For the past five years I have been working with women from around the world to create fertility rituals.
It is a long story how I got involved in this work and one that I may write about in my forthcoming book Fertility Ritual.
The fertility ritual is for any woman or man or couple who is desiring to bring a child into the world. It is for those who have been challenged by the process as well as those who would just like to make it a really conscious and spiritual experience. The ritual is different for each person. It is a spiritual event by nature but draws from a vast universal well of love and wisdom and creative power that applies to any belief system. The work is so exciting for me that I have decided to focus all my attention on writing about it at this time. It is directly connected to the beauty and sacredness of the feminine power to create and nurture life.
As I have been studying and researching all the ancient teachings on female power and spirituality I have fallen in love with this theme and have been led to some amazing teachers who are keepers of some of the most sacred wisdom on the planet today. Women are the key to the great awakening that is needed on this planet. Women hold the knowledge of peace deep within their being. Women are innately connected through their bodies to a source of intuition and power that has the ability to heal and transform this world of ours. The great shift will happen as women are guided back to the wisdom that lives deep within their cellular memory. This is a quiet and powerful journey and one that will happen as mothers teach their daughters about their beauty and power. In our world today, woman has forgotten how to honor herself. Through movies, television, media and the fashion industry our young women have been taught that they must be sexual and sexy but without the depth of spirit and soul to make this sexuality real power as opposed to shallow and empty power. Sexuality is a beautiful thing. But empty sexuality promotes depression and self destructive cycles of behavoir. It denies the very essence of power in women.
As I write about fertility and the sacredness of fhe feminine, I am learning that it is not a long distance we have to go to make the power real. It is just a matter and quiet undertaking of women to begin to learn about their wisdom and then pass it on to their sons and daughters and families and friends. It isn't a revloution, but an evolution.
The Fertility Ritual is a conscious way for women and men to tune in to that very creative power and honor it. Aligning with this power consciously can have a huge impact on our planet today and affect with great love the way we bring new life into the world. It can awaken a woman's knowledge of her own body so that she is able to know her body and honor her body and soul, to and work with her own innate creative power and wisdom to conceive a child out of pure love and awareness.
In Love & Creative Power,

Hi Shannon. I live in Montana now. A while back I did a lot of research in conception rituals, the reincarnation process, how to help create the perfect child, etc., and I have a lot of material I could share with you if you are interested.
Send me an email at libertyson11@yahoo.com if you like. Perhaps there are missing pieces to be filled. Also, it might add a dimension of the "sacred masculine" :)
