My experience with Pan was positive! The most intriguing dream I ever had was one where I found a glass whistle, blew on it, and Pan appeared. He told me to blow on it anytime I needed him. Then we ran around playing before he ran off and disappeared. He seemed very kind! I hadn’t thought of Pan in a very long time and had to research him after having the dream. I interpreted the dream as advice to not take myself too seriously and have carefree fun from time to time.

[@vincirolli2910]

Thanks i have same experience with pan

[@FordMrson]

you must be a good person i am a bit jealous honestly greek deities are all about been virtues as a person they appear only to good persons and those appearance are signs about something usually although you can interpret them however you want. if you saw pan himself know his body is a metaphor for duality. His human part means the souls they are searching for a way to be free and ascend and the beast side is the material side so these could mean you may search a bit the spirituality but you are still bound by some material needs or whatever.

[@knoelle1357]

I had a beautiful dream about Pan last year! The world was falling apart, war was raging around us, but I felt safe and cared for by him. He told me exactly who he was and it felt so real! I’m not even pagan, I’m a Catholic. 😂

It’s pretty common for people who are Irish to have Scandinavian ancestry since they conquered Ireland quite a few times in history. It’s where the stereotypical “Irish” red hair comes from!

[@missscarlett5464]

yes, Dublin was one of several Viking settlements!

[@eurosis]

This percentage is way too big to be explained by Viking conquest.

[@ultrademigod]

@@eurosis Ireland is about 10% redheads, which is higher slightly higher than amongst Scandinavians. Not that it really matter, because Celtic people often have fair or red hair too.

[@eurosis]

@@ultrademigod I was referring to the percentage of Scandinavian ancestry in LotL's DNA results. 10% means it must have come from a great-grandparent, not Viking invaders centuries ago.

[@kashikoicat]

That's pretty silly. If people with Scandinavian ancestry are staying in the same place and having kids generation after generation, it's certainly possible that someone with 10% Scandinavian ancestry got that from several ancestors with bits of Scandinavian ancestry intermarrying

[@bernardmulligan5504]

My take on Pan was that he is "the god of the wild forest". He could induce panic or madness if you got lost in the woods, and he has this duality between night and day. During the day he was a cute fury fornicator, but at night he became a frightening predator. All this is probably a modern take that people put together, drawing inspiration from historical accounts. I like that your videos give a more accurate historical account. Its hard to find that in digestible form.

[@FordMrson]

I do not think there is duality just because he is half goat and half man i strongly disagree his goat legs were a metaphor for him having strong legs like a goat because goats can jump in the edges of cliffs and not real goat legs as for his horns back the ancient ways they used to wear animal skull masks thus the horns had were from that mask not sure why everyone image poor pan as half goat half man really. There is a deeper meaning behind pan other than what you described but you are unlucky i cannot find a post i found few years ago.

Pan is the reason, 'Peter' becomes Peter Pan and Peters father becomes Captain Hook in the original Peter Pan trilogy.

[@instinctivelychelsea2905]

I have a statue of pan from Greece my friend got me it's very cool small but really cute , I love that the word panic came from pan.

[@FordMrson]

Not exactly if pan comes from" panik"i mean that is what i am hearing but it could be from the word "παν" meaning everything and if you read the orphic hymns there is apart that says his human members are parts of nature he is nature deity and he was one of the first gods it shows that ancient people probably people before the time the cities existed during the time of small settlements in nature that is when they made pan. It stacks because it is in that time that priests or more likely the settlement shamans wore animal skulls in their heads so that is why he has horns on his legs or at least that is my interpretation

[@AlbertaGeek]

Considering, over the centuries, the various Norse settlers and raiders of the Isles, having a bit of Scandinavian heritage should not be all that surprising.

[@signespencer6887]

Could be quite a long time ago

[@comentedonakeyboard]

Vikings also operated and intermaried in the baltic and eastern europ areas.

[@MasoTrumoi]

Keep in mind that 'madness' in Greek times was not how we view it today. It was more similar to having an "episode" in our modern parlance than it was being mentally ill. Being drunk was a form of madness, being too obviously emotional could be labeled madness, panic was a form of madness, hence the name. Dionysus could and would inflict madness as well and he was part of the Pantheon. So don't think of inflicting madness as inflicting a permanent mental illness, it more meant "make them have an episode".

