We all traverse her portal
At birth we pass through her
Touch the earth
know her
She peels back her lips to welcome
the worthy that would walk between worlds
Warriors and witches wander within
Sovereigns and saviors bow in wonder
Beloveds scratch at breasts with impassioned claws
Pull back the skin, excavate their own hearts, and OPEN
Embodied beings become conduits
Entire Yoniverses yet unknown
Open Earthen sepulcher
Smiling Stargate
Sheela na gig.
By Anika Phoenix
Information being updated weekly.
Site under construction
This is a project open to anyone who feels called to either visit and pay homage to existing Sheela na gigs or those that wish to create and leave offerings of Sheela na gigs at meaningful sites. Please get in touch if you would like to add to this body of work in any way.
I would like to stress that although this project is largely aimed at recognising the plight of women throughout history and empowering women in the present, this is an inclusive space open to beings of all genders. There are both male and female Sheela Na Gigs (often found in the same place) and it is my opinion that the Sheela na gig is a liberating symbol which, in it’s purest essence transcends binaries in it’s celebration of life.
