IMPORTANT NOTE:

Pagan Pregnancy still has not been assigned a new release date. I've had many requests for the manuscript, made by people who are pregnant and looking for a book like this. While I'd love to share it with you (that's why I wrote the book, after all!) I do not have the legal right to distribute or release it in any form, as it's under contract with a publisher. Please believe me, as soon as I have news of a new release date I will shout it from the rooftops. I've received more mail and comments and communication concerning this book than any other book of mine has drawn. It's very encouraging, and it's wonderful to hear such enthusiastic feedback about the project. Thank you all for your understanding. (November 2008)


Pagan Pregnancy: A Spiritual Journey from Maiden to Mother

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 recognizing that pregnancy and birth have spiritual aspects. This book addresses those aspects of pregnancy and birth from a uniquely Neopagan perspective.

Rituals, exercises, and meditations form an essential part of the book, designed to help the woman attune to the energies that shift throughout pregnancy.

Topics explored include:

  • Spiritually preparing for pregnancy
  • Spiritual support for the physical, emotional, and spiritual changes that occur throughout gestation
  • Spiritual support for miscarriage and abortion
  • Rituals for conception, safe pregnancy, and safe delivery
  • Responsible magical practice during pregnancy
  • Ideological examination of pregnancy in myth and folklore
  • Reference lists of animal spirits and deities associated with safe pregnancy and birth
