Wilderness Survival Specialization

The Wicker Man doll was small enough to fit in one hand. Its dry willow twigs were woven together, and its cracked surface felt prickly to the touch.

The Wicker Man had no eyes, but in the sunlight, the shadowed gaps between its woven twigs gave him the strange sensation of being watched.

Or was the Wicker Man a common ornament in this world, perhaps some kind of mystical Amulet?

Or was it simply a coincidence? Perhaps this Scenario and the first didn't take place in the same world at all.
