Fertility might be one of the most scary or avoided forms of magic by many people. Say you were to have a fertility statue in your home and someone picked it up and asked, "What's this for?". You know that if you say, "fertility" to them the chances of them dropping the statue on the floor directly from their hands is a very great one. Fear of having a bunch of babies or even one unplanned is a great fear. Fertility does not just focus on a womb full of fetuses. If we look at the definition of fertile, we can gain new ideas about fertility on a magical level:
"
fer·tile –adjective
1. bearing, producing, or capable of producing vegetation, crops, etc., abundantly; prolific: fertile soil.
2. bearing or capable of bearing offspring.
3. abundantly productive: a fertile imagination."
Fertility is not just about bearing a child and multiplying our population. It also includes other forms of creation, from having a green thumb, to being imaginative. Creativity being a big one here. When we make an art project or find ourselves fruitful in our work, we are in fact experiencing a fertility type of energy. When one does fertility magic or raises fertility energy it can manifest itself in any of these categories.
Now, I am not saying we can not fine tune the energies to fill a certain goal in these categories. You can be specific and focus more towards a green thumb, being productive or in fact creating life in yourself. But as I well know, raising fertility energy can result in a new art project when you were hoping for a baby. Now I do not mind having a new art or writing project, or developing a green thumb, or having another child. In fact I welcome them all.
