Celtic - ♠ Pagan Roots

Druidry The Celts venerated certain trees. The Celts were animists, believing that all aspects of the natural world contained spirits, and that communication was possible with these spirits. Druidry Druidry is a form of modern spirituality or religion that generally promotes harmony and worship of nature, and respect for all beings, including the environment. The core principle of Druidry is respect and veneration of nature, and as such it often involves participation in the environmental movement.

The Green Man. The image of the Green Man, a face, almost always male, associated with leaves, is an ancient symbol of our unity with Nature.

The Green Man

This symbol is now understood in an explicit way that was never before possible. Its use in the past seems to have been entirely intuitive: no written account of the image has yet beef found from any culture. The idea of the Green Man is a modern perception of the identity between several cultural strands: the carved images in churches, temples and folk art, a group of early tree legends, the folk customs involving a figure clad in leaves, usually Spring regeneration customs, the concept of the "wild man", ancient survivors living in the forests, the Robin Hood stories, the Gawain and the Green Knight story, and the English inns that gave given their name to the whole group of cultural strands.

These strands are not causally linked, and their association may be denied, but a common derivation in human psychology may, to some, be useful. IRISH LITERATURE, MYTHOLOGY, FOLKLORE, AND DRAMA. Irish Writers OnlineIrish PlayographyStudy Ireland: Poetry - BBCIrish Women Writers - M.
