He is called the Green Man, a mysterious being long associated with nature, and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. His face is everywhere, covered in leaves and foliage with eyes ever staring, as if peering into your very soul. Though he is widespread across Europe, and more ancient than Rome, little is known of this figure, who he really is or what his purpose is. Could he be some ancient god of life and nature? Is he an abstract concept of the natural world given a human face? Is he just an artistic motif that has been glorified in recent times?
