Fertility Folklore Fun
Are You Superstitious?
By Shel Franco
Symbols and Personal Charms
Various items have been named as "lucky" or "positive" when it comes to influencing conception. Here are the most popular ones:
Kokopelli – Native American symbol of abundance, fertility and entertainment. Images of this flute player, depicted with a hunchback, can be found on jewelry and in artwork. - Rose quartz – This beautiful stone is sometimes called the "love stone" and has been credited with increasing fertility and creativity in those that behold it.
- Cowery shell – The simple shape of this shell conjures up images of the uterus. Is it any wonder then why this item is believed to increase fertility and sexual potency? Bracelets and necklaces are a popular way to utilize the cowery shell in jewelry making.
These are only a few of the many people, places and things that are rumored to hold positive fertility powers. While it's never wise to turn you back on sound medical advice, it doesn't hurt to couple your doctor's wisdom with a little fertility folklore fun.
