I have a Green Man tattoo on my right shoulder.

What a beautiful and focused meditation on the color green! Growing up in my culture green always represented the fertility of land and abundance of mother nature. It also symbolises fertility, which is the prime reason behind the customary tradition of the bride wearing green bangles on wedding day, in certain regions of India. It is a color of motherhood and there is even a goddess of fertility who is always represented in green saree.

Thank you for this piece Freya! This made me reflect on my own relationship with the color green.

What a lovely collection of green sayings and written pieces. And of course the images. Delightful addition just in time for the wearing of the green on March 17. Thank you.

I love this—green is my favorite color, too, and it deserves this BLUETS-level exploration. I think you might enjoy (if you haven't already) Gillian Osborne's GREEN GREEN GREEN: https://bookshop.org/books/green-green-green/9781643620329
