Blessingway for my Pal

My beautiful and dear friend Christie is having a baby so we decided to give her a blessingway complete with potluck, smudging, herbal foot bath, mesage, goddess crown, readings, and beads for her labor necklace.

Those she invited were a strong mothering community that surrounds her which included a doula and even her lovely mother.

Potluck was served, we had lots of good conversation, cast a circle and got to work worshipping the goddess in her. As part of the circle we each gave beads and a reading for the Mama and then took a tiny gold thread bracelet (which I am still wearing) to remind us every time we see it to send her love and light. There is also a phone tree waiting to be enlisted when I get the call that her work has started. We will all light white votive for her labor and delivery short and joyous.

Isn't she stunning!
