fertility charm


I read that in ancient cultures the wild turkey signifies gratitude, abundance and fertility. Now I am contemplating finding a wild turkey to stand by. Maybe some of the fertility vibes will transfer to me. Then again birds and I have a dubious past, I may just end up being attacked by a wild turkey.

  1. Ironic, when you think about the fact that all domestic turkeys need to procreate via artificial insemination...

  2. Happy ICLW!

    I think knowing my luck I would be attacked by the turkey too!!

    I look forward to following your journey-always nice to find a fellow blogger in the same age range!

  4. Hi from ICLW! I never knew that about turkeys. This could explain some things -- when I lived out in the country a few years ago, all the hunters would shoot turkeys near my house. They were obviously killing my fertility icons!!

    I wonder if "Wild Turkey" (the drink) would work in the same way? :)

  5. Hi there from ICLW. I'm a fellow POI-er, POF-er, depending where you fall on the nomenclature business. Anywho... you could always just carry around a bottle of Wild Turkey, but perhaps folks might think you're an alcoholic... (I keed, I keed!) Really? Wild turkeys as a symbol of fertility? That's a new one - thanks for sharing!

    Happy ICLW,

  6. How I wish this was true - I live next door to the Wild Turkey Farm and they frequent our yard most days of the week. Maybe I need to get out there in the mornings and chase them around....

  8. Happy ICLW from #64. Apparently Kokopelli is also a fertility symbol which I got a tattoo of in college (before I was thinking about any fertility symbols or help needed in that area). Well, he had let me down and now it just seem ironic to have a fertility symbol tattoo and be infertile.
