bilby commented on the word green man
"The foliate head and the Green Man are traditional forms that represent irrepressible life, with the forces of nature merging with humanity. The Green Man appears on countless gothic churches and castles. Similar images, blending a semi-human face with plant and foliage forms, occur in many cultures."
