Weekend demonstrations have flared up in Australia over the last month, as Aussies have vented their frustrations and attempted to take back control of their communities after a surge in virus cases prompted the government to re-implement some of the world’s most draconian social-distancing measures.
And if there is one thing that terrifies increasingly tyrannical governments, it’s a loss of control of the narrative, which is why the Australian government is getting a jump start on curbing any so-called “conspiracy theorists” daring to spread information that questions the fear-mongering being used to keep Aussie citizens under lock and key.
A new bill is expected to be debated by the Victorian government in the State Parliament this week. It gives local authorities the power to detain “conspiracy theorists” and people who refuse to self-isolate, reported Caldron Pool.
If passed, the COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) allows the government to detain anyone labeled as a “high risk” or likely to spread COVID-19 negligently.
A state government spokesman told The Age that the rule could be applied to “conspiracy theorists who refuse to self-isolate or severely drug-affected or mentally impaired people who do not have the capacity to quarantine.” Those arrested under the new rule will be housed in quarantine facilities.
Attorney-General Jill Hennessy said the new bill would “allow us to continue responding to the challenges the pandemic presents, so we can keep protecting Victorians and delivering the services they rely on.”
So far, many of the anti-lockdown demonstrations have been held on the weekends. At least 200 people were fined and 74 arrested at a protest in Melbourne on Sunday. If the bill is passed, some protesters would be rounded up and arrested, and could spend time in a quarantine facility.
Clearly, the government’s intent to extend powers and detain conspiracy theorists and those who pose a risk of spreading the virus should be alarming to readers.
In a glimpse of what is ahead, authorities have already arrested a Melbourne woman for allegedly writing pro anti-lockdown posts on social media.
Notably, after widespread social media account deletions, TheConversation notes that QAnon has attracted a lot of followers in Australia, so what comes next? ‘Re-education centers’ for QAnons?

Support for the Black Lives Matter movement has been falling rapidly among Whites and Hispanics over the past three months of riots, murder and mayhem.
A new Pew Research survey found general support for the movement among Whites has fallen 15 percent (60 to 45) and support among Hispanics has fallen 11 percent (77 to 66).
From Pew Research:
In June, a majority of White adults (60%) said they supported the movement at least somewhat; now, fewer than half (45%) express at least some support. The share of Hispanic adults who support the movement has decreased 11 percentage points, from 77% in June to 66% today. By comparison, support for the Black Lives Matter movement has remained virtually unchanged among Black and Asian adults.
Support for the Black Lives Matter movement remains particularly widespread among Black adults. Some 87% of Black Americans say they support the movement, similar to the share who said this in June. However, the share of Black adults expressing strong support for the movement has decreased 9 points, from 71% to 62%.
[…] About nine-in-ten White Democrats (88%) express at least some support for the Black Lives Matter movement, compared with 16% of White Republicans. And while about half of White Democrats (51%) say they strongly support the movement, just 2% of White Republicans say the same.
Civiqs’ daily tracking poll has found similar results.
White alone:
All Americans:
Support for the Black Lives Matter movement is still disturbingly high considering the movement is run by non-Black convicted terrorists like Susan Rosenberg and was financed from the very beginning by billionaire George Soros.

