The Green Man Protector of The Forest -
Original handcrafted design, pyrography and painted on live edge basswood. Preserved with urethane for long lasting beauty. There is only one!
For one he is "Greenman", to another he is "Cernunnos", and to another he is "Freyr". Protector of the forest and animals, insuring that all are abundant. That protection is aided by the fey, fairies, dwarves, landvaettir and the forest itself.
There is spirit energy in all things. The land, the grasses, trees, stones, animals, birds, rodents, insects all have a vibration and energy. When one is dis-eased the others are impacted. When one is attacked, the others respond. It is s symbiotic unit of life which we used to be part of. Our ancestors taught the value of all the components in a forest. You did not enter fairy rings. You did not remove a stone or wood or harvest herbs without asking permission and leaving a gift. They taught that you must recognize the spirit within and honor it. Animals retailer were not harvested for sport but to answer practical need and the animal was honored in its giving. Meat, bones, hides, and horns were all put to use by skilled craftsman. There was no waste. Even entrails were given to the scavengers.
Walking in the forest, feet on the land, ears attentive and spirit open....you can hear them....the whispering sprits of the forest. May this become a declaration and remembrance that returns us to ancient ways.
