Jack in the Green

Jack-in-the-Green.

Jack-in-the-Green is a mysterious nature spirit that sometimes appears in the land of Gallantaria.[1] He is allied with the the deities the Earth-Mother and the Horned God.[2] It is said that Jack-in-the Green "serves as a messenger" for sentient elemental forces.[3]

It is thought by some that Jack-in-the-Green is a possible alternate name for the god Atlan.[4]

However, some scholars believe this name actually refers to Logaan, the Trickster god. Jack-in-the-Green has acted as a messenger between Titan and heroes. Also, he describes himself as the "Ancient King". [5] He could be referring to the King of Atlantis before the First Battle, explaining how that land got its name. However, in Gallantaria, where this Messenger is revered, there are barrows that are said to be the burial mounds of the Ancient Kings of that area.

When Jack-in-the-Green has been seen it is not in the form of a man but rather as the image of a face seemingly formed by the wind in the grass or in the leaves of a bush or a tree.[6]

The word "Cerunnos" is important to Jack-in-the-Green.[7]

See Also[]

  • It can be argued that Jack-in-the-Green has a lot in common with the appearance of the Green Men as it is reported by some sources.[8]

Further Notes[]

  • Jack-in-the-Green is named after "Jack in the Green", a wooden costume covered with foliage, that was worn by participants in eighteenth and nineteenth century English parades and dances. "Jack in the Green" was especially associated with May Day, and celebrations to welcome the arrival of summer.