renegadetribune--2020-09-21--The 100 Lies That The Israelites Were White

I would like to address a video that has become fairly popular in the so-called White Nationalist Christian movement , particularly with the Christian Identity crowd .
The video in question is a video called “ 100 Proofs That the Israelites Were White ” .
The video has made its way around various telegram groups , discord servers , internet forums , and is more often than not used as a “ gotcha ” to replace arguing points when debating adherents of Christian Identity .
The video can be found on YouTube and Bitchute and is often mirrored and re-uploaded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video is presented by a chap named “ Truthvids ” .
Truthvids has a website called “ Truthvids.net ” , wherein his opening statement reads “ I began making videos in early 2018 with the hopes of spreading the truth and waking our people to our true heritage .
There is no doubt that we the European people are the ‘ Lost Tribes ’ the descendants of the children of Israel , the people of the Old Testament ” .
Clearly he believes that we are “ the true Hebrews ” and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heritage ” .
“ 100 Proofs That The Israelites Were White ” is paraded as his best work to date and is one of the least refuted of his works .
But why is this ?
Most of his points are very easily debunked and some of them have absolutely no basis whatsoever .
The thing that makes this video so convincing to many people is the fact that he cites one hundred “ proofs ” , or arguing points .
One man who has a Bitchute channel by the name “ Project_Algiz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of these points , but many people haven ’ t done much to critique these faulty “ proofs ” .
So just how ridiculous is it ?
Let ’ s have a closer look at several of the points he makes .
First , we will take a look at the foremost point made in his video , “ The Saxons – AKA ‘ The Sons of Isaac ” .
In this point he asserts several issues in one , which is a common trend in his points .
That is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to one point to drive the impression that he is pushing true and factually proven points .
Firstly , he cites a Bible verse from Genesis ( Genesis 21:12 ) which simply states that the “ seeds of Isaac will be called by his name ” , that is to say , a tribe of Israelites named after Isaac .
From this verse he erroneously concludes that the “ Saxons ” got their name from “ Isaac ” , which is somehow a “ modernized ” meaning ( even though the name “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CE Roman account ) of “ SaacSon ” ( Isaac + son ) , where the “ I ” was “ simply dropped to read ‘ Sons of Isaac ' ” .
But why would they “ simply drop ” the “ I ” ?
And why make the name singular rather as opposed to plural , which would more accurately translate that they were “ sons ” , or rather “ a tribe of sons ( of Isaac ) ” ?
He continues down this fantastical rabbit hole by asserting that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diverged into a tribe called the “ Saka-Suna ” , but a quick internet search for this supposed tribe brings up nothing more than hits from Christian Identity fantasy sites .
In fact , the closest thing to a tribe with that name is a group of Indonesian jungle-men called the “ Sakai ” .
Not necessarily the culture and phenotypes associated with the Anglo-Saxons , let alone the Hebrews .
Another point he makes in this video is one called “ Which Race Has Truly Spread The Gospels ” .
In this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europeans were the “ primary race of people who brought Christianity into the world ” , wherein he claims that “ as soon as Christianity was spread into Europe , the people heard it , they believed it , and they accepted it ” and that it magically “ ignited the holy spirit ” in Europeans , causing it to spread like the mental and spiritual rabies that it is .
He proceeds to cite how the continued spread of Christianity into European colonies was somehow a biblical prophecy and that Europeans spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the word of God ” , rather than being used as a measure to control native populations , as was the case in Europe itself .
Truthvids does , however , concede that whenever the missionaries stop , Christianity dies out .
An interesting point that he makes immediately after pointing this out is a verse , John 10:27 , which states “ My sheep hear my voice , and I know them and they follow me ” , asserting that the followers of Jesus were looked at as sheep by none @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sharply contrasts with verses like John 3:16 which states that “ WHOEVER ” comes to Jesus shall be “ saved ” .
To wrap up this point , he states that Europe has “ remained Christian ever since the first wave of apostles came ” and that this is due to the alleged fact that “ the Whites of today are the real true children of Israel ” .
But as with many of the points he makes , he overlooks some very fundamental facts .
For example , Europe hasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have largely abandoned Christianity , with the Czech Republic , for instance , having a population of 34.5 % identifying as “ irreligious ” and another 44.7 % “ undeclared ” , as of 2011 .
Another interesting contradiction is the case of Bosnia , a Southern Slavic nation which has been Muslim since the 14th century .
Ironically enough , this was in large part due to a crusade launched by Pope John XXII , an effort to crush a heresy which resulted in Bosnians preferring Islam over Christianity .
Also , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the Balkans weren ’ t officially Christian until the 9th-14th centuries , which is ( in the case of Lithuania ) just over one thousand years after Christianity entered Europe .
The third and final point I will go over in this article is the point labeled “ All Apostles Have Traditional English Names ” .
In this section of the video he claims that the names of the apostles , Matthew , Mark , Luke , Paul , James , John , etc , are “ traditional English names ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditionally ” English names beginning quite some time after the Christianization of the English .
True traditional English names are much different , to the point where Christian names sound entirely foreign ( I wonder why ? )
.
Traditional English names sound much more similar to traditional Scandinavian names , with names such as Æthelberht , Eadbald , Eorcenberht , Oswiu , Bede , Hlothhere , Arwald , Oswald , Sæward , Ricberht , etc .
Not necessarily what comes to mind when you think of the names of the apostles .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Paul ” , “ Luke ” , “ Jacob ” , “ Mark ” , etc , are “ white ” names , and that this proves that “ the apostles were white ” , “ Jesus was white ” , and that the “ Israelites were white ” , when in reality they are the traditional names of “ fellow whites ” , if you will .
This is akin to a Sub-Saharan African claiming that Africans are the true Arabs because he has the name Muhammad .
So in conclusion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ herself , “ why is he pushing this ?
” .
Is it that he genuinely believes in this stuff ?
Could it be that he was misled and bought into a convenient narrative to use as a crutch for his crippling case of Christ Insanity ?
Or is it possible that he is a missionary on a mission to bring “ lost sheep back into the flock ” ?
With points so faulty that had they been structures they would be ordered demolished and leveled after being deemed public safety hazards , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The Truth ” ?

