Episode Details

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.
