I read the other day that Pan is one name for the Wiccan god and
goddess.


Pan is a god who is in the Greek pantheon but may even be older than
Wiccan. He is a god of animals, especially sheep and goats, and is
usually shown as a sort of anthropomorphic goat. He has both kindly and
not so kindly attitudes to humans and invented the 'Pan pipes' - a set
of pipes that play the 'primitive' 5-note scale.

The pentatonic scale is still used today in modern music. 

Hence the quote marks around 'primitive'. It does predate Pythagoras.
