Just like any Wiccan ritual/spell/celebration/general rule: go in with an open heart and an open mind. In another fornication of Zeus with Alkmene (mother of Hercules), the powerful god promised that from the family of Perseas (grandfather of Alkmene) an offspring would be born, and his fate would be to become king of the city of Argos. The jealous Hera persuaded Zeus to say that the king of Argos was going to become the first-born offspring from the family of Perseas. Therefore, Eilytheia helped Hera and with her two functions, initially protracted and delayed Alkmene’s labour of Hercules and at the same moment, she furthered the preterm labour of Nikippi (cousin of Alkmene) to Eurystheas (17). Based on Zeus’s promise, Eurystheas became king of Argos and he was the one to challenge Hercules on performing his twelve labours.

I know, most days you feel exhausted, your body is swelling in places you never thought could swell. Some days you just want to hide in an enormous t-shirt. I get it. I’ve been there. And it’s ok to not feel sexy. It’s ok not to like the way pregnancy has treated your body. I’m still going to tell you how sexy you are, and I hope your partner if you have one, tells you the same. Even if you don’t have anyone telling you this, then let it be me. I hope, eventually, it will come from you.Venus of Hohlefels, the earliest Venus figurine, Paleolithic period, mammoth ivory. (Ramessos / CC BY SA 3.0 ) Hera was an important goddess of the Ancient Greek pantheon, one of the 12 major Olympian deities, and a sister-wife of Zeus. She is the mother figure, a goddess of fertile earth, marriages, women, childbirth, and family. Hera was one of the oldest deities in Greek mythology, with clear roots to an older, pre-Greek Indo-European origin. The Celtic and Roman goddess of fertility, Epona was also the patron of horses and mules, worshipped from 400 BCE until Christianization around 400 CE. In fact, her name is derived from the Gaulish term epo, which is the Latin equo for horse. Her cult probably originated in Gaul but was later adopted by the Roman cavalry. The goddess was concerned with the fertility and healing of domestic animals, and is commonly depicted with horses. 10- Parvati goddess Parvati as a two-armed consort goddess of Shiva She is considered to be a pre-Hellenic goddess of labour as her name is mentioned in several Linear B tablets from Ancient Crete, where Eileithyia was born by Hera.
