"The Woodwoses and Wildmen of #Suffolk", my talk for Dunwich Museum, now online. @forteantimes #woodwose youtu.be/ntVPfS_xhqI?...
I think I must have been researching woodwoses and the Green Man too much recently as Facebook has now started marketing me this "specialist" woodwose item. It appears to be a "I've got wood-wose"!
(I have added a flower for modesty)
Also, is he inflating it with a bagpipe? 🤔 #rude #woodwose
Woodwose on the font of Orford church
He was put back in the sea, contained by nets, but escaped. He was gone for sometime, but eventually returned to the village & stayed there of his own accord for 2 months. He is depicted on Orford’s font & it seems he was a #woodwose #OnePlaceWednesday
6/8 Wild men (woodwoses) are common in medieval tales, but this one feels different. He is not grotesque but gentle: an exile at the edge of two worlds. #WildMan #Woodwose
3/8 He ate with furious hunger but would press raw food to draw out its juices. He never spoke, not even under torture. And he showed no reverence in church. #WildMan #Woodwose
5/5 The true nature of the Wildman of Orford remains a mystery, but his legend is a cherished part of Suffolk's folklore. #WildManOfOrford #SuffolkLegends #Folklore #Woodwose #merman #suffolk

You know you need to lay off the folklore a bit when you start to have dreams about woodwoses and the Green Man.

3/3 These mythical beings were both fearsome and protective, reminding us to respect and value nature. The Wildman continues to inspire art and literature, highlighting our connection to the natural world.

a collage of bird men and found text: in the buile suibhne the levitation element is curious. it takes the form of suibhne imagining himself as flying about from place to place, imagining, too, that feathers have grown on him. it may be observed that until quite recent times it was the general belief in ireland that madmen were light as feathers and could climb steeps and precipices. the account of suibhne's madness seems to bear some resemblance to the widely dispersed stoy of the wild man of the woods of which the merlin legend is perhaps the most conspicuous offshoot. text 2: God has severed me from my form, all men see that i am not shapely, bare of thread is my tattered garment, suibhne of ros earcain is my name, the crazy madman am i. i rest not when night comes, my foot frequents no trodden way, i bide not here for long. text 3: wild man, woodwose, man of the woods: mythical figure with a body covered in hair, green hair or leaves
from "By Thy Shape"

Me, in real life. #woodwose
I miss seeing woodwoses since I moved north of the Wall. Here's one, clearly on holiday from East Anglia (and on horseback!) that I saw as a misericord in Toledo.
