Om Selvadegh
The wild man (Om Selvadegh) is an archetype present in the popular culture of many European areas, particularly mountainous regions; he is a wild human, sometimes semi-divine, inhabiting the woods and generally depicted as covered in vegetation or thick fur. If you think of Lailoken or Suibhne you will have yet another confirmation that the Archetype is more powerful than History and there is little point in reminding us of the Celtic presence in Northern Italy and the Alps.