Hello, I was unaware of your channel until I bumped into you on Threads and this is a sphere of knowledge that is right in my wheelhouse: Anyhow I have always linked Pan with characters like Herne The Hunter and The mysterious figure that is Cernunnos and to a lesser extent Odin. Also I would recommend an awesome webtv series called “Hellier”(the name comes from a small town in Kentucky) which features Pan quite prominently in season two which is 10 episodes but the first season of 5 episodes has lot of interesting content in it as well.

“I know you, you are that merry sprite called Robin Goodfellow. Thou speakst the right, I am that merry wanderer of the night.” Midsummer night dream 2:1

[@jimbrittain402]

My first thought is, "Pan is neither good nor evil. Like all gods (yes, even that one), Pan is powerful, arbitrary, and interested only in what Pan is interested in. The good goddess is good because that is her interest. Pan is interested in the wild. Even Loki - he's Loki because he likes to stir things up." Also - when you're delighted with something, the whole building lights up.

[@Start.a.curvolution]

[@MasoTrumoi]

This comment also brings up the modern issue with the words "Worship" and "Idolize". Because of Christianity and other Abrahamic Faiths, as well as some other similar morally-polarized faith, we view it as meaning "think is perfect" or "want to be like". However, worship used to be very transactional. You didn't worship and make offerings to a god because you believed they were 'good', you did it to obtain a fraction of their power. Likewise, idolization means to raise something to godhood, but godhood does not mean noble, just, or good intrinsically. It just means powerful. Even if a god like Pan was "evil", it wouldn't mean his worshippers were. That's a transplantation of Abrahamic outlook that any worship of any thing that is not their God is inherently evil.

Fantastic as always. It made me smile to hear that Marsus suggested that Pan and Jesus were interlinked, because, although strictly a casual observer of religion and folklore, I've often found it curious that so many of the stories that are echoed in the crucifixion center trickster-type gods.

[@holyfreak8]

"El Gran dios Pan ha muerto" You made me remember (in my own language😅) reading that quote in a book that mention that story talking about the soon to come end of Paganism and the advent of Christianity as the new religion. For me is curious how Pan, being part man part animal, represented the union of man and nature, or the part of mankind that still resisted "civilization"/"reason", still in contact with that "darker"/"occult" part of our past devoted to a more harmonic relationship with our surroundings. And how that dichotomy comes and goes throughout out history. About the DNA test, I´m curious to take one, as an an average argentinian I know I have strong european/criollo heritage and a bit of indian, but I´d like to confirm how is my family tree. Greetings Cinzia! Great video as always.

Is it true that panic attacks were explained in Greek mythology in such a way that sometimes Pan caused panic in people to entertain himself, or is the connection between panic and Pan a modern folk etymology and made up?

[@jader2357]

I think there is some myths about him causing panic attacks, but what I heard is its his screaming that caused it. There is also a cave system that is in the Greek area that sounds really eerie because of air passing through it and the Greeks called it the marriage of pan.

Per the idea that Pan is fathered by all of his suiters... this is likely just ancient retconning in attempt at etymology. Since Pan means "all" most myths relating to his origin somehow include the word as part of his story. In Homer's account, he is accept by "all" of the Gods. In the Orphic hymns, he is "the god of All"... the chaotic and ecstatic counterpoint to the concept of Physis... the Universe in flowing growth. It is also possible that it could be related to his status as a Rustic god... a god for the common people and the artisocracy alike... a god for all.

"Pan, Pan, Greek god Pan: one half goat, the other half MAAAAAAAN"

[@FordMrson]

