Fertility Spells: 4 Pregnancy Spells for Hope and New Life

Last Updated on November 2, 2026 by Wishbonix

Wanting a child is one of the deepest wishes a person can have. For some, it happens quickly; for many others, the road is longer and full of hope, waiting and worry. If you are on that road, you are far from alone: trouble conceiving is common, and it affects women and men alike. Fertility spells are among the oldest spells in the world. Since ancient times, people have called on goddesses of birth and abundance, planted seeds, and honored the moon and the spring to ask for a child.

On this page you’ll learn what fertility spells are and how they fit alongside medical care, the correspondences and deities traditionally linked with fertility, and four spells you can cast yourself: an easy fertility spell with an egg, a pregnancy spell to call your child, a blessing for fertility treatment, and a pregnancy blessing to surround a pregnancy with love.

This page is part of our guide to healing spells, which covers spellwork for body, mind and spirit.

What Are Fertility Spells?

A fertility spell is a spell that focuses your intention, hope and energy on conceiving a child. It works through the oldest symbols of new life: eggs, seeds, green growing things, the full moon and the season of spring. Fertility spells help you feel connected, hopeful and open to the child you wish for, and many people find that the ritual itself brings comfort during an uncertain time.

Fertility spells can be cast by anyone hoping for a child: couples trying naturally, people going through fertility treatment, same-sex couples, and those planning to become single parents. They work best as a companion to medical care, never as a replacement for it.

Fertility Spells and Medical Care

No spell can treat a medical cause of infertility or guarantee a pregnancy. Fertility depends on many things, and a doctor can help you find out what’s going on and what your options are. Doctors generally recommend seeing a specialist if you’ve been trying to conceive for a year without success, or after six months if you’re 35 or older, and sooner if you have irregular cycles or a known health condition. Both partners can be checked, as fertility issues affect men as often as women.

Use the spells on this page alongside your medical care, to support your hope and wellbeing along the way. If trying to conceive is weighing heavily on you, talking to a counselor or a support group for people facing infertility can help a great deal.

Correspondences for Fertility and Pregnancy Spells

Important: The plants and herbs listed above are for spellwork only, such as charm bags, altar decorations and candle dressing. Do not eat, drink or take any of them as a supplement while trying to conceive or during pregnancy. Some, including mugwort, St. John’s wort and poppy, can be harmful or can interact with fertility treatments. Always ask your doctor before taking any herb.

Fertility Goddesses and Gods

Almost every culture has honored a deity of fertility and birth. Some of the best known are:

• Isis (Egypt): the great mother goddess and protector of mothers and children
• Hathor (Egypt): goddess of love, joy and motherhood
• Freya and Frigg (Norse): goddesses of love, fertility, marriage and childbirth
• Brigid (Celtic): goddess of the hearth, healing and new beginnings, honored at Imbolc
• Demeter (Greece): goddess of the harvest and the bond between mother and child
• Ostara (Germanic): goddess of spring and the dawn, whose name gave us Easter, with its eggs and hares

You can call on any of these deities in the spells below, or simply on the Goddess, the Universe or the powers you feel closest to.

Easy Fertility Spell with an Egg

The egg has been a symbol of fertility and new life for thousands of years. In this spell, you use sympathetic magic: as the grass grows from the pot where the egg is buried, so new life grows in your life. Use an egg with a brown or pink shell, as these warm, human colors speak of human birth, and a green pen, the color of growth and fertility.

Ingredients You Will Need for the Fertility Spell

• An egg with a pink or brown shell
• A green pen or marker
• A flowerpot
• Potting soil
• Grass seeds
• Water
• Green or red thread

How to Cast the Fertility Spell

1. Cast this spell at dawn on a Friday or Monday close to the full moon, ideally in spring.
2. With the green pen, decorate the egg with a sun, a moon, an equal-armed cross, the symbol of Venus (♀) and a five-pointed star (✩).
3. Hold the egg in both hands, close to your belly or heart, and picture the child you hope for.
4. Bury the egg in the soil-filled pot and sow the grass seeds on the surface.
5. Water the pot well and care for it for nine weeks, speaking your wish to it each time you water it.
6. When the grass is grown, cut a handful and bind it nine times with the thread.
7. Hang the bundle above your bed as a charm for new life.

