Pan
Pan is often associated with the Trickster archetype in Jungian psychology. The Trickster is a complex figure that can have both positive and negative traits and can represent both chaos and creativity. The connection between Pan and the Trickster is likely due to Pan's association with nature and wildness, which can sometimes be seen as chaotic or disruptive. The Trickster archetype can also be seen as a positive force, as it often challenges societal norms and conventions in a way that can lead to growth and change. The Trickster can also be associated with creativity and a sense of playfulness, which can be seen in Pan's mischievous and light-hearted nature.
Pan is often portrayed as a wild and untamed being, connected to nature and living outside the boundaries of civilization. This makes him a representation of the primal or instinctual aspects of human nature, which can sometimes be seen as disruptive or chaotic, but also creative and free-spirited.
In a Proto-Indo-European he is called *Péh₂usōn ("Protector"). He is then also very much a pastoral god, guarding roads and herds. He was also closely affiliated with goats or bucks: Pan has goat's legs while goats are said to pull the car of Pūshān (the animal was also sacrificed to him on occasion). Many of Pan's original attributes were transferred over to Hermes, the two of which were likely originally the same deity. He is the god of ways and byways, a guide on the journey, a protector of flocks, a watcher of who and what goes where, one who can scamper up any slope with the ease of a goat.
His cult was established in Greece in remote regions, likely making him originally a god of nature, farmers, and shepherds. It is also possible that since the beginning he has been a deity with shamanic attributes linked to divination, reconciliation, magic, sacrifices, and initiation and contact with other planes of existence, a role of mediator between the worlds of the visible and invisible.
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pan is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, rustic music, and companion of the nymphs. He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun or satyr. He is also recognized as the god of fields, groves, wooded glens, and is connected to fertility and the season of spring. Being a rustic god, Pan was not worshipped in temples or other built edifices, but in natural settings, usually caves or grottoes. His archaic father is Zeus and a nymph named Hybris. Where in the Roman sense as Faunus he played a role in the Lupercalia. Together with the Sovereignty Goddess and the Koryos.