Not mine just in a site i found but i thought it would be cool to translate it and post it Its name probably comes from the root pa, which means guarding or nurturing, from which the verb "paomai" (to acquire, to keep) comes from. Panas, as his name suggests, symbolizes the World, the Pan? Its ambiguous form perhaps symbolizes the harmony of the world that arose out of chaos, which the cosmic divine powers serve and maintain. Pan the son of Hermes is two-brained (half-man, half-goat), because speech expresses everything and is constantly revolving, and is of two kinds, true and false. Well, the true part of him is lion and divine and dwells above the abode of the gods, while the false part lives below among the crowd and is rough and tragic. Because most myths and lies revolve around this issue, that is, the tragic life. Pan flirts with the Nymphs, because these Entities undertake the weaving of the soul with the body, during incarnation, so they sustain Life. And the Word manifests and is cultivated within a Perfect Being that Lives in the sublunar fields. Pan, according to the myth, is in love with Aphrodite because those souls who incarnate and receive the influence of speech, tend towards the Notional Kallos, represented by the Goddess, harmonizing their surroundings, according to Timaeon, which are disturbed by the entrance of of soul in matter. That is why Pan plays the Syringe, which has Seven flutes in an array, symbolizing the human Soul with its Seven Centers and by playing Music (supplication) harmonizes it. The combination of the human and animal form of Panos symbolizes, on a human level, the world-historical event of the Promethean man's exit from the caves and forests, when he separated himself from the rest of the animal kingdom, creating human civilization. The lower animal part of Pana symbolizes the animal instincts and passions that keep man captive in matter, while the upper part represents the thinking man. The belt has always been a symbol of isolation of the upper torso, as closest to the higher nature of man, the soul and spirit which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal kingdom. The lower part of the trunk being closest to the ground symbolized matter. For this reason, the initiates also wore the purple belt around their waists, as a sign of their initiation, and of the knowledge that man is superior to his animal passions, as "above religion". Horns always symbolize, as we have often mentioned, the connection of man with the Divine. Horns also symbolize the moon, which illuminates the darkness, borrowing light from the Sun. Man's purpose is to become self-luminous, and not heteroluminous like the Moon. In this way, Pan is the hierophant who leads the mystic's soul towards self-knowledge and "Theosis". Its symbol is the goat which climbs the difficult paths of the paths of knowledge and self-knowledge. Panas in his lower monstrous animal state, like all monstrous beings in Greek mythology, represent animal passions, mental weaknesses, defects, perversions and phobias. In his higher human status he symbolizes not only the intelligent man, but the man who tries to conquer "self-knowledge".

Pan is the god I feel most affinity for and the one I feel is most misunderstood. He represents the useful primitive - he can be irrational and radical but his way is the simplest, the one that incorporates the boundary between humanity and the wild. It’s a shame he’s been demonised, his nature isn’t evil, it’s just slightly more animalistic than good Christians can integrate with their nature to subjugate the natural world.

Christians looks down on pan for the exact reason OP said and you're confirming it. There is nothing dirty about any form of safe consensual sex. Period. If you see sex as a sacred act then whatever. But y'all use it as a reason to look down on anyone who doesn't agree and it's weird as hell.

@@TheBestOne_hi_34 If both partners aren't in the same freedom of doing everything they want, with their shared lust and love as the only guides, then it's not sex. Yes, quite cruel assumption. Sex is spiritual, but I have not a single envy to invite God in a shared bed, there's clearly not the place, and I bet he is a snoring one in his sleep. Truth is, in my book God only existed to devote sincerely your soul to him, and then find a girl, the girl, who will make you betray him in a heartbeat if she asked.

​@@aelfredrex8354the fact Yaweh is touted as 'the one God' always gets me. He was literally a storm and war god of a tribe or raiders. Who had much in common with the storm god of the philistines (whom they invaded I'll add. The philistines being storms of agriculture not chaotic too). The cults of Baal being demonised (maybe fairly so, with sacrifice practices) due to 'gods envy of' false gods'. Yaheh being subordinate to the God El, creating the later phrase Elohim. I don't think Christians actually know a whole lot about thier God 99% the time. It would be days of waffling material, to cover the issues with the one god Yawehism .

Oh, lady! i love this story (having a goat like face and hairy legs), but please, i also much enjoy watching you voice them, your lovely little smiles and tics. I know you speak rather softly, but please don't hide behind that hideous microphone cover thing.

Io Pan ! Khaire Pan !

Is, dear. Not was. Is everything evil? Granted, there is evil in the world, but when one is a pantheist and views the whole as divine, does it follow that moral consistency is inherent with a multiverse filled with an infinite variety of moral types? Besides, what is moral and what isn't? That's an entirely different issue.

So again, no one expects the catholic church, again. Through i can live with jesus as pans wild brother.

​@@Eet_Mia Pan counterpart, philosophically at least, is Heracles. Pan, the God who dies, again and again. 🕳️🍏 Heracles, the mortal who didn't. ✊🌹 The struggle of two far away brothers : Nature and History, one under the realm of Aeon, the other under the guidance of Chronos. (And the last of the three entity of time, Kairos, 👁️ is Dionysus mastery, the one who is born twice, Nature's History : evolution as such, but also History's Nature : we call it Art, culture.) Yes Pan counterpart is Heracles The goat and the ram, the struggle of the unconscious and the conscious in understanding and accepting each other, the unconscious shall become humor, the conscious trust. 🐸 🦎 🐐🔥🐏

Pan is a god and never dies..He was never evil..
