CW: double entendre about female anatomy
Wait, I'm sure that means something rude - putting those three words together makes me think of a #SheelaNaGig

CW: Figurative carving of naked woman
Sheela na Gigs at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic! These figurative carvings of naked women with exaggerated vulvas can be found across Europe, adorning cathedrals, castles, and more. Believed to ward off evil, demons, and death. #SheelaNaGig #WitchcraftAndMagic #Protection

Stair na hÉireann / History of #Eire / #Ireland
Síle na Gigh - Lá 'le Síle
In the old #Celtic calendar, today is #SheelahsDay to honour the fertility Goddess known as #Sheelanagig.
Naked Sheela-na-gig figures appeared in Irish churches constructed before the 16th century, but most were defaced or destroyed during the prudish Victorian age.

is a thousand words worth a picture?
i would like to share my art here, but one reason i don't is not knowing how to write #AltText for something like this
the only solution i can imagine is if, for each piece of #VisualArt, i write a short story or long poem, that attempts to invoke whatever i'm trying to invoke in the art
a challenge is that most of my visual art is created intuitively, and on the fly. i don't usually know exactly what i'm trying to invoke. in fact, my interest in visual art is because it allows me to explore #NonVerbal #CreativeExpression
how can alt text support non-verbal expression? this is a serious question
i think this is why my writing is veering into #surrealism and #ExperimentalWriting. i want to bypass intellect and communicate viscerally
ideas? opinions?

In case you're interested, I found the Merlin's Sheela na Gig. My OSINT skills proved useful here.
It's on the south wall, the lowest ogee window.
She's tiny, but you can just see her sitting upside down on a shield. Didn’t have my camera with me, so only mobile photoPlease be nice to her if you come to visit; she is the tiniest one in #Ireland.

During my efforts to locate Merlin Castle's Sheela na Gig, I stumbled upon the Digital Heritage project (https://www.digitalheritageage.com/) that includes 3D models of various Irish archaeological and historical objects. Here is their #Galway catalogue: (https://sketchfab.com/galway3d). I wish they included the Lynch Castle figures, but this one is good too, and you can actually look up close and personal at Merlin's Sheela na Gig here: (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/merlin-park-sheela-na-gig-dafa6e042ab34ff5b7d045f134f739b7).

A fairly well-preserved sheela-na-gig on the medieval church in Killinaboy (Irish: Cill Iníne Baoith "Church of the daughter of Baoth")
On the gable wall there's a Lorraine cross – an unusual feature in Ireland – and behind the ruin is the stump of a round tower

Out at Malahide Castle again this morning (it’s going to part of the Saturday regime for a few weeks now so expect related toots). Anyhoo … think I spotted one of those “Sheela na gigs” when the rain brought up the red stone against the grey stone. It’s still pretty indecipherable. #SheelaNaGig #MalahideAbbey #MalahideCastle #Mastodaoine

A giant vulva and labia, wearing a crown, and holding a crossbow and what is either a firey torch or a flogger/whip/cat of nine tails, rides on horseback
Medieval brooches sure were something.

@dianajspencer Mine too! Doesn't hurt that you also get a #SheelanaGig and a holy well whose water 'is much esteemed by the peasantry for its supposed virtues'. Not a phrase you often hear in a house listing! 😁

This sheela na gig is positioned next to the Watergate Bridge in the medieval walled town of Fethard in County Tipperary. It's certainly a striking looking example.
Ireland has a large number of these enigmatic figures. There has been much debate about their meaning, and you can hear a good discussion with Orla-Peach Power and Gary Dempsey on this episode of #AmplifyArchaeology Podcast:
