Origin & Lore

The Green Man is the name given to the foliate head, a face made of or sprouting leaves, found carved in churches and buildings across Europe. Modern pagans took him as an image of the wild green life of the woods. Green Man oil is used to honour that spirit, to work with trees and in workings of growth and renewal.

Carved faces made of leaves stare down from medieval church roofs across Europe, and nobody wrote down exactly why.

Foliate heads appear in Roman art and in European churches from the medieval period onward. The figure is linked in English folklore with Jack in the Green, a leaf-covered figure who danced in May Day processions. Modern pagan practice has made the Green Man a wider symbol of woodland and growth.
