A few months ago my husband's coworker told him about a fertility stone that she wore. Crazy enough, she went to a local stone shop and bought a fertility stone, just because she thought it was pretty. She had no intention of getting pregnant and was not trying whatsoever. The next month her period never came...she was pregnant! She blamed the stone. Hahahaha.
Nick came home and told me about this. I was intrigued! But me, being the skeptical person that I am, pushed this aside and didn't think much of it. This past month I have consistently thought about that story. Today I finally decided, what the heck!? I can use all the help I can get! So I went to a stone shop and bought a fertility figure stone. It is an image of the Venus of Willendorf. She is an ancient figure who was first discovered as a statue in an archeological site in France. She has long been known to bring fertility and health to women. I bought it in a pink stone, pink being the color of feminine reproduction and fertility.
The belief in stone's having healing powers is an ancient practice and belief system. Groups of people from as early as ancient Egypt believed that placing stones on your person or in your home was beneficial. They believed it was beneficial because, in their perspective, Mother Earth could provide all sorts of healing tools (herbs, water, etc.) and stones from the Earth could align your Being better with Mother Earth and therefore increase your peace and health. To me...it makes sense. Who am I to dog this belief system? And heck there is a lot of documentation that shows the benefits. It's worth a try if I get a baby out of it!
Who knows if it will work, but I really like the idea of this little Buddha-looking figure being around my neck; possibly bringing me fertile blessings. :D
