| Celtic Goddess of fertility |
Sheela Na Gig is alive in Ireland & Britain where over 100 images
of her are to be found carved into stone reliefs. She originated around 1100 AD. This fertility Goddess is portrayed
as naked, with her hands opening her vulva in a gesture of birthing. Today, she's here to assist White BUffalo
Calf Woman give birth to the next Great Age in a new cycle of time for the Earth. . . along with numerous other
awesome ancestral Goddesses. Unlike many others, the Goddess Sheela Na Gig leaves no trace of a colourful, instructive
legend ----simply her stark image carved in stone tells us that the Sacred Feminine can never be destroyed.
Sheela Na Gig looks quite old as she's giving birth through the opening of her womb.

"Smiling lewdly out from rock carvings, this Goddess of ancient
Ireland can still be seen in surviving petroglyphs: a grinning, often skeletal face, huge buttocks, full breasts, and bent
knees. What most observers remember best is the self-exposure of the Goddess, for she holds her vagina open with both
hands.
She's the greatest symbol of the life-and-death Goddess in the Celtic
world, where her stones have been incorporated in Christian churches. Her name means 'hag'; her grining face & genital
display are complicated by the apparent absence of her flesh. Laughter & passion, birth and death, sex & age
do not seem to have been so incompatable to the ancient Irish as they are to the modern world." from Goddesses and Heroines

SHEELA WANTED !
The Fethard Connection
Up to the 9th January 1990, Fethard had four Sheela na gig in the locality,
one at Watergate Street, one at the Augustinian Abbey, one at Kiltinan Church and the last at Kiltinan Castle. On that Tuesday,
in January 1990, the best example of the local 'Sheelas' was stolen from Kiltinan Church and is still missing today. We have
never given up hope that, some day, 'Sheela' will return home to her native Fethard. The 'Wanted Poster' was issued by Fethard
Historical Society in 1990.
The Highest Reward on Earth ....is Earth !

| Goddesses are the most excellent problem solvers on Earth. |