From this verse he erroneously concludes that the “Saxons” got their name from “Isaac”, which is somehow a “modernized” meaning (even though the name “Saxon” appeared in a 3rd century CE Roman account) of “SaacSon” (Isaac + son), where the “I” was “simply dropped to read ‘Sons of Isaac'”. But why would they “simply drop” the “I”? And why make the name singular rather as opposed to plural, which would more accurately translate that they were “sons”, or rather “a tribe of sons (of Isaac)”?
He continues down this fantastical rabbit hole by asserting that they were the Scythians and that they had diverged into a tribe called the “Saka-Suna”, but a quick internet search for this supposed tribe brings up nothing more than hits from Christian Identity fantasy sites. In fact, the closest thing to a tribe with that name is a group of Indonesian jungle-men called the “Sakai”. Not necessarily the culture and phenotypes associated with the Anglo-Saxons, let alone the Hebrews.
Another point he makes in this video is one called “Which Race Has Truly Spread The Gospels”. In this part of the video he claims that Europeans were the “primary race of people who brought Christianity into the world”, wherein he claims that “as soon as Christianity was spread into Europe, the people heard it, they believed it, and they accepted it” and that it magically “ignited the holy spirit” in Europeans, causing it to spread like the mental and spiritual rabies that it is.
He proceeds to cite how the continued spread of Christianity into European colonies was somehow a biblical prophecy and that Europeans spread Christianity purely for the sake of spreading “the word of God”, rather than being used as a measure to control native populations, as was the case in Europe itself. Truthvids does, however, concede that whenever the missionaries stop, Christianity dies out. An interesting point that he makes immediately after pointing this out is a verse, John 10:27, which states “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me”, asserting that the followers of Jesus were looked at as sheep by none other than Jesus himself. This verse sharply contrasts with verses like John 3:16 which states that “WHOEVER” comes to Jesus shall be “saved”.
To wrap up this point, he states that Europe has “remained Christian ever since the first wave of apostles came” and that this is due to the alleged fact that “the Whites of today are the real true children of Israel”. But as with many of the points he makes, he overlooks some very fundamental facts. For example, Europe hasn’t “remained Christian”. Many countries have largely abandoned Christianity, with the Czech Republic, for instance, having a population of 34.5% identifying as “irreligious” and another 44.7% “undeclared”, as of 2011.
Another interesting contradiction is the case of Bosnia, a Southern Slavic nation which has been Muslim since the 14th century. Ironically enough, this was in large part due to a crusade launched by Pope John XXII, an effort to crush a heresy which resulted in Bosnians preferring Islam over Christianity.
Also, many parts of Northern Europe, Iceland, and the Balkans weren’t officially Christian until the 9th-14th centuries, which is (in the case of Lithuania) just over one thousand years after Christianity entered Europe.
The third and final point I will go over in this article is the point labeled “All Apostles Have Traditional English Names”. In this section of the video he claims that the names of the apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul, James, John, etc, are “traditional English names”, but these have only been “traditionally” English names beginning quite some time after the Christianization of the English. True traditional English names are much different, to the point where Christian names sound entirely foreign (I wonder why?). Traditional English names sound much more similar to traditional Scandinavian names, with names such as Æthelberht, Eadbald, Eorcenberht, Oswiu, Bede, Hlothhere, Arwald, Oswald, Sæward, Ricberht, etc. Not necessarily what comes to mind when you think of the names of the apostles.
He uses the assertion that names like “Paul”, “Luke”, “Jacob”, “Mark”, etc, are “white” names, and that this proves that “the apostles were white”, “Jesus was white”, and that the “Israelites were white”, when in reality they are the traditional names of “fellow whites”, if you will. This is akin to a Sub-Saharan African claiming that Africans are the true Arabs because he has the name Muhammad.
So in conclusion, one has to ask him or herself, “why is he pushing this?”. Is it that he genuinely believes in this stuff? Could it be that he was misled and bought into a convenient narrative to use as a crutch for his crippling case of Christ Insanity? Or is it possible that he is a missionary on a mission to bring “lost sheep back into the flock”? With points so faulty that had they been structures they would be ordered demolished and leveled after being deemed public safety hazards, why does he insist that they are… “The Truth”?

