The Green Man is the name given to certain decorative elements on sacred and secular buildings of the Middle Ages which show a male head whose main hair and beard are in the shape of leaves.
The myth of the Green Man dates back to pre-Christian pagan times and survives in the cathedrals of the High and Late Gothic periods, where the Green Man was often depicted as a leafy face in hundreds of sculptures in corners, lintels and plinths.
The Green Man picks up on two Celtic motifs, the head cult, which regarded the head as the bearer of all power, and the mistletoe cult, which Celtic druids cut with a golden sickle to heal illnesses and strengthen the life forces. Both elements, head and plant, are found in the Green Man motif.
