Green Man Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Green Man is a symbol of uncertain origin common in the British Isles. Classic examples are most frequently found among the stonework in and on churches, though it is more likely pagan in nature. It depicts a man with foliage for hair, usually with either a leafy beard or with leaves growing out of his mouth and nose. A similar nature spirit is the wild man of the woods, the woodwose.
Other possible references to him are Green George, Jack-in-the-Green, and the Green Knight.
The image of the Green Man is popular with modern Wiccans and other Neopagans.
