Sheila-na-Gig

Sku: 7502
Manufacturer: Dragonscale
Type: Sterling Silver
Description:
The power of laughter and the outrageous to drive away the demons of darkness is represented here by Sheil-na-Gig - found on many Medieval Irish churches. An ancient symbol of protection and fertility conveying blessings on all who passed beneath her. According to some sources, these are illustrations of a mythical territorial Celtic goddess who was the granter of royalty. When the goddess wished to test the king-elect, she came to him in the form of an old hag, soliciting sexual intercourse. If the king-elect accepted, she transformed herself into a radiantly beautiful young woman and conferred on him royalty and blessed his reign. Thus testing his "sovereign" power and encuring fertility and strength to his land and people through him.
