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 ๐โ๏ธ
There is still some smoothing to be done, but I am happy with her ๐ฉธ
She will become a pendant and altar piece ๐
When I make a few more, I'm thinking of adding a Crystal to her chest and having colour block options ๐ค
What are you creating on this equinox eve?
Happy Ostara to all,
May the light fill your soul and being โ๏ธ
