Pan, Satyr god of Wine, Song and Sex
Pan is considered to be one of the oldest of the fey gods. He is associated with nature, wooded areas and fey-pastures, from which his name is derived. The worship of Pan began in rustic areas of the fey wild where the first songs were sung and the first dances where performed. It was said that from voice and laughter came an echo, that echo soon took the form of half a male nymph and half a goat and thus the first of the Satyrs were born. Those who worship Skerrit, centaur and satyr god of nature widely criticise this saying that Skerrit himself forged the first Satyr to be the protects of natures balance - this is often a contenscious topic amongst satyrs.
Pan's following grew far far from the populated fey courts, and therefore, he did not have large temples built to worship him. He preferred it this way, as he was not one for structure or organisation. Rather, worship of Pan was very easy to follow and a lot of fey creatures prayed to him sometimes without even knowing it, acts of excess often by ways of eating and drinking pleased Pan grately and he would often grant his followers a boon of constitution to continue their drink or sexual exploration after a large banquet or feast. Because of this, Pans interests resonated heavily with other creatures of the fey and soon his devout followers grew, throwing feasts, parties and festivals in his honour. Events of joy, laughter and excess are held in the highest of regard for Pan, he is also especially fond of intimate moments between drunken lovers or even fleeting romances and encourages his followers to explore their own sexual needs and desires.
In a lot of texts regarding pan he often encourages a non-monogamous lifestyle encouraging sex as one of the most exploratory and indulgent desires his worshippers can partake in.
Depiction
Pan is often seen as a tall slender Satyr, with piercing green eyes, curly chocolatey brown hair and well maintained facial hair, holding his signature pan flute and always in a pose of merriment.
Holy Day
There is no one holy day of pan, however any festival with song and dance is often said to attract his praise and attention.
