How times change eh. How marvellous to be able to carve such rude things and stick them on a church. I can't imagine what the current worshippers at those churches must think. Perhaps they keep their eyes down.

I am wrong and am happy to say that.... I was always under the impression they were Pagan. But I'm obviously not aswell read as your good self... I bow before your knowledge... and will read up on the subject...

Rather nice thou, I have some in my house.

i dunno much about Sheela-na-gig's, but always assumed they were pre-Christian. is that not the case? Is there evidence that they definitely date from christian times? Because if it's a grey area, and it could be either, then common sense would tend to shy away from idea that christianity would ever use such imagery (even in the early days).

As i say though; i know sod-all about it... but if the jury's out, then i'll put my money on "pre-Christian" ;-)
