Episode 221: The Green Man

Welcome back, Witches! This week, we're exploring the mysterious Green Man—a timeless figure rooted in folklore, nature, and the cycles of growth, death, and rebirth. We'll uncover his origins, symbolism, connection to the changing seasons, and place in modern witchcraft, plus ways to bring his wild, leafy magic into your own practice. So get in, Loser, because we're getting a little green, a little feral, and heading straight into the forest!
