Yuletide blessings from Mari Lwyd 🎄 The skeletal Welsh Christmas horse Mari Lloyd is a wassailing (festive drinking) tradition in which those who carry the horse from door to door sing riddles in demand for cider, beer, mulled wine, or what have you to do for a cup of holiday cheer. 🥂
Although several cloaked animal skull figures popularly feature throughout pagan British history Mari Lwyd is rather absent from any surviving medieval accounts among these. That is not to say definitively that Mari Lwyd cavorted about no earlier than the 1800 date commonly given considering centuries of real effort to erase such traditions. In fact throughout the 1980-90s as part of that era’s “Satanic Panic” Mari Lwyd was highly discouraged as a pagan act even by English secularists simply because it looked “tacky”.
