Pan and Satan
By:
Post # 1
After the Christian church portrayed Pan as Satan. Pan's image lived on in medieval depictions of Satan. The Devil was often shown to have the horns and lower body of a goat, goatish lust being his prime power.
A common superstition in the Middle Ages was that goats whispered lewd sentences in the ears of the saints. The origin of this belief was probably the behavior of the buck in rut, the very epitome of lust. The Black Mass, a probably-mythological ''Satanic mass'', was said to involve a black goat, the form in which Satan supposedly manifested himself for worship.
Pan has had a lingering connection with Devil Worship and Satanism even into modern times. The upside down pentagram, a symbol used in Satanism, is said to be shaped like a goat's head. The ''Baphomet? refers to a Satanic goat-like figure revived in 19th century occultism.
