The God
The Green Man is the ever-returning energy of vegetation and wild Nature. His magic is celebrated througout the world, but he is most often associated with northern Europe and Celtic cultures.
The great cathedrals of Europe are adorned with thousands of GreenMan gargoyles and carvings. The Dark-Ages, the Middle-Ages and the Renaissance saw European indigenous religions and Nature under constant attack by the christian church.
During the church's most virulent wars on the people's belief in the sanctity of Nature, stone masons carved images of the GreenMan and Sheela-Na-Gig into christian cathedrals as part of the ornamentation. The presence of the GreenMan and the Sheela-Na-Gig remained strong and constant source of strength to the people. The GreenMan's image silently echoed the spirit of the Sacred Cycles of Nature.
