I've been doing some research on Pan.
He is the god of forests, pastures, flocks, shepherds, and everything connected with pastoral life.
Bees and the coast are also under His protection.
He is both a prophet and a hunter.
He invented the syrinx (shepherd's flute).
He has a fondness for noise and riot.
He is usually worshipped outside in grottoes.
He's well-known for chasing nymphs and startling travellers.
His sacred animals are goats and tortoises (the shells were used for making harps), and His sacred plants are the Corsican pine, the water-reed, and the mountain beech.
For offerings, He likes beef, sheep, milk, honey, music, dancing and poetry. (Tbh honest if you like Greek food then that'd be great to share. Also I've found some great tracks on iTunes of Ancient Greek-inspired music.)
This link has some good hymns to Him also (about halfway down the page or so) - http://www.theoi.com/Georgikos/Pan.html

Please note this is heavy on sexuality so not for kids if you are concerned about that sort of thing.

Thank you so much for sharing your research! I especially liked this article, it was very interesting and informative. I think I shall also look around myself, and share what I find!
