Sheela-na-Gig

This feisty Sheela is my own contemporary interpretation of those originally carved in stone on churches and castles throughout Europe and beyond.
My Sheela-na-gig represents an active female Shakti spirit imbued with the power of sacred creativity. Her elements are fire and air.
Many theories surround her. Some believe she was designed to ward off the devil - obviously there is nothing more frightening than a woman's genitalia!
Some say that she symbolised creation and fertility in a pre-christian era. She was frequently positioned beside doorways where visitors would rub her vagina for good luck before entering - it always works for me!
