Description
Wild Edric: A Marriage Beyond the Mortal
The cry of a horn, the trample of hooves, Wild Edric rides over mynd and mountain.
Protector of the land, hero of the people, warrior for peace and harbinger of war
A tangled story of love and war, loss and redemption.
Storytelling, song and music combine to tell a story that resonates in the bones of the land.
Wild Edric is the scarred hero of the Welsh Marches. He is the guardian of the rugged wild land that creases and rears up into the Shropshire hills. His fairy bride, Godda, like the land, is untamed, beautiful and dangerous.The two form a bridge, between this world and the otherworld, holding the dignity of the old ways against the Norman onslaught.
Where Earth meets Dream in the territory of the wild, Edric crosses boundaries, defends borders and maintains a vision of lost connection in these stories of Shropshire and the Borderlands.
A real man, alive in the time of William the Conqueror, the legend of Wild Edric tells of the struggle to protect people, land and a way of life in a rapidly changing world. Storytelling and music combine to tell a story of magic and desperate ignorance that resonates through time, held deeply in the local landscape
