When a woman is pregnant, she becomes the very essence of the goddess: she who carries life within her, she who will rebirth new life created from old.There is more to a Pagan pregnancy than simply recognising that pregnancy and birth have spiritual aspects. This book addresses those aspects of pregnancy and birth from a uniquely Neopagan perspective. Rituals and meditations form an essential part of the book, designed to help women attune to the energies that shift throughout pregnancy.The topics include: spiritually preparing for pregnancy; choosing to become pregnant; miscarriage and abortion; rituals for conception, safe pregnancy, and safe delivery; responsible magical practice during pregnancy; ideological examination of pregnancy in myth and folklore; and, reference lists of animal spirits and deities associated with safe pregnancy and birth.
