Green Man Pendant $20.99
The image of the Green Man can be seen on various buildings, and churches throughout Europe, and has been a popular Celtic symbol of new growth and human existence since the dark ages.
In the Celtic culture, Green Man was hailed as the symbol of natural cycle of mortal life - birth, life, death, and decay. To Christians it is this cycle that the soul can overcome, with Faith. To some others the cycle continues - from decay back to the soil, to food from the soil, back into life - a symbol so well represented by Green Man.
Present-day Western pagan thought identifies the Green Man as the symbol of the qualities of godhood, with its relationship with the transcendent life-force.
Green Man has also been compared to the Robin Hood - the robber and hero dressed in green - he attains godlike status and links with the Horned God Herne.
Comes with a 36" cord, accent bead and booklet. 2" tall.
