"God of the Wild, Shepherds, and Rustic Music"
✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Pan is the god of the wild, shepherds, flocks, nature, mountain wilds, and rustic music. With his goat legs, horns, and shaggy hair, he represents untamed nature and the primal forces that civilization tries to suppress.
He roams the forests and mountains playing his pan pipes, whose haunting music can inspire both joy and the sudden terror called "panic." His domain is the wild spaces between settlements, where nature rules and human order does not reach.
Pan is associated with sexuality and fertility, often pursuing nymphs through the woods. Yet he also represents the simple joy of pastoral life, the bond between shepherd and flock, and the importance of wilderness in a civilized world.
✦ Famous Story
Pan pursued the nymph Syrinx, who fled from him and begged the river to save her. She was transformed into water reeds. Pan, finding only reeds where his love had stood, fashioned the first pan pipes from them, forever playing songs of his lost love.
✦ If You Match
Your features carry the wild energy of Pan. There is an untamed, natural quality to your appearance—the look of one connected to primal forces and the joy of uninhibited expression.
