Pagan Eye: Hobby Horse at a Pagan Wassail


Here is a photo taken at a wassail at Langford Pumping Station in Essex on Sunday 22nd January.

The picture was sent to me by someone who reads my blog. They said: "It was a fun day, though a bit cold!"

The hobby horse looks wonderful and the picture is great!

My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.

That's what was outside the palace in Madrid in September. Much smaller but definitely the same look. I took many photos.

I'm not convinced the Spanish one was an actual hobby horse, just someone trying to make some money, but it was definitely well into the uncanny end of the spectrum.

I'd love to see a picture of that!
