Origin & Lore

The Green Man is the foliate head found in medieval church carvings, a face made of or sprouting leaves. In modern paganism he is honoured as a spirit of nature, growth and the divine masculine.

Carved faces wreathed in leaves peer down from church ceilings all over Europe, and nobody is quite sure what they meant to the stonemasons who made them.

The term Green Man was popularised by a 1939 article in the journal Folklore, and has since become the general name for the leafy faces carved in churches across Britain and Europe.

English May Day customs include Jack in the Green, a dancer hidden inside a tall frame of leaves who leads processions through the streets, a tradition revived in towns such as Hastings.
