Sheila was well known for her wild antics at the gigs she regularly attended.
I remember learning about these in transition year, there was one close to my school so we had an excuse to head out as a class to see it. Then my teacher played us the PJ Harvey song of the same name, now I’m a big PJ Harvey fan
Myself and bestie went to see the one in Killinaboy a few summers ago and had great craic taking photos of ourselves covering our crotches and tittering etc. Sheela had her revenge, we were both struck down with bladder infections two days later. Although that may have had more to do with us sitting on damp car seats as we forgot to close the windows against the misty rain the same day.
But to be on the safe side, don’t mock Sheela.

Sheela take a bow.
My next tattoo is sorted.
They’re even coming from Gdańsk to see this
Now that’s what I call religious iconography
You exhibitionist!
Our bi-annual sheela na gig post.
Someone belong to me had one of these in his house among other artefacts after a removal of artefacts from a site. It didn’t look like that it was more huge belly and spread vagina legs down. The thing was on the far side of the room when he’d check on the room several times. It moved from a place on the floor to furthest wall, i can’t remember if it was east or west but one of them. nobody got pregnant but his daughter met her future husband when it was in the house. the artefacts were only there maybe 10 days. he worked for the gov so it was ok with them at the time. odd story but he is very adamant about the sile na gig trying to get out.

Sheela na gig is ainm di,
Buineann sí taitneamh ag ithe an gee
Worth your regular reminder that our word gee literally comes from the Irish word for fanny.
Sheila of the Gee.
what does na gig mean?
I have never really felt these things were explained properly. It’s not like the priests and bishops were unaware of them.

Take your hips to a man who cares, young lady!
