visit. He went to fetch wine; left alone I
contemplated a cupboard with carved panels of
walnut or alderwood, I forget which. As usual, the
veins in the wood formed figures in my imagination.
Among them I saw in lively presentment
a head with a goat’s beard, and immediately
turned my back upon it. It was Pan in
person, as depicted by the ancients and as
metamorphosed later into the Devil of the Middle
Ages. I content myself by noting the fact; the
owner of the cupboard, the doctor, would be
doing occult sciences a great service if he would
allow the panel to be photographed. In the
Initiation for November, 1896, Dr. Marc Haven
has treated of this phenomenon, which is common
in all the kingdoms of nature, and I recommend
the reader to regard attentively the face
on the shell of the tortoise.