Pregnancy Spell to Call Your Child

This pregnancy spell is a form of sympathetic magic in which you act out what it will be like to hold your child in your arms. You call on the four directions to bless you with a child. It begins with an Epsom salt bath to cleanse your aura.

Traditionally, this ritual is performed “skyclad” (naked) in a field. Do it only in a completely private place, such as your own enclosed garden. Performing it indoors, facing each direction in turn, works just as well, and so does wearing a loose white robe.

For the Pregnancy Spell You Will Need:

• A cup of Epsom salts
• A private garden or a quiet room

How to Cast the Pregnancy Spell

1. Fill a bath with lukewarm water and dissolve a cup of Epsom salts in it. Immerse yourself fully, then pat yourself dry.
2. Go to your private garden or your quiet room and stand in the center.
3. Face the North, open your arms and say:
   

   To you, my child, my body is open.

4. Face the East and say:
   

   To you, my child, my heart is open.

5. Face the South and say:
   

   To you, my child, my soul is open.

6. Face the West and say:
   

   To you, my child, my arms are open.

7. Bring your arms into a cradle position and imagine, for a moment, holding your future child.
8. Then cross your arms over your chest, as if folding your child into your heart.

Partners can perform this spell together, standing back to back and turning to each direction at the same time.

Blessing for Fertility Treatment

Many people today try to conceive with the help of fertility treatment such as IUI or IVF. The process can be long, physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. This gentle candle blessing helps you bring calm, hope and positive energy to each step of your treatment.

You Will Need

• A green candle (for growth) and a heat-safe holder
• A moss agate or rose quartz
• A small piece of paper and a pen

How to Cast the Fertility Treatment Blessing

1. On the evening before a treatment step, such as a retrieval, transfer or insemination, light the green candle.
2. Hold the stone in your hand and take a few slow breaths.
3. Write the date of your treatment on the paper, and beneath it: “May this day bring new life.”
4. Say:
   

   Hands of healers, guided well,
   Body ready, hope will dwell.
   Seed of life, now find your home,
   Grow in love, you’re not alone.

5. Let the candle burn for a while as you rest, then snuff it out. Keep the paper under your pillow, and carry the stone with you on the day of your treatment.

Fire safety: Burn candles on a heat-safe holder away from anything flammable and never leave them unattended.

Pregnancy Blessing Spell

If you are pregnant, the most important protection for you and your baby is good medical care: keep your prenatal appointments, follow your midwife’s or doctor’s advice, and contact them right away if anything worries you. There is no force more loving than a parent’s love for a child, and this gentle spell is a way to express that love and surround your pregnancy with calm and blessing.

Use a crocheted or knitted square of soft fabric, made from yarn you’re not allergic to, in pink, blue, yellow or white.

For the Pregnancy Blessing Spell You Will Need:

• A crocheted or knitted square of fabric in pink, blue, yellow or white

How to Cast the Pregnancy Blessing Spell

1. Sit alone in a quiet room and think of your child.
2. Lay the cloth over your belly and rest your hands on it.
3. Imagine your child surrounded by warm, golden light: nurtured, loved and growing peacefully.
4. When you’re ready, remove the cloth and keep it in a special place. Later, it can become part of your baby’s first blanket or keepsake box.

Caring for Yourself While You Wait

Trying for a baby can bring months, sometimes years, of hope and disappointment. Be gentle with yourself:

• Share the load. Talk to your partner, a friend or a support group. You don’t have to carry this alone.
• Look after your body and mind with rest, nourishing food, movement you enjoy and things that bring you joy.
• Allow yourself to grieve when a cycle doesn’t work out, or after a loss. Grief is a sign of how much you love the child you hope for.
• Find calm. A spiritual cleansing or a quiet meditation can help when stress builds up.

If you have experienced a pregnancy loss, please know it is not your fault and that support is available. Your doctor or midwife can point you to counseling and support groups.
