Earliest art of Pan!
Thanks to @thegrapeandthefig for finding this for me! : )
We’ve all seen Pan depicted as a satyr, so when I read that the first depiction of Pan was of him as a goat I really wanted to see what that looked like (this is from “The cult of Pan in ancient Greece” by Borgeaud btw). Anyway, here it is! I thought I would share it here in case anyone else was interested!
Here’s a picture that shows the other stuff around him
This is from 500—490 BCE and was found in Arcadia (Pan’s origin) it was probably painted by an Attic craftsman. The paper states that this was a representation of a demonic Pan but I’m not sure what that means exactly. Ofc Pan wasn’t generally considered a demon (and what that word means for ancient Greeks is probably different than what it means to us today). And if someone who knows more about this has something to add I’d love to hear it! Anyway yeah! Pan is cool and this is literally the earliest art of him that we still have today and I think that’s pretty neat!
Sources below also as always if I got anything wrong please let me know : )

By the way,,
I wanna say thank you to all the people who responded with kind words and messages on my previous rant post about Witchtok. I didn't intend for my break to take so long, but with everything that's been going on, my mental health has been making most things in my life difficult. It's been a major blockage in a lot of areas in my life, especially my spiritual path. but I'm glad to say that despite this new little issue with Witchtok I'm really back! I've missed posting here and I've missed the community of witches on here that really know how to help me feel sane haha. Since I've left, a surprising amount of people have decided to follow this blog so I guess this is hello for you all too! ❀♡

My dumbass an hour ago: You know, things have been really quiet with Witchtok as of late, and I hear a lot of them chose to collectively put energy work into activist efforts like Black Lives Matter! Perhaps the community of Witchtok just needed some time to get it's act together! Yeah maybe it's time I lighten up and come out of my internet hiatus already!
Witchtok: WE HEXED THE MOON.
My dumbass:
#i really should've known better#but i never learn now do i#this whole thing is so ridiculous#things on tiktok tend to always blow out of proportion but this is just silly#it's bizarre to me that there are veteren witches on tiktok that are like...actually worried about this hurting the moon deities#i don't worship Artemis or Selene so i can't speak on how they'd really feel but this just seems stupid

