Pan – the archetypical blueprint for Satan/Devil – whose ‘flute’ supposedly instilled Panic and Fear into all those who heard it.
In Greek mythology and in the ancient Greek psyche, Pan was associated with the darker side of Nature, and even human nature, as he was paired with things like nightmares and sexual violence. As he is bearded, hairy and beastlike, he is the archetypal wildman, representing wild instinctive energy, uncontrollable instincts. This debauched, short-tempered, rural god has bound up within him all of the darker aspects of ourselves. Pan is the embodiment, the personification of our dark human nature.
Pan is all about Nature, instincts and natural experiences so he also signifies a way to our spiritual side, to spiritual enlightenment through concrete physical experiences rather than just through examining things with our intellect. In our civilized way of life on our way to progress we often forget about Nature and our natural, instinctual side.
So in the notion of panic, in the actual physical and emotional state of panic, Pan is revealing himself with the wisdom of Nature, showing us this wild side of ourselves. As "civilized" beings we don't necessarily like this darker side of our human nature and want to hide from it, run from it - we panic.
In fact, we fear this aspect of ourselves so much that we have demonized it with our new religions. Pan, being so wild and bestial, became the Christian perception of the Devil. Our modern, popular, Christian notion of what the Devil looks like equates with the ancient Greek god Pan: goat-like legs, hooves, and horns, shaggy appearance and wild looks. Christian religion tells us that the Devil is pure evil so it is denying these natural, instinctual aspects of ourselves, aspects that can also lead us to a spiritual union with God, the Great Spirit, the Divine Presence, or whatever else you prefer to call it.

The biblical 2nd Coming is when all are raised from the dead and judged. Therefore, every man woman and child who has died (especially in the last 2,000 years) has NOT ascended to heaven. They remain in their graves awaiting the “resurrection” to be thrown into the firey “hell” for eternal damnation, or float up to heaven and reside with God!! – biblical doctrine sweetened with false promises of immortality.
The Book of Life which mankind is supposedly judged by is nothing more than theft and corruption of a concept from the ancient Kemetians who had a Book of the Dead (Coming forth by Day) where souls were judged in Amenta according to the principles of Ma’at.
