Sheela Na Gigs - The Magical Enigma
About this episode
This episode explores the significance of Sheela Na Gigs as symbols of protection and fertility, discussing their role in women's empowerment and sacred life-giving.
The ancient female carvings called Sheela Na Gigs or Sheelas are enigmatic indeed. Theories are they're protection or fertility symbols, that their magic helps women in childbirth or if you're within a building on which a Sheela is carved, you are considered within the protective embrace of the Goddess. This and other aspects of the Sheelas are discussed in this short series about women reclaiming their agency via the power of female genitalia and sacred life giving.
