A younger, virile twin to the Holly King. The two are dual aspects of the Horned God battling for the favor of the Goddess. You might also know him as the Greenman. At Midsummer (also known as Litha/Summer Solstice- circa 06/21), the Holly King slays the Oak King to rule over the winter months. The days start getting shorter....the nights are getting colder....mother nature shuts down for a winter slumber. We say farewell to the sun. At Midwinter (Also known as Yule/Winter Solstice- circa 12/21), the Oak King returns and is victorious in this bout. The days start getting longer and warmer. The earth begins to wake up from its slumber....and green begins to envelope the earth. We welcome in the return of the sun. Both are symbolic to an eternal dance of fertility, growth, death and rebirth and the turning of the wheel.
