Lodhinn Alfhedhinn and Geordhe Grene: The Twayne

You have read of the Twayne in the story of the finding of the Lodestone in the midst of the Deep and the giving of it to the Drygand, and of how they then became Halleths, Alf-kynechts in dienst to the Drygand. Here is more...

Lodhinn Alfhedhinn's name means "Shaggy Alf-coat"-- he is rather hairy. Geordhe Grene's name means "Green Earth". The two men are different to each other but also complementary, and so they stick together, which keeps them from becoming too different.

Lodhinn is lithe and quick, clever and intense, like a ferret, and a sort of cunning-man. His hair is reddish but dark. He is often away on mysterious business. He makes people nervous. Some call him Wild Man, and his special day is said to be Yule.

Geordhe is tree-ish: thickly made, with thick, wavy blond locks, a squarish calm face, and a measured bearing. People come to him expecting wise counsel, and he often officiates at rites, with a wreath upon his head, like a trewita. He is called Green Man. His special day is Litha.

Deep Ecologists and Eco-druids

One role of the ancient Druids was to be upholders of the Sacred (Halidom). If you accept Ecology (Edhlifrith) as the foundation (godhead) of any viable future culture-civilization (Edhli-menning), then an Eco-druid would be an upholder of the ecological sacred. The Edhlifridhas (Eco-warriors) would be enforcers of it, but the Trewitas (Eco-druids) would be the spiritual guardians, by their spiritual and juridical authority maintaining the Wih-band (boundary-framing) between the Sacred and the not-sacred in the culture. And the term Deep Ecologist applies to both of these roles, I think.
