Invoke the ancient spirits of the forest with these Hand-Carved Wood Spirit Plaques, masterfully crafted into the likenesses of the Green Man and the Old Man of the Woods. These carvings are not mere decorations; they are living reminders of the seasonal cycles and the deep, wild intelligence of the natural world.
The Green Man: Heart of the Wild
A timeless symbol of rebirth, growth, and the lush vitality of Spring, the Green Man looks out from a mask of verdant leaves. He represents the union between humanity and nature.
Verdant Symbolism: His face is formed entirely from foliage, symbolizing the peak of the life force and the vegetative soul of the earth.
Altar Placement: Ideal for East-facing walls or Ostara and Beltane altars to invite new beginnings and creative abundance into your space.
Organic Craftsmanship: Carved directly into natural wood with the bark still intact, ensuring that the spirit of the tree remains connected to the image.
Old Man of the Woods: The Sage of Winter
With a long, flowing beard that mimics the texture of bark or frost-covered moss, this figure represents the Elder Wisdom found in the quiet, dormant months of the year.
Ancestral Presence: Often associated with the "Holly King" or the hermit-spirit of the deep forest, he is a guardian of hidden knowledge and inner reflection.
Meditative Focus: Use this carving as a focal point for Shadow Work or winter solstice (Yule) rituals to honour the wisdom that comes with age and stillness.
Vertical Totem: Its tall, slender form makes it a perfect guardian for doorways or narrow pillars in your sacred sanctuary.
