The Green Man and the Trees

ents[1]

When discussing the Green Man, conversations often branch out into conversations of the Green Man and trees.  Some thoughts turn to the infamous "Ents" in Tolkien lore, tree people and the worshiping of trees.  An article on Ents can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ent 

This is fabulous renditon from:  http://lawrencegarcia.org/tolkiens-mythology-the-recovery-of-wonder-for-creation/ents1/

Tree people are a world-wide archetype. Much of ancient Celtic and Druid lore is devoted to tree worship.  Here's a link to the "wisdom of trees:" http://merganser.math.gvsu.edu/myth/trees.html
