Zeleni Jurij – A Slovenian Green Man
I have found a decent translation and explanation of the Slovenian Green Man — Zeleni Jurij and a very interesting music video. The story can be found at: http://sms.zrc-sazu.si/pdf/02/SMS_02_Smitek.pdf on pages 185-186. The book is titled: The Image of the Real World and the World Beyond in Slovene Folk Tradtion by Zmago Smitek. It is a wealth of folkloric information.
Two videos for your enjoyment – one in folkloric tradition and one rock n’ roll based version. Magnfico is the star of the rock and roll version and is famous throughout the world: http://www.magnifico.info/ I would dearly love a translation!
