Mini Candle - Green Man Blessing Our Price: £6.00

Click to enlarge One of the Green Man's manifestations was as Robin of the Hood, the Lord of the Merry Greenwood. He was the Lord of the Hunt, Lord of Misrule as well as the King of the Wood. His lady was Maid Marion (often called Mary) and thus the Merry Men become Mary's Men and Morris Dancers who danced on May Day got their name not from the Morriscoes but from Mary - as they were Mary's dancers and their dances when they leap into the air are a symbol of Life triumphing over death.
