It's kinda ironic. I got into paganism because I needed a more feminine aspect of the Deity, yet of late it's been the God that calls me.
We have a Green Man on the wall of the study now. Dollface was curious, so we reviewed the aspects of the God: Green Man, Horned God, Oak King, Holly King. She loved the song "Hymn to Herne:"
So we went looking for pictures of Herne.
And we found This Picture. (link NWS) Oh My GOD...which is rather the idea.
It gives a whole new meaning to "Blessed are the Children of the Horned One!"
And so we looked for pictures of the Green Man. Dollface found some of the foliate heads a little scary. Ours isn't because he's merry.
But then we found this: http://www.iupui.edu/graphics/greenman.jpg
He's Dollface's Green Man, the handsome boy that the Maiden Goddess loves.
Just as the Horned One is the beautiful bridegroom of Beltane and the handsome husband of Summer.
We've been working through A Witch's Primer: Grade One together and we're both learning a lot.
