The greenman has been found in many forms in various places throughout history. He is depicted in many guises and archetypal characters, such as Hern, Pan or Cernunnos, but the most well known is the masculine face covered by a foliage of tree leaves and grasses, very often sprouting from his mouth. He is often found carved in stone masonry or wood in medieval places of worship, such as cathedrals or churches.
The Greenman is a representation and a pagan symbol of rebirth, specially at the time of the Beltane Equinox or the Summer/Winter Solstice. The myth and legend of the Greenman is indicated at the Midsummer Solstice when at this time of highest light, the God, as Oak King, is rich in abundance, but surrenders his reign over to his brother twin, the Holly King. The Oak King and Holly King swap their roles again at the Winter Solstice at time of longest darkness when the Sun is reborn and the days become lighter.

Care Instructions
Application Instructions:
Cosmic-Corner embroidered patches can be stitched or ironed onto a range of items including bags, shirts, hats, pants, skirts, etc. For best results the ‘iron on’ effect works with polycotton (polyester/cotton) fabric mixes for good adhesion. For permanent results stitching patches on by hand with thread is the best and most long lasting way.
Instructions using an Iron:
Step 1: Set your hand iron at the hottest temperature setting. MAKE SURE IRON ISN’T ON STEAM SETTING!!
Step 2: Place your applique or embroidered patch in the desired position and place a pressing cloth, such as a tea towel or pillowcase laying over top.
Step 3: Press the iron straight down for 30 seconds with as much constant pressure as possible without moving it back and forth. Keep checking after 30 seconds to make sure stitches are not melting down. If OK press for a further 15 seconds or more until patch is taking to desired garment.
Step 4: Turn the garment inside-out and repeat steps two & three as above.
Step 5: Allow the applique or embroidered patch to cool down.
‘Iron on’ may not be a permanent solution and hand sowing the patch on although more time consuming is always the best way!
