Greenman

412-615

$22.00

The Green man is our 'Protector of Nature' and the 'Spirit of the Environment.'
This Environmental Talisman helps you commune with Nature,
protects against "losing one's way outdoors" and wards off any aggression from Wild Animals.

    Artistically he is most often sculptured in the form of a full-faced head with leaves
and tendrils growing from his features and hair.
One of the earliest known examples of this type of foliate face is carved on a tomb in France
and dates back to 400 AD. The ancient Celts worshipped the land and it is possible that the true
origins of the Green Man stem from this source. However, similar figures are to be found in India,
ancient Babylon and Islamic art. In medieval and later periods countless thousands of Green Men were carved
and painted as part of the ornamentation of many, if not most, of the churches and other important buildings.

Lucky Gargoyle

412-613

$18.00

“Lucky Gargoyle” … Gothic cathedrals are often adorned with Demonic Sculptures which await
only a rainstorm to spit upon passers-by. These gargoyles guarded their buildings by keeping away real demons,
often sticking their tongues out at them for added protection.
Church fathers placed these images on cathedrals to guard against the much feared Demons of Medieval times.

   Affording the same protection given to Gothic cathedrals,
this pendant will Keep Negative Forces Away and insure Good Luck to all those who wear it.
