Jack in the Green

from The Ghost Furnace Podcast

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 88 "Jack in the Green" On this week's episode we look at an English folk tradition which takes place during May Day festivals. The history wrapped up in this precision has everything from walking trees to milk maids. Though where it came from and how it evolved is a matter of debate among folklorists. What isn't up for debate, is how much fun it looks like and with its populatory on the rise, it sparks questions about provenance and history's role in modern folklore.
