Hal, May-swain

At Winter Solstice one thinks of Neorxna, the 'Evergreening Neotene'-- his enduring youthful openness and creativity and his forward-looking hope and prescience lead one to look across the frozen gulf of Winter to the return of Spring.  But at the coming of May, there is Hal Twayne-son, grandson of Drygand, the Amazing Child; Hal the Haleth, fighting for the future of Wyke and Feorgen and Menning, for Life on Earth, fighting the Searuvel whenever he appears in one of his many guises; Hal the Teev of the flourishing of Ecology-on-all-Levels, avatar of the Ecological Self; and May Day, day of the manifest victory of Spring, is his day.

Swain= lad.
Neotene= 'youth-retaining one' Twayne= the twins Bil (Bilwit) and Wil (Wildiar), headman and shaman, respectively.
Haleth= hero, protector, fighter Wyke= Biosphere. Feorgen= Nature-mind, Father Earth. Menning= ecological culture-civilization.
Searuvel= the world-dominating Evil Machine.
Teev
