The Moon Is a Mother, Too

Empower yourself, call in fertility, and connect to your baby through moon rituals, affirmations, astrology, breathwork, color correspondences, ancestral healing, and more

Pregnancy can be one of the most spiritually transformative times in our lives, if we know how to access our magic. When a child is born, so is a parent—a true double-action spell. With Emilia Ortiz's (@ethereal.1) expert teachings, drawn from the rich traditions of Afro-Caribbean brujeria, learn how to:

• release your expectations around conceiving and the pregnancy process
• work with candles, crystals, tarot, and the cycles of the moon
• incorporate herbal baths and other self-care practices
• build a fertility altar
• prepare for labor, both physically and spiritually
• use pregnancy- and breastfeeding-safe herbs for nourishing yourself, energetic cleansing, building milk supply, and postpartum recovery
• heal from previous losses
• and connect to nature for extra grounding and support when you need it.

Reclaiming our ancient wisdom and spiritual insight around pregnancy and childbirth is a radical act. By strengthening your bond with your baby when they are still in the womb, and tapping into your intuition throughout, you are laying the groundwork for a peaceful, sacred nine months—and long after.
