About

Mid-December to late January, a creature so peculiar wakes up in Wales and parades the street. A horse's skull, pale white, with a ghostly white sheet draped around it, adorned with baubles, tassels, ribbons and bells lights up the street and goes from door to door. It's a Welsh tradition and celebration, and this episode looks in to the history and explains one question: what and who is the Mari Lwyd? sonofsaturnco.comsonofsaturnco.etsy.com
