Gentle, sacred, safe, creative, resourceful... blessed.  All of these are words that aptly describe this lovely book, the first line of which reads, "On the day of the Blessingway, we arrive like flowing water:  first a trickle, then a stream.  From this line on, the prose and wisdom of this book flows smoothly, guiding the yummy expecting mommy, pregnant or otherwise, through a series of rituals, recipes, projects and inspirational reading guaranteed to bring the precious moments of pregnancy and birth into a deeply spiritual focus.  Although especially meaningful for Pagan mothers-to-be, those of other paths will also find the material to be not only non-offensive, but extremely beautiful and useful.
