The Green Man would probably be Spring.  Rebirth, growing, the natural time for things to become alive or awaken, etc.  If so, there's your Spring Court (and since I like the idea of it, your Regulator Spring Court).

I think it's the Easter Bunny!  :D

:P

Though in all seriousness, Neil Gaiman's American Gods has Easter as a character, and it talks a bit about her transformation through the ages. Well worth a read, not only for this thread.

Poor Eostre. From a goddess of the dawn to a goddess of renewal to a pagan demiurge of rebirth and fertility to a very large cartoon rabbit. The scene with her and Wednesday is hilarious, too.

Yeah! That's really good. (Except the Green Man seems more like a Summer King, but eh, the Erlking isn't especially Summery so, whatevs, maybe it works.)
