About This Design

Beltaine Coaster

Beltaine Coaster

The Green Man is a mystical figure in pagan and Celtic traditions, representing the cyclical renewal and rebirth of nature. He is often depicted as a horned, leafy figure, symbolising the explosive growth and fertility of the earth during spring. As the embodiment of the earth's revitalisation, the Green Man is closely tied to the ancient Celtic festival of Beltaine, celebrated on 1 May. The Green Man is a symbolic and mysterious figure that appears in the iconography of various Gothic churches throughout Europe, particularly in England, France, and Germany. This enigmatic character is often depicted as a male figure, usually with leaves, vines, or foliage for hair, and sometimes his face or body is also covered with leaves or greenery. The Green Man's presence in Gothic churches is often found in stone carvings, wood carvings, or stained glass windows. He may be depicted in various guises, such as a horned figure, a figure sprouting leaves from his mouth or nose, or as a more sinister character with a grotesque face. During Beltaine, the Green Man was honoured through rituals and ceremonies, including the Maypole dance, which symbolised the union of masculine and feminine energies. His presence was believed to facilitate this union, ensuring the fertility of the land and the people. As a symbol of regeneration and rebirth, the Green Man remains an enduring figure in Celtic lore, inspiring a deep appreciation for the natural world. His association with Beltaine serves as a reminder of the importance of honouring the natural world and respecting the delicate balance of the seasons.

Beautiful horse drawing on this coaster makes it a great conversation piece. Artist is very talented! The printing Zazzle did is nice and crisp, but not as black as I would have liked and the edges had some execess on them But some sandpaper fixed the issue
