Wild Men

For Wild Men we have a term and definition in Mythagic.



Wild Men (Mythagic)

On one hand these are the fur/leaf covered men that appear on medieval woodcuts; on the other they are the same men that leave normal society to go and live in the forest. In this case they are often described as mad (Gelt in Irish - although that might also imply that they are inspired). Also known as Wood Wose or wode wose; famous wild men include Suibhne Gelt, Lailoken, Sir Orfeo, Merlin and maybe even Robin Hood.
