This book traces the ancient Greek God Pan, who became distorted
into the image of the Devil in early Christianity. When Pan was
demonized, the powerful qualities he represented became repressed,
as Pan's visage twisted into the model of the Devil. The book
follows a Jungian analysis of this development. In ancient Greek
religion, Pan was worshipped as an honored deity, corresponding to
an inner psycho-spiritual condition in which the primitive
qualities he represented were fully integrated into consciousness,
and these qualities valued and affirmed as holy. But in the era of
early Christianity Pan "dies," and the Devil is born, a twisted
inflation, possibly due to an underlying repression. In the Jungian
system, repressed psychic contents do not disappear, as proponents
of the new order tacitly assume, but distort and grow more
powerful, or "inflate," to cripple the psyche that refuses to
incorporate these split-off elements. Repressed contents will
expand to explosive force as the repressed elements eventually
return regressively from below. It becomes important then, to
understand what qualities the primitive Goat God carried, to
appreciate what was repressed in the Western psycho-spiritual
system, and what subsequently needs reintegration.
