Cult of the Green Man gathers news and ideas about green issues, green culture, sustainability, ecology, permaculture, and general veriditas related miscellany.

I also love the outdoors, from walking, camping, hunting, fishing, and foraging, to gardening, keeping chucks and Apiary, right through to researching the myths of the green that underpin many of the folk tales told about the British landscape.

Meigle Pictish Stones & The Wild Places
One outcome from visiting the Britain and Ireland’s Wild Places lecture last week was that we found out about the Meigle museum and collection of Pictish stones. Just looking at the photos online shows some spectacular monuments. I can’t believe that I have passed through Meigle many times, possibly thousands, and had no idea that there was [...]
