“In other ceremonies and workings, the elementals of Earth, Water, Air and Fire, as well as the devas of landscape—including Pan—are invoked for active co-operation. In classical Greece and Rome, for example, it was well understood that we needed to be in harmonious relationship with this parallel world.

Every home had a small altar dedicated to the angel of the house; schools, hospitals, theatres, parliaments, all had altars and ceremonies to work with the over-lighting angelic consciousnesses. Tribal societies are also full of ceremonies that call in the co-operation of the devas and angels to help make horticulture or tool making or journeys harmonious and successful.”