The New Wave of American Marxism

It is no secret that the United States has erupted into chaos during the beginning of this decade .
The result of a global pandemic and widespread riots is a nation unsatisfied and turbulent .
Most of this civil unrest was born after the death of convicted criminal George Floyd by the supposed hands – or , knee , in this case – of police .
Thousands took to the streets to protest ( peacefully or otherwise ) this purportedly terrible injustice , even in European countries where no such event took place .
Statues of great men from our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in line with this rising need for ‘ justice ’ , as a result of their apparent racism – a crime so ghastly that it erased all other facets of these integral historical personalities .
History was spat upon by innumerable institutions in hope of being considered virtuous by the angered mob , shouting their cries of revolution – which was , surprisingly , backed enthusiastically by the powers that be .
However , these riots were not only in the name of racial justice .
Among the crowd were Antifa , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was ‘ fascist ’ ( or whatever they decided to be so ) and Leftists of all kinds united in hatred of this ‘ fascism ’ .
Socialists , communists , anarchists , all who believe that the paramount evils of this world and all the maladies of this country are rooted in capitalism and authority , precisely that of the law .
2020 was a grand leap to action for “ leftists ” all over the country to unite in hatred of many things , their homeland being one of those .

This belief is finding its rebirth in the Land of the Free , within the young minds of those dissatisfied with our long-decaying state of affairs , and still inclined against the concepts they ’ ve been indoctrinated to perceive as oppressive .
They see his solution as the only solution .
It would be ignorant not to recognize how the events of 2020 have united the Left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Right in support of Donald Trump , leading him to his victory .

Thousands took to the streets to protest (peacefully or otherwise) this purportedly terrible injustice, even in European countries where no such event took place.
Statues of great men from our country’s past were torn down in line with this rising need for ‘justice’, as a result of their apparent racism – a crime so ghastly that it erased all other facets of these integral historical personalities. History was spat upon by innumerable institutions in hope of being considered virtuous by the angered mob, shouting their cries of revolution – which was, surprisingly, backed enthusiastically by the powers that be.
However, these riots were not only in the name of racial justice.
Among the crowd were Antifa, a label solely based on abolishing all that was ‘fascist’ (or whatever they decided to be so) and Leftists of all kinds united in hatred of this ‘fascism’.

This belief is finding its rebirth in the Land of the Free, within the young minds of those dissatisfied with our long-decaying state of affairs, and still inclined against the concepts they’ve been indoctrinated to perceive as oppressive.
They see his solution as the only solution.
It would be ignorant not to recognize how the events of 2020 have united the Left almost as energetically as 2016 united the Right in support of Donald Trump, leading him to his victory.
These leftists, those that have only just stumbled onto the political scene and have yet been radicalized into an ideology far stronger and more pervasive than liberalism, aim to revolutionize the United States in all sorts of radically destructive ways.
Every American tradition, every historical or patriotic symbol that makes us united and durable, down to this country’s flag, is in their world a symbol of hate – of oppression, racism, of whiteness, and therefore slavery.
National unity is repudiated by them, as is history, if it does not include some event of broadened liberty or ‘equality’. America itself to them is a hate symbol, and pride in this nation – even entirely detached from the current government – is therefore ‘hateful’, and must be extinguished.

The United States has become weakened by its inner turmoil, and will only become more divided as time goes on, but I am hopeful for the future.

