The Green Man is a pre–Christian symbol found carved into the wood and stone of pagan temples and graves, of medieval churches and cathedrals, and used as a Victorian architectural motif, across an area stretching from Ireland in the west to Russia in the east. Although commonly perceived as an ancient Celtic symbol, in fact its origins and original meaning are shrouded in mystery. The name dates back only to 1939, when folklorist Lady Raglan drew a connection between the foliate faces in English churches and the Green Man (or "Jack of the Green") tales of folklore.
The evocative name has been widely adopted, but the legitimacy of the connection still remains controversial, with little real evidence to settle the question one way or the other. Earliest known examples of the foliate head (as it was known prior to Lady Raglan) date back to classical Rome — yet it was not until this pagan symbol was adopted by the Christian church that the form fully developed and proliferated across Europe. Most folklorists conjecture that the foliate head symbolized mythic rebirth and regeneration, and thus became linked to Christian iconography of resurrection. (The Tree of Life, a virtually universal symbol of life, death and regeneration, was adapted to Christian symbolism in a similar manner.)
Magicians, wizards, witches, sorcerers, and fairies all know that to give their magical powers a boost, they need a magic wand. These thin, hand-held devices were said to be the source of magic or, at the very least, served as a distraction away from a sleight-of-hand.

Let customers speak for us
Well, it’s well-known that older skin and doggy paws don’t play nice together. My left arm got scratched pretty bad and several wanted to go haven’t checked. Instead, I trusted Hey Boo which I’m grateful for. I use it for just about any injury now bite or open skin and it has been fantastic.
When the Charka was made available, I took time to review and make the initial choices. I opted for Heart, Root and Third Eye. It was one of my best decisions. I feel more confident and grounded in my own world for once. The negative energy around me is not penetrating and I am feeling stronger in what my own needs are. Strange that I can finally be calm and strong enough to know what my own needs are.
I have been using a lip balm that Angel sold, and the company went out of business. I was milking my last stick. I had them all over the place. #lipbalmaddict. I bought this this past weekend am in love. Even better than the other one I have used for years. Super soft, glides on easily, last for a long time, great sent and my lips are super moist. 💕
Love that it doesn’t taste weird in my drink! It’s a great addition to the super line, love taking it daily.
Absolutely love this, perfect for ingrown hairs!
beautiful quality smoky quartz
I've never used a magnesium spray before, I will not be without it now. Not scented helps me sleep and calms me
One of my favorite stones on my alter.
It's so me, I only wish it was bigger
I have been searching for this scent in a jasmine perfume for over 10 years. This is the perfect jasmine scent!
I love this shampoo. It makes my hair feel softer and light. It was an excellent buy.
I decided to give this a try. I have tiny wrinkles on my eyes. This oil almost seems like a miracle. Around your eyes the skin is very delicate. I found this soothing. You notice the difference in just a few days. It’s a wonderful product that is noticeable by others. It’s a guilty secret.
I had been really struggling with constant aching. I saw a review of this and decided to check it out for myself. The result was almost immediate relief. I’m sorry I waited so long to try it.
If you never trusted the fit of Yoga pants, I didn't and now I do. I had to jump right back online after wearing them and get additional colors of the Bella Performance Leggings. Typically, leggings are too short for me and not only is the actual fit is perfect, but the length is spot on! Dress them up or dress them down for home or out of town. I am in love with these!
Smells good and feel super confident that the bugs will stay away!!
