SHEELA NA GIG
Irish Fertility Goddess
Primitive Goddess of Fertility in the British Isles
She’s lewd, rude, nude and very crude, displaying her most intimate parts to scare away death. She’s highly respected — and something of a feminist icon due to her empowering delight in exhibiting her body without shame.
Funny how things turn out. You may even find a representation of her on the outside of a British church, showing her wares to passers-by. Brass rubbings are strictly forbidden.
