A Happy New Year to all Babylonians

Here is a little creation for the New Year :

The Mari Lwyd Visitor

A custom sometimes associated with the 12 days of Christmas or sometimes with Winter, or sometimes with March.All kinds of explanations of the “Mari Lwyd” (The Grey Mare, Blessed Mary, Holy Mary). One such myth has the creature being tossed out of the stable in Jerusalem and returning to get revenge.

The two pictures on the wall are two Welsh poets who spent time in the USA. The one with the pipe rode the rails - jumping boxcars and would write about his experiences across N. America including the southern states and the KKK. Some of it is quite grim.

Any way, New Year is approaching so A Happy New Year to all people - Popl, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.

Stay Safe All, gryff :slight_smile:

That explains your real last name, which I saw somewhere, Peter.
