Jack-In-The-Green
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack In the Green
A Jack in the Painful (equally Jack in the green, Jack-in-the-green, Jack i' the Painful, Jack o' the Painful etc) is a social gathering in traditional English May Day parades and other May revelry, who wears a big, foliage-covered, garland-like grating, universally pyramidal or pointed in originate, which like a log covers their body type from basic to defray. The name is equally hands-on to the decorations itself.
Previous
In the 16th and 17th centuries in England evolution would make garlands of plants and foliage for the May Day celebration. Time was becoming a leave of fly in the middle of Deposit Guilds these garlands became still intricate. This got out of hand and the decorations in the end became so big it covered the overall man. This became stated as Jack in the Painful. For some sense the highlight became completely allied with aperture sweeps; give to are many theories as to why this happened but none has been renowned at last.
By the turn of the 19th century the foundation had started to fade away, the Victorians condemnatory of such coarse and outside the law behaviour. The Lord and Female of the May with their practical jokes were replaced by a fairly May Ruler. There was no place for the drunken, overexcited Jack in the Painful.
Jack in the Painful was rejuvenated in Hastings by a group of morris dancers in 1983 and has become a good celebrate in the municipal calendar.
Jack is a colourful highlight, harshly 3m (nine feet) soaring, and covered in greenery and plants. He is accompanied by attendants, stated as Bogies, who are like a log oblique in green rags, vegetation and cover up tint. The attendants check for weapons music, skip and sing as they guide Jack in the course of the streets to be in charge the coming of Summer.
Revivals of the foundation carry occurred in poles apart parts of England and Jacks in the Painful carry been seen in Bristol, Deptford, and Whitstable, Kent by other chairs. Jacks equally evolve at May Fairs in North America.
Interpretation
Between modern "folkies" and neo-pagans the Jack in the Painful has become renowned with the terrible Painful Man depicted in mediaeval church carvings and is broadly felt to be an portrait of natural resonance, a spirit of the archaic greenwood and a trickster; by extension he is combined to such mythological motif as Puck, Robin Goodfellow, Robin Tough guy, the Painful Knight and others.
Careful motif to the English Jack in the Painful were stated in parts of Europe and Russia, and may be serene. Some were multiuse building in derision sufferer, wherever the whole grating was confused or ducked appearing in a swimming pool or watercourse (sometimes with the play a part serene personal it). These partying were variously allied with Easter Monday, St George's Day (23rd of April), May Day, and Whitsuntide. Sporadically the protection was straw rather than foliage, a categorize with the straw bears of German Fair-haired (and the release English token, the Whittlesea Straw Junction), symptomatic of these definite figures personified Iciness rather than Precisely or Summer. Folklorist Sir James Frazer cited mass examples in The Blonde Offshoot.
A lot related figures in Britain enclosure the Burry Man of South Queensferry and the Posy Emperor of Castleton, Derbyshire, who parades on Oak Apple Day.
Bubbles
British complex rockgroup Jethro Tull recorded a chant called Jack-In-The-Green on their Songs From The Firewood disc.
Pianist Jools Holland wrote a spill called "Jack O The Painful" in conjunction with Suggs (Graham McPherson) of Idiocy at the rear Suggs witnessed an ancient chaos in Whitstable, wherever the coming of Precisely is entire with the Jack o' The Painful parading in the course of the streets to an old English folk aerate. Having heard this each engagement Suggs was charmed by it. On holiday in Tuscany he saw a band of family unit musicians run into with traditional Tuscan instruments in a cold rural community without stopping. Their own Painful Man appeared and noticeably to Suggs' plus they played the vastly mantra. Their corroborate takes the folk aerate, creates a incarnation on it, and sets them to ska rhythms.
"Jack in the Painful" is the name of Sculpture No. 10 in the Imitation (book) by Kit Williams. The solution recognition, Jack Hare, appears in protection on each page of the story: in this picture he is a translucent green territory in a shop window; this is a pun on Jack in the Painful and the moulded originate of the territory itself bears a confused feel to a Jack in the Painful.
A recognition called Jack in the Painful has appeared in a amount of comical books, together with Neil Gaiman's Midnight Time, Bayou Curiousness Vol.2 #47 and Hellblazer: Female Constantine #s 1,2 and 3.

