New designs for the Green Man abound even today. Here are a couple that caught my eye, with their intricate graphic quality and precision. Q. Cassetti is an graphic designer living in New York. She has a large body of work, and many awards to her credit. See more of her work on her website: www.qcassetti.com

A Riddle
I am born on May Morning – by sticks, bells, and ribbons I am the sap – in the dark root
I am the dancer – with his six fools
I am the tump – behind the old church
I am the lost soul – under the misericord
I am the oak – against the stars
I am the face – that peers through the leaves
I am the fear – in a child’ s mind
I am the demon – on the roof-boss
I am killed in October – and laid on church altars
I am the guiser – on the bright bonfire
I am the old grain – sown with the seed
I am the flame – in the pumpkin ‘ s grin
I am the spirit – in the kern-baby’s bosom
Phill Lister 1982, from English Folk Church
