Oh, I missed your post, OMJ. I know you have done lots of research on the various myths of the world. So I guess I'm not surprised you know about green man. I think green man is more well-known in your little corner of the world though, isn't he? I really appreciate your and additions to these topics.

Good point about spirit sporting hats if it wants, Chris! I do actually think they are an adornment. I think spirit emulates us (or possibly we copy them) and we like adornments so much ourselves. I haven't figured it all out yet completely why there is a specific hat being shown to me over and over. I know it was the style 200 years ago when this place was colonized and that may have something to do with it. I have noticed that sometimes in the photos I take of my dog that there are spirit emulations around him in the grass or stones that mimic his face in the same exact pose he is in. It is hard to illustrate, and I haven't gotten around to it, but hopefully some day I will make a topic on spirit emulation and find a way to highlight what I am seeing.

It is still quite subjective. I have come to realize that seeing spirit really is scrying. It is like having hundreds of lines or dots all jumbled together and your eye/mind picking out the path that creates the image you are meant to see. It is intentional, and a spirit is definitely there, but its image is also personal and subjective to the viewer. And I hope that explanation is clearer than mud.

Oh, and thanks for your points, Chris. One thing's for sure, I used to think myths were separate from reality. But I have since been educated by those so called myths themselves (fairies, werewolves, dragons, etc.). Why our civilization has moved so far away from the greater reality and knowledge of past civilizations, I can only guess. I tend to think it is a pendulum effect and that the swing is headed back toward understanding the nature of spirit and the other beings that reside along side of us and create reality with us (even if you can't always see them). Just my ... But don't question them!
