The god Pan was in love with the chaste nymph Syrinx. She sought help from her fellow river-nymphs. She was transformed into reeds, a plant with a hollow stem. The reeds made a strong sound when the angry Pan was breathing upon them. He cut them and invented the syrinx (pan-flute).

Very strong bucolic and small town psychometric reads, plus some personal reads. Might just be the coin you carried back then!
