Q: You describe a possible class of women called Sheelas. A: Our references come from a couple of 19th century antiquarian researchers working in county Cork who heard about special women known as Sheelas, who cured the sick by exposing themselves to the afflicted. They appear to have been healers and/or midwives, but the church and the authorities were on the lookout for such people at the time, and intent on their eradication, so such traditions were deeply hidden amongst the people, and so our knowledge of them is pretty limited. It is a great pity that we dont know more about that class of healer women called sheelas, for it is doubtlessly related to the essential meaning of the Sheela-na-gigs. Q: Will you elaborate about how you see your role in the liberation of women, Sheela-na-gigs, and the Sídhe? I am basically just a researcher in the old antiquarian tradition dedicated to the preservation of our antiquities and respect for our ancient heritage. Yet in my exploration I have learnt something of the ancient wisdom inherent in these ancient sites that has shown me that many answers to our questions about our going forward at this crucial time in human history lie in our understanding of the past. Did you know vaginas had the power to banish the presence of evil? Did you know? Weve shamed the vagina so much, why do you think evil has become so rampant in the world ...vaginas are sad, they have forgotten their power. Time to restore.
