Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch

Of mossy apple tree….

Green Woman - Green man wall plaque
Resin Green Man Wall Plaque

Size - 5 ins. x 5 ins. (12.7cm x 12.7cm)

This symbol is a novel variation on the very male concept of the Greenman. David Lawrence made the original sketch for this years ago as the logo for a ‘mixed’ Morris (English folk dance) team (i.e. male & female dancers, which is uncommon - it’s normally an all male sport). It seemed an appropriate visual pun to extend the concept of a god of the countryside to incorporate a female aspect- and that the Greenwoman should be ‘invented’ to reflect the female nature of the troupe. Some green magic must have lain in the symbol as three of the (female) dancers were pregnant within a couple of months!

Although there are very few ‘Greenwomen’ as such in literature or in traditional imagery a female ‘green’ spirit is to be found in most cultures - Dionysus, Ghaia, etc.

This wonderful figure was designed, sculpted and manufactured in England, using resin-bonded Marble, Terracotta or Cotswold stone.

Oak - Green man wall plaque
Resin Green Man Wall Plaque

Size - 5 ins. x 5 ins. (12.7cm x 12.7cm)

The ‘Greenman’ can be seen as a motif for the Spirit found in the cult of tree worship from Neolithic times onwards - he was the ‘Spirit of the Greenwood’.

Until relatively recently many villages possessed a ‘Dancing Oak’ around which the populace would cavort on seasonal celebrations, (originally as a preamble to a communal mating!).

The idea of the Sacred Tree and Sacred Grove haunts the religions of the temperate western world and this is reflected in the ‘Greenman Oak’. There is also a possible connection with the Celtic ‘cult of the head’ - it was believed the soul and spirit resided in the head and could be thus captured - the severed heads of vanquished enemies being placed in niches of barrows & fougous (underground chambers) and revered and consulted.

This wonderful wall plaque was designed, sculpted and manufactured in England, using resin-bonded Terracotta or Cotswold stone. Modern moulding techniques faithfully reproduce the intricate and painstaking work of the sculptor whilst giving the appearance of real carved stone or sculpted terracotta.

Garland Woman - Green man wall plaque
Resin Wall Plaque - "Garland Woman"

Size - 5.5 ins. x 5.5 ins. (14 cm x 14 cm)

And yet, even in this age of glass and steel, of light and speed it is possible to find a very few corners of England where the coming of spring is still celebrated: the release from Winter’s tyranny brings forth dancers on to the green, the Morris Man is seen abroad and ancient rites are re- enacted. Not all are yet ignorant of the Season’s course or forget the Cycle of Life.

On the First of May, in the Cornish village of Padstow, the curios ‘Obby ‘Oss tours the streets: a huge cloth-covered hoop topped by a devilish mask, gyrates to a hypnotic tune and the rhythmic beating of drums. Inside the ‘Oss the youngest of the men take a turn in putting it through its paces while it is lured ever forward by the young girls in a vivid beckoning dance.

Once all would celebrate this season with fertility-related customs dating from a time before there was the Christian ‘Easter’ (whose name itself has its origins in the word ‘Oestrus’ - the time when beasts and fowl are at their most fecund). The traditions of ‘Maying’ and the spring revels of adolescent lads and girls in the groves and woods are lost to the world of today. The phallic maypole was cut down by that hardest hearted hater of fun Oliver Cromwell and now communities rarely meet to affirm the renewal of life.

Most symbolic of this season is the virginal May Queen: surrounded by a Garland of green flowers she is the very essence of the sweetness of youth, the newly opening flower. She has been celebrated from the cult of Dionysis in Ancient Greece (pursued by single minded fauns and satyrs), through the ‘Primavera’ of Renaissance Italy (as painted by Botticelli) to the purity of the ‘Barbi’ doll. The beautiful virgin is the most enduring of images.