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that surround you 24/7 could be interfering with your immune system function, even triggering allergic and inflammatory responses while interfering with your body’s repair mechanisms
We are living in an unprecedented time, one in which electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from cellphones and cellphone base stations, Wi-Fi devices, power lines, electrical wiring and even computers, televisions and microwave ovens, surround us 24/7. Olle Johansson, Ph.D., associate professor and head of the Experimental Dermatology Unit, Department of Neuroscience, at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, is among those who have questioned whether humans can survive such an assault.
In a 2009 review published in Pathophysiology, Johansson points out that since life on Earth began more than 3.5 billion years ago, the geomagnetic fields and radiation from the sun have remained largely static.[i] During life’s progression, living organisms have developed ways to cope with these influences, including developing pigmented skin to shield from the sun or, for other species, living underground or under the dense, protective foliage of a rainforest.
During the last 100 years, however, as EMFs became prolific, we have not developed a similar adaptation. “Is it possible to adapt our biology to altered exposure conditions in less than 100 years, or do we have to have thousands of years – or longer – for such an adaptation? And, in the meantime, what kind of safety standards must we adopt?” Johansson asked.
After reviewing a number of papers on the effects of manmade EMFs on the immune system, he found disturbing consequences and ultimately concluded not only that existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health but also that limits should be set on the deployment of further untested technologies.
EMFs Disturb Immune Function via Allergic and Inflammatory Responses
EMFs present in everyday life, including at workplaces, homes and areas of recreation, disturb the human body at the cellular level, often at low or very low (non-thermal) levels. Johansson cites research showing that EMF exposures stimulate increases in mast cells and other physiological changes that indicate an allergic response and inflammatory conditions.
He believes that rapid rises in the incidence of allergies, asthma and other sensitivities worldwide are a warning signal, as chronic exposure to EMFs may lead to immune dysfunction, chronic allergic responses, inflammatory responses and overall ill health. EMF exposures have also been linked to a variety of specific immune system effects, including:[ii]
Overreaction of the immune system Alteration of immune cells Profound increases in mast cells in the upper layers of the skin Larger size of mast cells in electrohypersensitive individuals Suppressed or impaired immune function Decreased count of natural killer cells, immune cells that help kill cells infected with viruses and control early signs of cancer[iii] Negative effects on pregnancy
It’s estimated that up to 10% of populations in the U.S., Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Norway and many other countries may be affected by electrohypersensitivity (EHS), a condition that leads to a number of physical and cognitive symptoms upon exposure to EMFs. Common symptoms of EHS include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, cognitive problems, sleep interruptions and skin symptoms such as stinging, itching and burning.
According to Johansson, “[I]t is evident from our preliminary experimental data that various biological alterations are present in EHS persons claiming to suffer from exposure to EMF. The alterations are themselves enough to fully explain the EHS symptoms, and the involvement of the immune system is evident.”[iv]
Damages from EMF exposure are not only a matter of increased cell damage but also of reduced repair, facilitating the spread of disease. The report cites evidence that EMF exposure may contribute to DNA damage and adverse effects on cellular communication, metabolism and repair and cancer surveillance within the body, along with causing adverse cardiac and neurological effects, including memory impairment, changes in brainwave activity and disturbed cognitive function.
Biological effects from EMF exposure may occur at levels significantly below U.S. and international limits. Biologically based exposure standards are needed to protect humans from the effects of even low-level EMF exposure, but, according to Johansson, “such a completely protective safety limit would, for many exposure situations, be zero.”
Unfortunately, the currently accelerated rollout of 5G technology, which requires the installation of numerous small cell transmission devices in neighborhoods, stands to dramatically increase EMF exposures and their related health consequences.
1,000 Studies on Adverse Effects of EMFs
The body of evidence showing that EMFs cause harm has become too large to ignore. At GreenMedInfo.com, you can browse through more than 1,000 EMF abstracts and their connection to oxidative stress, DNA damage, cancer, inflammation and more.
More than a dozen studies focus on the immunotoxic effects of EMFs, including potentially reducing immune function in the elderly and affecting cellular processes that play a role in cancer development and the proper growth and development of organisms.[v]
“Living organisms can detect and respond immediately to low environmental levels of these fields,” Henry Lai with the department of bioengineering at the University of Washington in Seattle, wrote.[vi] As such, it’s important to take action now to protect yourself and your family from unnecessary EMF exposures as much as possible.
Limiting your cellphone use is one way to do this, but to learn more, I urge you to sign up for the free 5G Crisis Summit: Worldwide Call to Action, which is taking place June 1-7, 2020.

