The Green Man | The History and World of the Oldest Pagan God

Peering from the stone of ancient cathedrals, a mysterious face covered in leaves has watched humanity for centuries. Who is the Green Man? This enigmatic figure, a fusion of humanity and vegetation, is one of the most enduring and powerful symbols in the world, yet his true origins are shrouded in mystery. Join us on a deep dive into the incredible history of the Green Man, a potent symbol of nature's wild spirit. Our documentary journey traces his origins from the misty groves of the Iron Age Celts and the leaf masks of the Roman Empire, to his mysterious and sudden flourishing in the Gothic cathedrals of medieval Europe. Was he a pagan god hiding in plain sight, a remnant of ancient tree worship, or a secret Christian symbol of resurrection? We explore the living folklore of the Jack in the Green and the Wild Man of the Woods, and reveal how one visionary woman, Lady Raglan, finally gave this ancient mystery its modern name in 1939. Finally, we uncover his powerful modern mythology, from his literary form in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to his recent appearance on the coronation invitation of a king, and his rebirth as a profound icon for the environmental movement. #folklore #pagan #mythology
