  4. Mysteries of the Mari Lwyd: History of the Welsh “Christmas Horse” in Victorian Wales | From folk favourite to folk horror (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees EP80)
Explore Wales’s weird and wonderful Christmastime tradition, the
festive "bone horse" that is the Mari Lwyd!

The Mari Lwyd is a curious custom which sees a hobby horse-like
like creature challenge people to a battle in verse - what some
call a "rap battle" - and, if victorious, enters their home to
eat their cakes and ale.


But what began as a good-natured folk tradition soon descended
into one of chaotic folk horror, and as we discover on this
episode, it got so out of hand that the Mari Lwyd was outlawed.


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the
mysteries of the Mari Lwyd on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales
podcast... if you dare!


 


 
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
podcast?

In early 2020, Mark Rees launched the world’s first podcast
dedicated to Welsh ghost stories, folklore, myths and legends.


By combining his unique research and insights from many books and
articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes, this weird
and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's
countless curious subjects.


New episodes are uploaded every Thursday and feature everything
from real-life encounters with pesky poltergeists to fantastical
beasts from the Mabinogi, to dark and Gothic Halloween/ Nos Calan
Gaeaf traditions to the skulled-headed Christmas favourite
herself, the Mari Lwyd.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
