Wicker Man

The Wicker Man is a mythical creature made of woven branches and leaves, typically standing several meters tall. It is said to be used as a sacrifice in ancient rituals, with the bodies of the sacrificed placed inside the Wicker Man as fuel for the flames. The creature is often depicted as being ablaze, and the sight of it was believed to bring misfortune and bad luck to those who saw it.

In some legends, the Wicker Man is animated by magic, imbued with the spirits of the sacrificed and controlled by the sorcerers who created it. It is said to roam the countryside, seeking out new sacrifices to add to its flames and increase its power. Others believe that the Wicker Man is an elemental force of nature, a symbol of the fire that consumes all life and destroys the old to make way for the new.
