere?

Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures.

Oh Man! Know thyself, and you will know the universe and the Gods.”
