Pan\u2019s death heralded the demise of a polytheistic consciousness rooted in the anima mundi and marked the ascension of a monotheistic, patriarchal order that considered the earth as separate from the sacred. The implications of this shift are coming into alarming focus as we reach global tipping points in the life-sustaining balance of the earth\u2019s ecological systems. In this time of great uncertainty, our individual and collective psyches are under immense pressure, resulting in pervasive anxiety and sometimes panic \u2013 areas that fall within Pan\u2019s domain. Through exploring the themes of madness and wildness within Pan\u2019s mythology, we discern deeply embedded self-regulatory patterns emergent in constellated experiences of fear and desire. Pan, god of the periphery and a symbol for untamed wilderness, can help us understand our responses to existential threats and integrate a different consciousness that moves us toward a greater relatedness to each other, our own nature, and the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan J.
