A Bouncing Baby Boy

When we end a Blessingway ceremony for an expectant mom the participants are handed a skein of red thread.  The first person wraps it around her wrist three times then tosses it across the circle to another participant who does the same.  By the time the skein has made it’s way all around the circle we’ve created a web – literally – of friendship for the mother-to-be.

Ends are snipped, knots are tied and everyone leaves with a bracelet of red.


These bracelets stay on until the call goes out that BABY HAS ARRIVED!  Until that call actually comes, though, participants (and the mom who has one, too) can’t help but thing of the wonderful ceremony every time they look down at their wrists.