Shelah-na-Gigs

By Thomas Wright From The Worship of the Generative Powers [ 1865 ] It is a singular fact that in Ireland it was the female organ which was shown in this position of protector upon the churches , and the elaborate though rude manner in which these figures were sculptured , show that they were considered as objects of great importance .
They represented a female exposing herself to view in the most unequivocal manner , and are carved on a block which appears to have served as the key-stone to the arch of the door-way of the church , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of all who entered .
They appear to have been found principally in the very old churches , and have been mostly taken down , so that they are only found among the ruins .
People have given them the name of Shelah-na-Gig , which , we are told , means in Irish Julian the Giddy , and is simply a term for an immodest woman ; but it is well understood that they were intended as protecting charms against the fascination of the evil eye .
We have given copies of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ V and VI .
The first of these 21 was found in an old church at Rochestown , in the county of Tipperary , where it had long been known among the people of the neighbourhood by the name given above .
It was placed in the arch over the doorway , but has since been taken away .
Our second example of the Shelah-na-Gig 22 was taken from an old church lately pulled down in the county Cavan , and is now preserved in the museum of the Society of Antiquaries of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Ballinahend Castle , also in the county of Tipperary ; and the fourth 24 is preserved in the museum at Dublin , but we are not informed from whence it was obtained .
The next , 25 which is also now preserved in the Dublin Museum , was taken from the old church on the White Island , in Lough Erne , county Fermanagh .
This church is supposed by the Irish antiquaries to be a structure of very great antiquity , for some of them would carry its date as far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is probably an exaggeration .

It was found in 1859 at Chloran , in a field on Sir Benjamin ’ s estate known by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” from whence stones had been removed at previous periods , though there are now very small remains of building .
This stone was found at a depth of about five feet from the surface , which shows that the building , a church no doubt , must have fallen into ruin a long time ago .
Contiguous to this field , and at a distance of about two hundred yards from the spot where the Shelah-na-Gig was found , there is an abandoned churchyard , separated from the Old Town field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The belief in the salutary power of this image appears to be a superstition of great antiquity , and to exist still among all peoples who have not reached a certain degree of civilization .

28 May not these columns have been intended , if we knew the truth , as protections for the people of the district in which they stood , and placed in the position where they could most conveniently been seen ?

Such figures are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Egyptian antiquities , but among every people who had any knowledge of art , from the aborigines of America to the far more civilized natives of Japan ; and it would be easy to give examples from almost every country we know , but we confine ourselves to our more special part of the subject .
In the last century , a number of small statuettes in metal , in a rude but very peculiar style of art , were found in the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , in a part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and by the tribe of the Obotrites , considered as a division of the Vendes .
They appeared to be intended to represent some of the deities worshipped by the people who made them ; and some of them bore inscriptions , one of which was in Runic characters .
From this circumstance we should presume that they belonged to a period not much , if any , older than the fall of the Western Empire .
Some time afterwards , a few statuettes in metal were found in the island of Sardinia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mentioned , that D ’ Hancarville , who published an account of them with engravings , considered himself justified in ascribing them to the Vandals , who occupied that island , as well as the tract of Germany alluded to .

In fact , it was a form and idea more unequivocally represented in the Roman figures which we have already described , 31 but which continued through the middle ages , and was preserved in a popular name for that organ , abricot , or expressed more energetically , abricot fendu , used by Rabelais , and we believe still preserved in France .

