Sheela-Na-Gig figures
appeared all over old Irish churches built before the 16th century, but
Victorian prudery resulted in the defacement or destruction of large numbers
of them. Some have been embellished. She is usually represented as a naked
woman, squatting with knees apart, displaying her vulva and often presenting
it with both hands.
The
term Sheela-Na-Gig means something like “Vulva-Woman”. Celts generally
protected doorways with some female-genital fetish. Sheela-Na-Gig figures
closely resembled the yonic statues of Kali which still appear at the entrance
to Hindu temples where visitors lick a finger and touch the yoni for luck.
