PAN & INK

STEVE CHRISTENSEN
Home: Venice, CA
For cash: Mac Whisperer.
For life: Surfer, Spiritualist, Dirt Bike Rider.

Steve Christensen — whose tattoo "sleeve" features a horned-and-hooved Pan, Japanese wood-block style waves and five-petaled cherry blossoms — is into some serious esoterica.

"I'm a medium," Christensen says, "A channel."

We talk over beers at Venice's venerable Hinano Cafe.

Twenty years ago, in channeling practice-sessions, Christensen connected with a most excellent spirit guide. According to Christensen, in almost every session, Greek goat-god Pan would turn up with advice for him.

"His presence was powerful," Christensen says, "With a lot of humor...and very connected to nature."

(I don't know about you, but if a randy, flute-playing goat-satyr-of-a-fertility-God ever shows up with advice for me, I'm all ears.)
