Mari Lwyd time will soon be here and I’ve been doing a little lino cut to make some cards to celebrate. She’s a manifestation of the ancient Celtic horse goddess, Epona – or Rhiannon in Wales, and might even be linked to the earliest cave paintings of shamen in their animal masks. She makes her appearance in the Welsh tradition during Hen Galan, or the ‘old’ New Year based on the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar which is usually celebrated around the 13th of January.
Horse skulls are a bit hard to come by these days, but if you want your own Mari Lwyd, you can order a flat pack horse skull kit here….

I have tried several times to access the order page for the horse skull kit, but it is no longer available. Do you have an alternate web address?
Hello, I’ve had a look at their website and I think they’ve been out of stock but there’s a message that you can buy them by email, they’re not available online. This link might help. Good luck 🙂 https://trac.cymru/en/about-mari-lwyd/
