Before science, fertility drugs, and in vitro fertilization, women turned to ancient and traditional wisdom to help make their dreams of motherhood come true. The concepts presented in this book derive from traditional European, American, and Asian metaphysical and folklore. While they should not be understood as directions, recommendations, or prescriptions of any kind, they provide a fascinating overview of the ways our ancestors went about increasing the likelihood of becoming pregnant and excellent tips for the modern couple seeking to become pregnant! Many ancient secrets from a variety of cultures worldwide are included, among them traditional symbols, colors, herbs, and foods. These are traditions and methods that worked for the women of the past, our grandmothers, great grandmothers, great-great-grandmothers, and the mothers before. These fertility symbols are a part of our history. They are part of our own culture and part of the myth and folklore of other cultures. Fertility wisdom exists in our ancestral memory, in the very cells that make up our bodies. The symbols are powerful, magical, like a sacred prayer to the heavens. They have worked for generations, and they can work for you, too! Author Donna Stellhorn doesn’t claim to be a Medical Doctor or Scientist; she’s a successful Astrologer and Feng Shui expert with over 20 years experience as a consulting professional and many more years of study and practice leading into her profession. Her book offers readers an opportunity to access the unique blend of techniques she uses to identify the steps to improve fertility energy in your life.

Welcomed as liberation and dismissed as exploitation, egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) has rapidly become one of the most widely-discussed and influential new reproductive technologies of this century. In Freezing Fertility, Lucy van de Wiel takes us inside the world of fertility preservation—with its egg freezing parties, contested age limits, proactive anticipations and equity investments—and shows how the popularization of egg freezing has profound consequences for the way in which female fertility and reproductive aging are understood, commercialized and politicized. Beyond an individual reproductive choice for people who may want to have children later in life, Freezing Fertility explores how the rise of egg freezing also reveals broader cultural, political and economic negotiations about reproductive politics, gender inequities, age normativities and the financialization of healthcare. Van de Wiel investigates these issues by analyzing a wide range of sources—varying from sparkly online platforms to heart-breaking court cases and intimate autobiographical accounts—that are emblematic of each stage of the egg freezing procedure. By following the egg’s journey, Freezing Fertility examines how contemporary egg freezing practices both reflect broader social, regulatory and economic power asymmetries and repoliticize fertility and aging in ways that affect the public at large. In doing so, the book explores how the possibility of egg freezing shifts our relation to the beginning and end of life.

Signs, and especially symbols, are representations often of the abstract rather than the literal, which allows for a much broader interpretation of their meaning. A look at any dictionary will tell you what they are, but here we ask why and how they came to exist. Here we look for reasons why so many of us are visually illiterate, and why we no longer understand the symbolism which communicated stories and information to our forebears. We also see how symbols have changed with time, and how they have been manipulated to make them encapsulate new meanings.
