In the Oahspe: A New Bible, Pan, also referred to as Whaga, is a significant geographical and cultural region described as the original landmass or continent on Earth, predating the current continents.
Pan serves as the setting for early human history and spiritual development, particularly during the cycles of Sethantes (27,000 BCE) and Aph (24,000 BCE).
Oahspe details Pan’s creation, its role as the cradle of humanity, its submersion in a great flood, and its lasting spiritual significance. The primary sources for this information are the Book of Jehovih, Book of Sethantes, and Book of Aph.
Nature
Jehovih creates Pan as a vast, fertile landmass. It supports early human race called the Asu. It holds a unique place in Oahspe’s cosmology.
“Jehovih formed the land of Whaga, called Pan, a place of light and beauty. He placed man thereupon.”
Book of Jehovih, Chapter II
Pan also goes by Whaga, meaning “the first place” in Oahspe’s language. It represents Earth’s primal state.
“Whaga, the land of Pan, was the first to receive Jehovih’s chosen. It stood as their home.”
Book of Sethantes, Chapter I
Role
First, Pan nurtures the Asu, a primitive human race. Angels inspire them to evolve into I’hins, Jehovih’s chosen.
“In Pan, angels dwelt with Asu. They raised up the I’hins to know Jehovih.”
Book of Sethantes, Chapter V
Next, Pan hosts the first heavenly kingdom, Hored. Sethantes establishes it to guide spirits and mortals.
“Sethantes built Hored in Pan’s heavens. He taught spirits Jehovih’s laws.”
Book of Sethantes, Chapter II
In addition, Pan faces a great flood under Aph’s cycle (~24,000 BCE). Jehovih submerges it to cleanse spiritual chaos.
“Jehovih sent a flood upon Whaga. The land sank beneath the waters.”
Book of Aph, Chapter III
However, Jehovih spares selected I’hins. Angels transport them to new lands like Shem and Jaffeth.
“Angels carried the I’hins from Pan. They settled them in new continents.”
Book of Aph, Chapter III
Significance of Pan (Whaga)
Pan marks humanity’s spiritual beginning. It shapes Faithism’s foundation through the I’hins.
“From Pan came Faithism. The I’hins carried Jehovih’s light to all lands.”
Book of Knowledge, Chapter III
Furthermore, Pan’s submersion influences Oahspe’s cycles. It scatters Faithists, spreading Jehovih’s worship.
“Whaga’s fall sent Faithists abroad. They planted Jehovih’s seed worldwide.”
Book of Aph, Chapter IV
In conclusion, Pan’s legacy endures in the Kosmon Era (143 A.K. in 2025). Oahspe honors its role as humanity’s origin.
“In Kosmon, mortals remember Pan. It was Jehovih’s first gift to man.”
Book of Knowledge, Chapter I

Conclusion
Oahspe portrays Pan (Whaga) as the first landmass, home to the Asu and I’hins, and the birthplace of Faithism. Jehovih submerges it in a flood, but its legacy shapes global worship. Ashars and other angels guide its survivors.
