Green Man

Well I went for Extreme Wordless Wednesday yesterday by not posting at all.

This evening is the start of Easter which is apparently named after the pagan goddess Eostre (Latin: Oestre), an Anglo-Saxon maiden-goddess of fertility. I was chatting about this today and how so much of the season has pagan derivations (the hot cross buns, the bunny and so forth).

And we are on our way towards the mystery of the Green Man appearing as a lord of mis-rule alongside the sprouting of new leaves.
