E. 146 Polychronicon of King Arthur & the Green Man
from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman
Mark Olly returns to the Garden to appropriately talk about the Green Man because it's a universal symbol of the Earth's anthropomorphic male defender. But first we discuss the Druids and the historical Merlins. Yes, plural. And the relationship with Joseph of Arimathea and a guy named Jesus. We get into the history involving the Greeks, the Romans, the Celts, the Picts, the Saxons, among others. We don't forget the Holy Grail or the concept of giants. Sword in the stone - check. Lady in the Lake - check. Avalon - check. We also get a lesson on what the Green Man and is not.
