Look! He even has his goatee!

I was looking back at Hermes' myths, and I forgot how head over heels he was for Pan when he was born until now. Pan was abandoned by his mother, but Hermes was all giddy and excited from how cute he thought Pan was that he immediately wrapped him up and brought him back to Olympus to show him off.

I do imagine raising him was quite the experience; Pan constantly trying to headbutt Hermes, eat everything in sight including clothes, climbing up cliff walls, and more goat things. But Hermes adored him regardless.

One thing I adore about the spirits like Lucifer and Aphrodite is the company they keep. They just generate community and admirers because they are so profoundly joyous. Lucifer’s realm, kinda like Dionysus’ is a perpetual party. Drink, laughter, dance, and sex, of course. I always identified highly with Pan and his joy of just hanging around these beautiful creatures. Dancing with them, singing marry songs, just enjoying and beholding their intense beauty and freedom. Call this a upg but my birth chart is very dominated by Mercury (Gemini sun, moon, and taurus). I like to think that his influence has predisposed me to be enamoured by Venus.

Oh how I wish to be one of those lucky spirits who dance and play with those gorgeous nymphs and gods and goddesses!!!

Pan stood betwixt the tree, the ocean, and me.

Sometimes when I’m in the mountains, I swear I can hear the music of a flute whistling through the blueberry meadows in the wind, and I know that somewhere in the crags, pan is composing a symphony for me 🪈💚🐐

Added a little to a UPG in my book of shadows about how I saw Pan once and I wrote that he was “about 2-3 goats tall,” because I’m awful at guessing heights

Poetry Request | Pan

oh to sing a song of untamed pan

keeping the hum of natures enchantment strong

truly wild , half earth - half man ?

one side warm

one side cool

with dancing nymphs he did preform

followed the stories of a god so cruel

i sing his song in revelry

lord of shepard - and - Hungering Wild.

a story lost long to unfound devilry

by christian panic his story defiled

though hes died

his notes hav’ last

as i sing just know I Tried.

to remember the song of natures past.

Telemachus if Herodotus and the Romans had their way about Pan's parentage:

Herodotus really should have stuck to history but I must secretly admit, imagining a much nicer origin story than what this man wrote and big brother Telemachus had me a little amused.

Kids say the darndest things, amiright? (pls don't call paw patrol, they would be besties before this godly little shit would go prancing out into the wilds never to return)

Having to explain to people that yes I know we live somewhere where there are a bunch of deer but THAT mf right there is one of Pan's and he won't leave me tf alone

the lines from the Homeric Hymn to Pan where Hermes is described as a loving and caring father, the way his heart is written to be fulfilled with joy as soon as he took the baby in his arms just when the nurse was just too scared of him, and how the Gods were so happy to meet him really makes me emotional and melts my heart. "He delighted all their hearts". Hail to Lord Pan ❤️

these are the lines:

“But when the nurse saw his uncouth face and full beard, she was afraid and sprang up and fled and left the child. [40] Then luck-bringing Hermes received him and took him in his arms: very glad in his heart was the god. And he went quickly to the abodes of the deathless gods, carrying his son wrapped in warm skins of mountain hares, and set him down beside Zeus [45] and showed him to the rest of the gods. Then all the immortals were glad in heart and Bacchic Dionysus in especial; and they called the boy Pan because he delighted all their hearts.”

Deserted by Eros, her lover, Psyche bemoans her curiosity and its consequences. Agitated yet demure, she is comforted by Pan, the otherwise frivolous god of nature.
