Items I included in my birth altar collection: *An ink drawing (see picture at left) *A table cover that reminded me of opening, and water, and the Earth *Fresh flowers that included a budding rose branch (to remind me that although there may be thorns, you get a rose in the end!) *A homebirth prayer *Two rocks added by Liza *A great quote about pain (thanks Melknee from AMU!) *A "goddess" sculpture that I created *A purple votive candle holder with goddess etching *Candles *A wood carving of Mary, Joesph and the baby Jesus *Tea roses that I dried to to preserve perfect stages of blooming/opening |