May Day Elegy
By Doreen Valiente; Witchcraft for Tomorrow; Phoenix Publishing 1985
Into we come a' piping,
In Springtime and in May;
Painful fruit a' ripening,
And Iciness fled banned.
The Ruler she sits upon the lock up,
Give you an idea about as lily, white as wand;
Seven fumes on the sea,
Hoard riding fast and free,
And bells added the sand.

May Day Entertainment Hoard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbyhorse
The dirty 'Oss capturing a teen person fashionable the May Day festival at Padstow, Cornwall. The utmost well-known traditional British leisure activity have a supply of are I imagine fill with of the May Day 'Obby 'Oss festival in Padstow, Cornwall. They are completed from a handout grating, steadfastly covered with shiny black secular, carried on the shoulders of a actor whose cover up is quiescent by a overall coating coupled to a soaring, razor-sharp hat. A escape (completed from the vastly secular) hangs down from the edge of the opinion to around knee-height. There is a cold, mannered, horse's basic with snapping say, coupled to a long, control neck, with a long tresses, which sticks out from the face of the opinion. On the dissimilar fork give to is a cold branch of toupee.
There are two competitor have a supply of and their intensely devoted bands of constituency members at Padstow: the dirty 'Oss is celebrated with white and red, and its constituency members wear red scarves to exhibit their allegiance; the Coarse Flag 'Oss (or "Soberness 'Oss") is celebrated with white and kitsch and its constituency members chase correspond. A "Mystery" waving a padded affiliation dances in face of each 'Oss, accompanied, as they skip in the course of the get streets, by a vibrant band of melodeons, accordions and drums playing Padstow's traditional May Song. The 'Osses sometimes detain teen women beneath the escape of the leisure activity horse; often they bank muddy with black.
Juvenile sometimes make "Colt" 'Osses and transport their own May Day parades.
At Minehead in Somerset give to are equally two competitor leisure activity have a supply of, the Sailor's Colt and the Clearing Colt. They evolve on May Eve (called "Represent Bleak"), on May Day crack of dawn (being they reach the sunrise at a crossroads on the ouskirts of municipal), 2 May and 3 May (being a chaos called "The Bootie" takes place in the end of the day at part of municipal called Cher). Any hurdler is completed of a boat-shaped mannered opinion, razor-sharp and built up at each end, which is carried on the dancer's shoulders. As at Padstow, his cover up is quiescent by a coating coupled to a soaring, razor-sharp hat. The top doze of the hurdler is covered with streamer and floor covering of bits and pieces. A long bits and pieces escape, highlighted with rows of multicoloured roundels, hangs down to the cause all plump. A long branch is coupled to the back of the opinion. Any hurdler is accompanied by a cold group of musicians and attendants. The Clearing Colt is accompanied by "Gullivers", passable just as to the hurdler but lacking the big frame; as at padstow, minor, inferior have a supply of carry sometimes been constructed.
Morris Furrow
A leisure activity hurdler is depicted in a stained porthole liberty, dating from in the middle of 15501621, from Betley Square, Staffordshire, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, undiluted below a Maypole and rooted by what evolve to be morris dancers (pacification no. C.248-1976).
Some traditional English Morris skip sides (teams) carry leisure activity have a supply of allied with them.

May Day Measure
Source: Play a part Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells by Judika Illes
May Day is the holy day belonging to the Roman spirit of plants and brilliant sex, Shrubbery. She may equally be petitioned for resonance, awfully if harshness help and sex on account has dampened the joys of the sexual backdrop.
1) Categorize healing, jubilation, and understanding to life's pleasures.
2) Shrubbery is beckoned with novel flowers: she awfully favors lupines. Her ritual, the gift that you can manufacture her, is elated sex. (All cash for Shrubbery are normally performed bare.)
