s21181: Pan he is the god that i want to give worship to

Answer 1

according to ancient pre-Hellenic tradition Gaia is the primordial essence of the Earth, one of the creations of Aether and Hedera.

She became mother of Pontos (the sea) and Ouranos (heaven) and during a liaison with Ouranos she engendered the race of Titans.

so if who you're looking for is the consort of Gaia it would be Her son Ouranos.

Answer 2

If you are worshipping Gaia, it'd probably be a good idea to worship her husband, Uranus.

Don't forget though to look outside the Greek pantheon while you build up your personal pantheon. I'm an atheist but I'm a follower of Fenrir Wolf and Skoll Wolf of norse mythology, the bringers of Ragnarok and the final battle of Good and Evil, and my patron deity is Sehkmet of the Khemetic religion, fierce guardian-mother and inventor of genocide.

Look for the gods & goddesses that are meaningful to you.

Answer 3

The Gods/Goddesses call to you not the other way around. When it's time for you to know them, they well show you who they are.

Answer 4

Make sure you study hard.

Good choices! They are my God and Goddess. I love Pan. Such vitality and mirth!

The Myths of Pan - ''One of the famous myths of Pan involves the origin of his trademark pan pipes. Syrinx was a beautiful nymph beloved by the satyrs and other wood dwellers. She scorned them all. As she was returning from the hunt one day, Pan met her. She ran away and didn't stop to hear his compliments, and he pursued until she came to the bank of a river where he overtook her. She had only time to call on the water nymphs for help. Just as Pan laid hands on her, she was turned into the river reeds. When the air blew through the reeds, it produced a plaintive melody. The god took some of the reeds to make an instrument which he called a syrinx, in honor of the nymph.

Echo was a nymph who was a great singer and dancer and scorned the love of any man. This angered Pan, a lecherous god, and he instructed his followers to kill her. Echo was torn to pieces and spread all over earth. The goddess of the earth, Gaia, received the pieces of Echo, whose voice remains repeating the last words of others. In some versions, Echo and Pan first had one child: Iambe.

Pan also loved a nymph named Pitys, who was turned into a pine tree to escape him.

Pan is famous for his sexual prowess, and is often depicted with an erect phallus. He was believed by the Greeks to have plied his charms primarily on maidens and shepherds, such as Daphnis. Though he failed with Syrinx and Pitys, Pan didn't fail with the Maenads—he had every one of them, in one orgiastic riot or another. To effect this, Pan was sometimes multiplied into a whole tribe of Panes.

Once Pan had the audacity to compare his music with that of Apollo, and to challenge Apollo, the god of the lyre, to a trial of skill. Tmolus, the mountain-god, was chosen to umpire. Pan blew on his pipes, and with his rustic melody gave great satisfaction to himself and his faithful follower, Midas, who happened to be present. Then Apollo struck the strings of his lyre. Tmolus at once awarded the victory to Apollo, and all but Midas agreed with the judgment. He dissented, and questioned the justice of the award. Apollo would not suffer such a depraved pair of ears any longer, and caused them to become the ears of a donkey.''

From whitedragon.org.uk - ''In the retinue of Dionysus, or in depictions of wild landscapes, there appeared not only a great Pan, but also little Pans, Paniskoi, who played the same part as the Satyrs. This resemblance to the Satyrs, of whom there must at first have been more than one, led to a dispersion and multiplication of the god Pan, who perhaps, when he originally came into being, had only a single twin brother and represented the darker half of a divine male couple. Pan belongs to that twilight world of satyrs, fauns, centaurs and sileni, who according to venerable tradition once thronged the globe, and whose descendants may still be glimpsed by the sensitive. (Crowley once confessed to having seen a faun peering at him from behind a tree at Fontainbleau.) These earlier stages of human evolution, the androgynous and semi-animal states, are yet recapitulated in the womb.

The characteristics that were ascribed to Pan in numerous lesser tales are well known: dark, terror-awakening, phallic, but not always malignant. He could, of course, sometimes be malignant, especially at noon, if he were awakened from his sleep. At night he led the dance of the nymphs, and he also ushered in the morning and kept watch from the mountain summits. Many love-stories were told of him, in which he pursued nymphs. These chases often had dramatic results. Syrinx turned herself into a reed-pipe, from which Pan fashioned the syrinx, a herdsman's flute with a row of holes; Echo, chased by Pan, became a mere voice, mere refracted sound. But Pan's greatest passion was for Selene. Of this affair it was told that the moon-goddess refused to company with the dark god. Whereupon Pan, to please her, dressed himself in white ram-skins, and thus seduced Selene. He even carried her on his back. It is however uncertain whether even in the earliest time it was necessary for him thus to change his shape in order to play the role of successful lover with a goddess who repeatedly lets herself be embraced by darkness. But the myth has traceable links with the ancient devotions of Egypt. Of all the Egyptians who were skilled in working magic. Nectanebo, the last native king of Egypt, about BCE 358, was the chief, if we may believe Greek tradition. When he saw that the end of the kingdom of Egypt was at hand, he shaved off his hair and his beard, disguised himself by putting on common apparel, took ship and fled to Pella in Macedonia, where he established himself as a physician and as an Egyptian soothsayer.''

His energy and sexuality seems perfect to me to represent the God, along with the Primal Earth Mother Gaia.
