Perched high above the nave in Stottesdon church is a carving of a woman who has sadly had much of her lower half destroyed. She is thought to be a Sheela Na Gig, damaged purposefully by someone who took offence to her. It's so wonderful that she endures despite being defaced.

Intriguing Sheela na gig esque stone corbel on Aberford church
Spotted on the 12th century Norman tower of St Ricarius's, Aberford. Could be a Sheela-na-Gig? Undocumented if so 🤷♂️ #medievalsky #sheelanagig

I once heard Ronald Hutton say that she is purely a Christian invention and I laughed & laughed & laughed. Similar goddess images have been found all around the world of goddesses.

DYK stone workers carved #SheelaNaGig, grotesques of the vulva, into #NormanChurches to make Catholics fear their genitals & the “#sin” of #SexualPleasure? They also carved #phallic & other sexual grotesques. Ghosts of #HistSex still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

DYK many Romanesque European churches used stone grotesques to make women & men fear the “sin” of #SexualPleasure, including phallic male equivalents to #SheelaNaGig that focused on the vulva, as well as women nursing snakes! HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex

What would the vicar have made of this? A carving on a mediaeval baptismal font at St. Botolph’s Church at Iken, Suffolk.

This Tuatha guide is amazing. We used it on our trip to Tipp 🥰 There's a sideways #SheelaNaGig on the Rock of Cashel - can you spot her?

Blessed Sheela Na Gig! You are wild, raw & primal. You who lay bare our deepest truths. I learn to embrace all that is my power, unashamed & unapologetically so. #witchsky #pagansky #sheelanagig

A very weathered stone carving of a Sheela na Gig figure in Ballyvourney churchyard, Co Cork.
On St Gobnait's feast day, we'd like to share this tiny but awesome #SheelaNaGig. She forms part of St Gobnait's pilgrimage around Ballyvourney church in Co Cork. In pre-contraception days, women would rub their hankies on the Sheela and put under their pillows to ward off pregnancy*
