Fertility Ritual
This is a two-part ritual in a pretty
easy format, designed with the focus on the
female who will carry the child to
term.
It can be used before insemination, or insemination can be included in it.
You can make it as simple or as complex as you wish, but this is the basic outline:
On either the night of a full moon, or
on the evening of the ovulation
peak of your partner's cycle..
Gather flowers, and flower petals -
preferably rose petals, but
any red coloured petals will do.
Petals because they
surround the seed area of the plant,
and
red to indicate blood, which, for the
purpose of
this ritual we'll say represents the Life Force.
Arrange your flowers around your ritual
area, and (carefully) intersperse
them
with various coloured candles of different sizes and shapes.
If you wish, you can choose your favourite, soothing
background
music, and some incense if you like it.
Also have some fresh fruit to
eat. Something with obvious seeds in
them, like apples, peaches or cherries.
Apples are particularly good for this.
You can do this with just the two of you, or with a gathering of friends.
Set the mood by playing the music and lighting the candles.
Sit together facing each other while
visualising,
and talking about everything you can
think of which is growing, healthy and
full.
Here is where you can get creative with
speaking your wishes and
when,
if you feel the urge, to invoke the energy of a
Goddess
of fertility (of your choice) to help add to the ambience.
As you speak your wishes, your partner
lies down on her back
and you both imagine her belly growing with new life.
Most important is that she imagines, or
visualises, being deeply pregnant, and
particularly that she visualises the
vital, energetic sperm
fertilizing the warm, welcoming egg (this imagery is the
key to the ritual!), and
then the egg implanting firmly and well into her body.
Have her let you know when she has a firm image of this, and at that point
sprinkle some rose petals around her, and inseminate in whatever
form you choose
at this stage - if that is your wish.
Otherwise, allow her to bite into an
apple, or whichever piece of fruit she likes.
As she tastes, chews and swallows
the bite of fruit, have her imagine that she's receiving
the healthy,
fertilized, growing egg into her body.
Then allow her to lie there
uninterrupted while she concentrates softly on feelings
of expansion and growth,
while you, and the others if there are other people there too, sit
in gentle
meditation until she feels like getting up.
When she does get up, make a point of
hugging her and whispering
YES three times in her ear.
Then share some of the
rest of the fruit between you, and with any other
people that may have joined you for the ritual, keeping one piece of
fruit to bury or plant in earth the next morning.
The earth can be in a pot, or somewhere outside in the garden.
Burying/planting the fruit is the second part of the ritual.
When you have buried/planted this piece of fruit (do it with her), say
"So Mote it Be"
and the ritual is complete.
The length of the first part of the
ritual is up to you, but I do recommend that it's done in the
evening, or late
at night when everyone is relaxed and the cares of the day are over.
This is powerful magic!
You may use it for yourself whenever you
need to
but if you wish to pass it on to others please
refer them to the whole of this text and
tell them it came from me.
