It's been quite some time since I put up any pieces, so I thought I'd share a 'Sheela na gig' that I've been creating,in honour of St.Sheelas day yesterday.
"A pre-Famine tradition in Ireland, which seems to have largely disappeared after the events of the 1840s, was that the day after St. Patrick's Day, March 18th, was dedicated to a female saint called Sheelah. Saint Sheelah was thought to have been Saint Patrick's wife or his mother."
I like to think that she was a metaphorical wife that St.Patrick took, just like casting the snakes out of Ireland... A way to tame the Wild Druid Feminine of Eire.
The snakes are still here, and the Wild Wombyn too πβοΈ
There is still some smoothing to be done, but I am happy with her π©Έ
She will become a pendant and altar piece π
When I make a few more, I'm thinking of adding a Crystal to her chest and having colour block options π€
What are you creating on this equinox eve?
Happy Ostara to all,
May the light fill your soul and being βοΈ
The W.O.W πΏ