Vent/Rant post about Witchtok idk
Tw: CSA/Grooming mention
((TLDR: Witchtok seemed fun at first but pretty soon showed a very ugly side of itself that puts kids in danger. Meanwhile 'experienced' witches are out there are putting dangerous misinformation about religious practices. +Also a personal rant about how this whole thing has put me off from talking about my own practices with Pan.))
I've been a somewhat active "tiktoker" for a few months. I only really posted videos of my artwork and whatnot to sort of gain some traction and sell commissions, which was great! I met a lot of really cool people, and made some really sweet friends within the small community of artists on tiktok... And then I found the Witchtok tag.
At first I was uniquely excited, it was really cool to see other witches actively show off how proud they were of their craft and their religious practices. I saw lots of pretty good advice, and for me at least, it was absolutely wonderful to see how different and unique each person experienced their craft. I feel stupid now in hindsight for thinking this, but I genuinely felt something with how fun and welcoming Witchtok seemed to be.
And then all of sudden it became a fucking train wreck. There are lots of things wrong with Witchtok: Cultural appropriation, online harassment, misinformation, people throwing around hexing accusations with no proof, etc etc. A lot of really dumb shit. At first I was able to ignore it, because surely people will be smart enough to do their own research and not trust some random person on tiktok about entire religions, right? And then I realized how dumb I was for thinking that. There are people on Witchtok touting themselves as being experienced witches who are experts in everything spiritual, and beginning practitioners are going to naturally look up to them as positions of authority to consult on matters that they might not even be in the position to be consultants of. So many of these people are actual children too, and its become a very scary situation with how out of control it has become. I think the breaking point for me was the issues surrounding that,,, "Medusa" tiktoker who began trying to groom minors for illicit photos. I just couldn't do it anymore with Witchtok, that was too much. It already hurt a lot to see so many experienced witches actively condemn and shame children for not knowing better, but that entire thing just proved to me that too many people within the Witchtok community DO NOT CARE about protecting or educating each other. They all just want to one up each other in this imaginary game of who's the most correct, meanwhile AN ONLINE CULT WAS LITERALLY BEGINNING TO FORM, I'M JUST,, AT A LOSS FOR WORDS.
There's so much to unpack, especially from my perspective as a Hellenic Pagan who's worshiping Pan. I'm going to get quite personal but it's been on my mind and I need to share it for my own sake. Up until recent events, I was beginning to consider participating in the Witchtok community because I really do enjoy sharing things about my path, especially my relationship with Pan. I love sharing the things that I learn, and I want to record all of it as I go, so that one day I can look back and see how far I've come in my journey. My time with Pan has not only helped me grow spiritually, but my overall outlook on the world around me has changed for the better. To illustrate better what I mean by this, I am a CSA survivor, and for most of my life, sex fulfilment and healthy love were things I fundamentally believed I didn't deserve. By the time I approached adulthood, I had already accepted that I would never be able to enjoy sex or feel the kind of love I wanted. Pan at this point has obviously proven me wrong. He helped work through my trauma, he taught me that sex can not only be safe but exciting, and he showed me that my body isn't something to be ashamed of. Needless to say, my relationship with a deity heavily associated with sex and fertility is OBVIOUSLY intimate.
So it really fucking hurts when I see my fellow pagan peers tell me that my relationship with Pan isn't real, and that my practices based on tradition that I spent MONTHS researching before I started is just me being a 'stupid baby witch.' Or worse when people tell me that I should FEAR my God, my God who has done nothing but treat me with kindness and love throughout my entire time with him. Or even worse, when people who think that because they read up on a little mythology, they can tell me my God is a r*pist, and that I'm wrong for having a close and friendly bond with him. It's almost laughable how so much of what Witchtok considers to be "the right way to worship deities" is exactly what Pan would've hated if I behaved the way they deem to be correct.
Pan would HATE it if I was never friendly and comfortable around him. He is known for having a unique sense of humor, why wouldn't his followers be able to do the same? Obviously there are boundaries, but any deity including Pan will set up said boundaries when necessary. He loves when his followers are silly and playful! He loves when we explore ourselves in ways that are happy and healthy, whether spiritually, sexually, or physically! He loves when we let ourselves loosen up and forget about our chains, even for just a moment! If I talked at all about my practices with him I can guarantee Witchtok would eat me alive. To be honest, I wouldn't put it past them if the collective opinion of Witchtok was that he's dead because it says so in myth.
In retrospect, I'm very glad I chose to stay away from Witchtok, not only would I not be welcome, but children are watching. I feel like not enough people are thinking of that, and that's terrifying. I can't imagine how guilty I'd feel if I put something out there that was misinformed, or even DANGEROUS, and kids were seeing it. I just couldn't bear it. As an artist I'll continue to post videos on tiktok exclusively about my art, but I can't in good conscience post anything there regarding my religious practices. Which honestly saddens me, so much of my practice involves me drawing and painting works involving what Pan looks like to me, and I would've loved to show off that artwork had it not been for the absolute shit show I've been exposed to.
So in conclusion, Witchtok is fuckin yikes man.
#tw csa mention#tw csa#tw sensitive material#tw grooming#witchtok#obviously of course not every single individual person on tiktok giving advice on spirituality is bad/wrong#but there comes a point where something may be more harm than good#sorry for the negativity#and the absolute monster of a post this is#i just needed to let it out#witchtok has really ruined the term 'baby witch' for me#im going to bed rant over lmao

Here’s my second clay phallus. This one is especially consecrated to Dionysus alone (the first one is still there, but I dedicated it to Pan and Priapus too). Anyway, my ambition for this one is to invest in some gold leaves and gild it up.

Orange Sweet Rolls
I was looking for a way to add a little love and luck into my week. What better way to bring in the warm fuzzies than orange sweet rolls? I made these entirely from scratch, so they were a little time-consuming, but it was totally worth it.
Ingredients
Dough
3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package instant yeast
¾ cups almond milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 orange (about 3 tablespoons juice and 1 tablespoon zest)
Cinnamon Filling
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar
Rest of zest
Orange Icing
1 ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar
Rest of orange juice
About two teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast together. Set aside
Heat almond milk and butter together until butter is completely melted. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until it forms a soft dough
The dough should not stick and should bounce back when poked with finger. If not, continue adding flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s no longer sticky
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 1 minute. Place in a lightly greased bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes in fridge.
After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a rectangle. Mix softened butter, cinnamon, sugar, and orange zest. Spread over the dough as evenly as possible.
Roll the dough up tightly. Cut into 10-12 rolls and place into greased muffin pan or onto greased baking pan
Loosely cover rolls with plastic wrap or towel and allow to rise for about 90 minutes
Once the rolls have doubled, preheat oven to 375. Bake for 20 minutes, covering with tinfoil halfway through.
Glaze
Whisk sugar, remaining orange juice, and cinnamon together until smooth. Drizzle over rolls (or just double the recipe glaze recipe and drown them like I did)
