Editing Pan (god) (section)

=== Revived worship ===
In the English town of [[Painswick]] in [[Gloucestershire]], a group of eighteenth-century gentry, led by Benjamin Hyett, organised an annual procession dedicated to Pan, during which a statue of the deity was held aloft, and people shouted "Highgates! Highgates!" Hyett also erected temples and follies to Pan in the gardens of his house and a "Pan's lodge", located over Painswick Valley. The tradition died out in the 1830s, but was revived in 1885 by a new vicar, W. H. Seddon, who mistakenly believed that the festival had been ancient in origin. One of Seddon's successors, however, was less appreciative of the pagan festival and put an end to it in 1950, when he had Pan's statue buried.<ref>Hutton, Ronald.

Occultists [[Aleister Crowley]] and [[Victor Benjamin Neuburg |Victor Neuburg]] built an altar to Pan on Da'leh Addin, a mountain in Algeria, where they performed a magic ceremony to summon the god. In the final rite of the 1910 ritual play [[Rites of Eleusis |''The Rites of Eleusis'']], written by Crowley, Pan "pulls back the final veil, revealing the child Horus, who represents humanity's eternal and divine element."<ref name=":1" />
