The Green Man is that spirit, energy, presence, inherent in every cell 
of the vegetative realm, and transmitted to the animal/human realms through the foods we eat, the flowers we smell, the trees we hug. The green man is a powerful symbol representing the consciousness of life within the plant kingdom. The Classical image of the Green man features a figure in lush leaves. He is often depicted with just a face, which looks very much like a leafy mask. The Green man is a symbol of enduring life throughout the seasons of the year. Even when winter covers the land in snow and trees are bare, he rests unseen in winter's embrace.
We chose the name Green Man Leather as alot of our products are intended for those who work and maintain and love the earth! We use enviromentally friendly dyes and non toxic Sheen/leather protecters.
In the spring, the Green man reminds us that life is ever renewing. His spirit is the tenacity of the life force itself. The summer speaks to us of growth and fullness as the green man covers the earth with lush plant life. In the fall he calls upon us to let go of everything that no longer serves us. It is a time to release burdens and prepare for transformation. When winter is upon us the Green man withdraws into nature, where he rests in the darkness of procreation.
The idea that the Green man spirit is with us throughout the Wheel of the year is a powerful concept. He teaches us the importance of embracing and uniting with not only each season of nature, but also each season of the soul. The Green man is the umbilical cord to the inner forces of the mortal world and the underworld.
