  1. I have been with the #druids in #Beaumaris tonight, celebrating the #MariLwyd as she reaches the tumult of her reign as the boney queen of winter that hungers and thirsts after all forms of life.

    She snaps and gnaws at the joyful energies and life - giving nourishment that sustains us throughout the long dark winter, before the first blossoms carpet the ground as the strengthening sun returns.

    She'll sleep after old new year.

  6. Are there any towns, villages or groups doing an organised Mari Lwyd event in South Wales this year?

    I have a friend who is desperate to go to one so I'm trying to help her find one that's not too far away.

    Thanks.

  7. Nothing to says "here come the holidays" like a screaming horse skull! Our Mari Lwyd design is available now at Fez-o-rama.com. Support a small business by buying handmade wearable art.

  8. Having made a #Krampus quilt and a #Gävlebocken quilt, I started mulling #MariLwyd or #Jólakötturinn for possible projects and checked to see what other people had done in this area

    I didn't find quilts for either, but this is some really cool #embroidery by kittermeowmix on Reddit

    (A Christmas cat quilt might yet be in my future - I have a void kitty who could model 🧐)

  9. Last few linocut ‘Mari Christmas’ cards left - and I won’t be reprinting them after this as they are a pain to hand colour in, so if you want one nows your chance!!

  10. There's something about a dead horse that sums up 2024.
    New for the holiday season we're offering my latest design: the Mari Lwyd. Inspired by the Welsh wassailing tradition and available in 3 different styles, our Mari Lwyds are available to order thru December 12th at Fez-o-rama.com

  11. An interesting end to the Glamorgan history walk with @Gle4R visiting the old police cells in Cowbridge. I’ve lived in the area for nearly 20 years and I didn’t know this existed! #MariLwyd #LawAndOrder #Police #Cowbridge #Museum #History

  12. Fantastic to see the wassail back in Chepstow today to bring in the New Year, the blessing of the orchard and the Mari Lwyd.

    40 seconds of Morris for your enjoyment.

    "Here we come a-wassailing
    Among the leaves so green;
    Here we come a-wandering
    So fair to be seen.

    Love and joy come to you,
    And to you your wassail too;
    And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
    And God send you a Happy New Year."

  13. Here's a #Youtube video on the #Welsh #Christmas tradition of Mari Lwyd. It's nice to see #Welsh culture being discussed, though her pronunciation is pretty laughable.

  14. Last International (Non-UK) is TODAY!!
    Get your orders in quick to avoid disappointment.
    Sorry for it being so early but international post has never really recovered since the pandemic and everything is snail mail now!

    If you see this late and still want something let me know and I'll see what I can do but expedited shipping might be required to get orders to you before Xmas!

  16. First of the new cards this year! My take on the Welsh folk tradition of Mari Lwyd.

    Nothing says Xmas than a skeletal horse banging on your door for beer and snacks in my opinion! And I know the Welsh feel the same.
    Let’s go a-wassailing!

  17. Ein #hoodenhorse "Satan" mewn paentiad newydd gan #BenEdge. Bydd hwn - a llawer o geffylau #EastKent gwreiddiol o'n traddodiad #hoodening - yn cael eu dangos yn yr arddangosfa yn Maidstone o fis Chwefror. Os na allwch gyrraedd Maidstone, gallwch ddarllen y llyfr cysylltiedig (ozaru.net/ozarubooks/animal-gu) #folklore #marilwyd

  18. We are an #OBOD #druid seed group of 8 people based in #Darlington in the north east of #England. We are interested in #history and #archaeology such as the local #IronAge #Brigantes tribe, whose Queen #Cartimandua had a fortress 10 miles away from us at #Stanwick. We go along to the #Beltane and #AutumnEquinox #pagan celebrations at #Thornborough #Henges in #NorthYorkshire. We are making a #MariLwyd whose name is #MariBriga and we are looking forward to introducing her to the world soon!

  19. Does anyone know where abouts I can see the Mari Lwyd in south Wales this Christmas? My partner's family recons there should be one about in the pubs in Llantrisant but if I go all the way there I want to make sure there really is one. #Wales #Llantrisant #Christmas #MariLwyd

  24. Mari Lwyd had her first outing today! Blessing the local Pagan shop with singing, bell ringing, drumming, and snapping those lovely jaws! 😃🎶✨🎀 🐴

    Photo: Mari Lwyd of Severn (Maryland, US) inside the local Pagan shop, decorated horse skull on a stick being held by a person under a white sheet. She has blue eyes in the sockets that may appear to be looking at the camera.

  25. I am hugely proud of the post I just wrote about Yule traditions, mythology, and symbolism. If you love holly, berries, wassailing, and the old gods, I think you’ll enjoy it.
