Truth is, nobody really knows what they were meant to symbolise.īut the truth is that we’ll never really know images of naked women holding giant version of their genitals symbolizes. Or that it was used to warn people of the dangers of sex. Others think it was used by the church to keep evil spirits out as they were often placed above doors and windows. Some believe they’re a representation of a pagan goddess who could bless women with fertility, and that the figure was associated with ‘ birthing stones‘ that were used to break luck to women in childbirth. We have the name ‘Síle Na Gig’ to thank for the slang word of ‘gee’ for your vagina, as ‘gig’ is actually pronounced as ‘gee’. It has a bony head with a grim face the arms flexed and both hands are indicating or touching the vulva. Thus the legs and genital area are only barely traceable. There are signs of deliberate hammering below the waist.
