JMG, Happy Holidays and a Merry Ole Magic Monday Sans Christmas Music Treacle -

Two questions - you mentioned that, according to Druidic perspective, a soul must corporeally incarnate until every human experience is indeed experienced, this before the soul can move on to higher realms. I'm wondering tho if by Druidic perspective a soul by dint of desire and the will-power to see it through, can skip certain incarnations, can spiritually elevate itself in one incarnation so that other incarnations do not have to be experienced. Or is it absolutely necessary that the soul experience everything no matter how elevated it might become in any one incarnation?
Also, going back to your Death of God post - though the god Pan "died" with the advent of Christ, would it be fair to say that Pan really took a back seat to the New God in terms of immediacy and power? After all, people have continued to see and experience Pan albeit in isolated cases. I imagine that Christ will continue to exist similarly, with a depleted immediacy and power, perhaps to be integrated into a new god and religion.
