The Green Man




The Green Man is a pagan symbol that is commonly associated with nature-based religions such as Wicca, Druidry, and other pagan traditions. The Green Man is often seen as a symbol of the cycles of nature and the interconnectedness of all things, and is associated with the energy of growth, fertility, and abundance.

In pagan cultures, the Green Man is often associated with Litha, the summer solstice a time when the days are longest and the sun is at its strongest. The Green Man represents the power of the sun and the renewal of life that comes with it.



 In Celtic mythology, the Green Man is often associated with the god Cernunnos, who is the lord of the forest and the patron of animals and fertility. In some stories, the Green Man is said to be a manifestation of Cernunnos himself.

Four Leaf Clover

The four leaves represent hope, faith, love and luck. This is the most common belief.

The druids are said to have believed clovers had magical powers. They used them in their ceremonies for their protective abilities. 

Many believe it to have originated in Ireland, where it was considered a sacred symbol of the Celtic god Dagda. It was also associated with the Celtic goddess of love and beauty, Arianrhod.

Bog Oak comes from ancient forests that once covered Ireland. Huge Oak trees have been buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the acidic and anaerobic bog conditions, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. The wood is usually stained black by tannin dissolved in the acidic water. Bog-wood represents the early stages in the fossilization of wood, with further stages ultimately forming lignite and coal over a period of many millions of years.
King of the forest for its strength and longevity, the Oak tree was sacred to the ancient Celts and is considered one of the three primary magical woods.

Light and elegant, this bog oak wood necklace is suitable for both everyday wear and for that special occasion.
It is the perfect gift for anyone with Irish heritage or for someone who resonates with the Celtic mythology and traditions of the natural world.
