There’s a skeletal horse singing rhymes outside your door, and it wants to come inside. Can you beat the dead mare in a battle of poetic wits? This is the Welsh tradition of the Mari Lwyd, a mid-winter custom wherein the skull of a horse, decked out with bells and ribbons, is paraded on a stick by a reveler beneath a sackcloth, who challenges neighbors in exchange for drink and food.

The eery whimsy of the Mari Lwyd practice has fascinated us for years. We are so excited to share our love of this Pagan Yuletide tradition with you by introducing our new soft sculpt. Happy Wassailing and Blessed Yule!
