No one really knows why they were placed on churches, castles, and other secular buildings, but academics have many theories. They seem to originate on the European continent, with later appearances in Ireland and the UK. The lewd image recalls Greek portrayals of Baubo, and the key to understanding these figures might lie in the power of anasyrma (skirt-lifting) to avert evil. But no one really knows!

The Spring Equinox (referred to in several European countries as some version of ‘Ostara') is midway between Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice and a day of equal dark and light - the day and night are the same length. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this is a time of blossoming, of unfurling, of tending the soil and placing new seeds. (The Southern Hemisphere celebrates the Fall Equinox and the equal light and dark on the way to endings and the shorter days of winter). We're also beginning the astrological new year as the sun moves from Pisces into Aries and begins its next cycle through the zodiac. And we're entering eclipse season which symbolically can be seen as a time to let the shadows show us new perspectives on the natural order of things.  It's a potent time of fiery energies and, possibly, deep wounds and griefs. So can we remember that the dark soil is fruitful for growth and all new life springs forth from what has decayed? That the quickening which began in February may now be in labor contractions and that we have to surrender the outcomes and allow ourselves to be changed to fully live the mystery of rebirth and initiatory portals. This is as much a time of unbecoming as it is a time to celebrate new life.  Gather with me around this virtual fire and you'll hear me flesh these ideas out more (and give you an embodied breath practice to explore your relationship to these times); as well as offer some ways you can celebrate, honor, or otherwise align yourself with the season. And I'd love to keep hearing from you: How are you celebrating this brief moment of equilibrium on our way to longer days? How are you noticing or honoring the endings necessary for beginnings and tending the soil in which you're entrusting your new seeds? May we find the rest and the down cycles as we stretch toward the light. May the soils we tend nurture the seeds of compassion, connection, and freedom in ourselves, our communities, and the wider world. May we not forget that a life is just one piece of the greater churning of Aliveness and may we be in service to the holy tension of opposites, as Love.   ** Photo of the Sheela Na Gig carving is by Graham Hobster.

Shannon Vallance is certainly a force of nature and I had the honour and pleasure to extract all the wisdom from this incredible human. Loved and adored by those that know her, she is affectionately known by some as "The Fuck You Lady" because not only does she tell people where to go when necessary but she teaches her clients this very important skill too. To strip away conditioning, create healthy boundaries and honour them. Shannon, apart from being an incredible healer with natural talent, is certified in NLP, Reiki, hypnosis, has studied under Shamans, has done the Munay Ki rites and is fiercely passionate about helping women remember their innate power and wild femininity.  We spoke about: • The strong impact she has on people (both positive and negative but always all good) • Our “jobs” as individuals in this world • What led Shannon to be the mentor she is today • Her focus on helping her clients unlearn everything they have been conditioned in • What is underneath all the conditioning, learnt behaviours, beliefs that have been instilled in all of us • The up and down side of being a successful corporate player  • Rituals and traditions – learning about your bloodlines • Complete authenticity – why it's important for Shannon • How Shannon creates a safe space for people and meet them where they're at • How to become what Shannon calls “Mrs No Fucks” • The importance of finding authentic leaders  • Why learning the tools for navigating the world and connecting deeper  to spirit is imperative • Working with Sheela Na Gig, “the ancient ones” and Kali Ma • What Shannon believes is going on in the world • Details about the powerful event that Shannon and I will be doing together this month An incredibly deep, powerful and fun conversation had with a powerhouse that is changing the world, one woman at a time.  If this interview piques your interest in any way shape or form, that's your sign. I know you'll get something important from it.

As I talk about here on my podcast, Real Health and Free Energy are very easily accessed, BUT we live deep inside of a construct - a matrix - that is conditioning us to believe fully in quite the opposite. Therefore, accessing Free Energy and Health is still an effortless journey that is all of our birthright - at the same time, the removal of this wrong conditoning is the work. These dramatic times that we're living through are all about the crumbling of this negative conditioning, which makes it easier in that we have the collective momentum of moving out of the matrix simultaneously. That shared force is another aspect of True Healing that has been obscured from our vision, when it also is absolutely free and available at all times to all of us. The images referenced in this podcast are inspired by Sheela Na Gig and by the deepest living conversations around our blossoming inter-dimensional consciousness in these times. Visit my website to view the image details https://whatartisfor.com/blogcast/, or my Patreon to view them in whole https://www.patreon.com/claregalloway - I will not be publishing these imagery to the general public. Blessings on our Healing and Expansion as One, :Clare

Found primarily in Ireland and the British Isles, the Sheela na gig has been a mysterious symbol of female power for a millennia.  These 12th- to 17th-century stone carvings of supernatural females displaying their vulvas have been found in both sacred and secular architecture, from medieval churches to castles, town walls, holy wells, and gravestones.  What do they represent and how do they connect to women today? Join our guest, Starr Goode, a noted writer and teacher as well as a scholar of matriarchal history as she tells us about her lifelong study of these sacred female symbols. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

Annie Taylor: Telling Stories With Large Soft Sculptures Today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast, Annie Taylor shares her wonderful stories around the stories she creates and tells with her textile art. A key outlet for her creativity and artwork are her rather large soft sculptures. The word 'doll' just doesn't seem right when you see how large they are... Big Alice, for example is 16 foot tall! These evolve from recycled bedding, their personality takes shape as their faces and limbs take shape. They are then embroidered with text telling their story. They are however, taking over Annie's house... Susan Weeks chats ( and laughs) with Annie about: Continuing a family habit of recycling and creativity How her fairytale drawings and art sparked the creation of the dolls Creating large soft sculptures out of recycled duvets, pillows and bedding The 'wake up call' of having RSI in her hands Telling the stories of the dolls on their bodies and letting ideas evolve Nostalgia and 'crinoline ladies' Developing techniques for the lettering that is such a key element of her work Lessons learned at the Post Office Whatever is going to happen to 'Martha'?
