What a great post! I love your tiny little mother mind! I did not know about vulva badges or (Volvo badges as my phone would prefer me to use)

but in Ireland many castles are carved with something similar called a Sheel Na Gig, Sheila being Irish for woman. They’re very aggressive looking and were used to ward off danger. Glad you are getting the vaccine and I would not mess with precious Sophie and her delicate system either. Much love to you both!

Oh Elizabeth, this is such rich territory for poetry, essays, life! Thank you for sharing it, I had now idea about apotraic amulets. I know you are holding fast to your life and to Sophie's and I applaud all that you do to keep us, your friends and admirers, in the loop. Miss you and wish we lived closer. Big hugs, Suzanne
