“There is, I think, a hint of the nature worshiper in King Charles.”
It’s a nice-looking card. But it’s causing some drama. The most prominent feature on it—which is also the feature prompting said drama—is a green, human-like face, transforming at its edges into a jumble of foliage, crowned in primrose and narcissus.Central to the design is the motif of the Green Man, an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign.
It all goes back to an article that appeared in the journal of the Folklore Society in 1939, written by Lady Raglan, who was a prominent folklorist at the time. She came up with this ingenious argument, but it’s not an argument that any scholar would ever go with today.Churches, cathedrals, and abbeys have these figures that pop up from time to time: It’s a humanoid face with either leaves coming out of its mouth or face, or biting down on leaves, or being consumed by leaves.
