The Spirit of the Green Man is said to embody the energy of nature, and the creative force that brings Nature back to life each spring.   He is also known as Cernunnos, Lord of the Animals and guardian of the doorway between the natural kingdom and the Otherworld.

Peter worked for the Parks department prior to the band's musical ascension and often professes his love for nature and all living things.   Is it any wonder that he would relate to the Green Man?

There is a song, "Green Man", included on the 1996 release, October Rust.