We have given copies of all the examples yet known in our plates V and VI. The first of these 21 was found in an old church at Rochestown, in the county of Tipperary, where it had long been known among the people of the neighbourhood by the name given above. It was placed in the arch over the doorway, but has since been taken away. Our second example of the Shelah-na-Gig 22 was taken from an old church lately pulled down in the county Cavan, and is now preserved in the museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Dublin. The third 23 was found at Ballinahend Castle, also in the county of Tipperary; and the fourth 24 is preserved in the museum at Dublin, but we are not informed from whence it was obtained. The next, 25 which is also now preserved in the Dublin Museum, was taken from the old church on the White Island, in Lough Erne, county Fermanagh. This church is supposed by the Irish antiquaries to be a structure of very great antiquity, for some of them would carry its date as far back as the seventh century, but this is probably an exaggeration. The one which follows 26 was furnished by an old church pulled down by order of the ecclesiastical commissioners, and it was presented to the museum at Dublin, by the late Dean Dawson. Our last example 27 was formerly in the possession of Sir Benjamin Chapman, Bart., of Killoa Castle, Westmeath, and is now in a private collection in London. It was found in 1859 at Chloran, in a field on Sir Benjamin’s estate known by the name of the “Old Town,” from whence stones had been removed at previous periods, though there are now very small remains of building. This stone was found at a depth of about five feet from the surface, which shows that the building, a church no doubt, must have fallen into ruin a long time ago. Contiguous to this field, and at a distance of about two hundred yards from the spot where the Shelah-na-Gig was found, there is an abandoned churchyard, separated from the Old Town field only by a loose stone wall.
The belief in the salutary power of this image appears to be a superstition of great antiquity, and to exist still among all peoples who have not reached a certain degree of civilization. The universality of this superstition leads us to think that Herodotus may have erred in the explanation he has given of certain rather remarkable monuments of a remote antiquity. He tells us that Sesostris, king of Egypt, raised columns in some of the countries he conquered, on which he caused to be figured the female organ of generation as a mark of contempt for those who had submitted easily. 28 May not these columns have been intended, if we knew the truth, as protections for the people of the district in which they stood, and placed in the position where they could most conveniently been seen? This superstitious sentiment may also offer the true explanation of an incident which is said to have been represented in the mysteries of Eleusis. Ceres, wandering over the earth in search of her daughter Proserpine, and overcome with grief for her loss, arrived at the hut of an Athenian peasant woman named Baubo, who received her hospitably, and offered her to drink the refreshing mixture which the Greeks call Cyceon (κυκεων). The goddess rejected the offered kindness, and refused all consolation. Baubo, in her distress, bethought her of another expedient to allay the grief of her guest. She relieved her sexual organs of that outward sign which is the evidence of puberty, and then presented them to the view of Ceres, who, at the sight, laughed, forgot her sorrows, and drank the cyceon. 29 The prevailing belief in the beneficial influence of this sight, rather than a mere pleasantry, seems to afford the best explanation of this story.
This superstition which, as shown by the Shelah-na-Gigs of the Irish churches, prevailed largely in the middle ages, explains another class of antiquities which are not uncommon. These are small figures of nude females exposing themselves in exactly the same manner as in the sculptures on the churches in Ireland just alluded to. Such figures are found not only among Roman, Greek, and Egyptian antiquities, but among every people who had any knowledge of art, from the aborigines of America to the far more civilized natives of Japan; and it would be easy to give examples from almost every country we know, but we confine ourselves to our more special part of the subject.

Three of these are engraved in our plate VIII. On the top of the right hand jamb of the door 36 is a naked male figure, and in the same position on the other side a female, which are described to us as representing Adam and Eve, and our informant, to whom we owe the drawings describes that at the apex 38 merely as “the figure of a woman holding her legs apart.” We understand that the surface of the stone in these sculptures is so much worn that it is quite uncertain whether the sexual parts were ever distinctly marked, but from the postures and positions of the hands, and the situation in which these figures are placed, they seem to resemble closely, except in their superior style of art, the Shelah-na-Gigs of Ireland.

The figure of the female organ, as well as the male, appears to have been employed during the middle ages of Western Europe far more generally than we might suppose, placed upon buildings as a talisman against evil influences, and especially against witchcraft and the evil eye, and it was used for this purpose in many other parts of the world. It was the universal practice among the Arabs of Northern Africa to stick up over the door of the house or tent, or put up nailed on a board in some other way, the generative organ of a cow, mare, or female camel, as a talisman to avert the influence of the evil eye. It is evident that the figure of this member was far more liable to degradation in form than that of the male, because it was much less easy, in the hands of rude draughtsmen, to delineate in an intelligible form, and hence it soon assumed shapes which though intended to represent it, we might rather call symbolical of it, though no symbolism was intended.

We have been informed that there is an old church in Ireland where the male organ is drawn on one side of the door, and the Shelah-na-Gig on the other, and that, though perhaps comparatively modern, their import as protective charms are well understood. We can easily imagine men, under the influence of these superstitions, when they were obliged to halt for a moment by the side of a building, drawing upon it such a figure, with the design that it should be a protection to themselves, and thus probably we derive from superstitious feelings the common propensity to draw phallic figures on the sides of vacant walls and in other places.
