The Adinkra symbols above are Nokore; Truth, Awurade Bataanfo;God, The Mother and Obaatan Owaamu; Warm embrace of The Mother. These symbols of nurturing are the foundations for which we will prepare the new mother for this beautiful and sacred Rite of Passage. The initiation of wombanhood through the birth process is a time of paradoxes; strength and vulnerability, resilience and surrender, magic and marvel. The honor to stand with someone as they embark on this journey is a great one, and the education and love we feed the expectant mother is food for the Soul. Ashe!.
