I lean in this interpretive direction also. But The Green Man is a significant alternate name for the pagan
horned god, Great God Pan, etc. Is Wolfe suggesting this is the ultimate and true, unified god of Briah? Or
of all universes, including ours?
If the latter it might cause the Pope an uncomfortable turn or two at night....should I start my "Wolfe as
Heretic" thread again?
