While in Orkney, we went in search of Twatt (of course) but discovered that twats kept nicking the road signs and the council got sick of replacing them, so they don't exist anymore! A shop in Kirkwall came to the rescue #Orkney

Itty bitty Sheela na Gig spotted in St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney 😍 Unlike most Sheelas, this one looks directly down at the altar. The surrounding pillars have carvings of an elfin woman and a Green Man, so there's a fair bit of pagan imagery in St Magnus!

So one of the Wild Gees was in Donegal today. Had to be done

Here she is, standing on her head 😍

Did you find the Cashel Sheela on the wall?

This Tuatha guide is amazing. We used it on our trip to Tipp 🥰 There's a sideways #SheelaNaGig on the Rock of Cashel - can you spot her?

Fadó, fadó, we created a #Wikipedia article for Nora O'Keeffe - revolutionary, feminist, Cumann na mBan organiser and equally fascinating OH of Margaret Skinnider. One of the many same sex relationships of the revolutionary era #LGBTQHistoryMonth #SpeirGorm

On St Gobnait's feast day, we'd like to share this tiny but awesome #SheelaNaGig. She forms part of St Gobnait's pilgrimage around Ballyvourney church in Co Cork. In pre-contraception days, women would rub their hankies on the Sheela and put under their pillows to ward off pregnancy*
