About This Candle

When I received two requests in one day for a fertility candle, I knew this needed to be born. What I love about this candle is that it speaks to whatever type of fertility is needed in life! The wonderful quote may be interpreted metaphorically in calling upon both our own masculine and feminine energies--and literally as a call to conceive a child. And what better way than by candlelight? :) Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon

1.   Taking Charge of Your Fertility : The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control and Pregnancy

    by Toni Weschler (Paperback - 2001)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: Author Toni Weschler has been teaching fertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just now gaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertility signs including peaks in morning body temperature and changes in cervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine when ovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful for not only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who are aiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemical contraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who have suffered from infertility. It also features thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests and treatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus a topnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants to better understand her body.

The Everything Getting Pregnant Book is a one-of-a-kind fertility book that outlines the steps to follow when planning for a pregnancy, such as discontinuing birth control methods, exercising, and eating well.

   From Amazon.com: Infertility specialist Christopher D. Williams, M.D., counsels the "everyday, presumably fertile couple" in The Fastest Way to Get Pregnant Naturally: The Latest Information on Conceiving a Healthy Baby on Your Timetable. Two-career partners can often have a difficult time coordinating and planning what should be a joyful undertaking.

His timetable is clear and concise, and his list of sources and bibliography offer further assistance.

1.   Let's Get It On [Deluxe Edition]

   ~ Marvin Gaye (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1993

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: Marvin Gaye's 1973 album, Let's Get It On, is a marvel of sexual blandishment every bit the artistic equal of, say, John Donne's best seduction poems. The difference, though, is that the poetry here isn't in the verse--which gets a trifle clichéd--but in the supple pulse of the grooves and in the aching need of Gaye's sensual voice. The marvelous title track, a No. 1 hit, riffs on the earlier hook of Gaye's "What's Going On" to reach a more primal climax, and everything else here--a steamy swirl of sax, strings, and backing voices--is sexy, beautiful, and simply sublime. This deluxe edition adds almost 30 tracks from the same time period, including demo and alternate versions, a live version of "Come Get to This," and "Let's Get It On (Part III)," a.k.a. "Keep Gettin' It On."

 

 

2.   Voodoo [EXPLICIT LYRICS]

   ~ D'Angelo (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 2000

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Like Robin Hood working on a tip from Chuck D, D'Angelo has stolen back the soul that was missing from the just-add-water R&B scene. Voodoo is a simmering cauldron of sound, a magical collection. Stained with sweat, longing, and rage, this is an album with trouble on the brain. But it also includes sacred sweet nothings and rapturous raw rhythms to get you through the night.

 

 

3.   Al Green - Greatest Hits

   ~ Al Green (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1975

    Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: One of the must-own soul albums, Greatest Hits is fattened with five extra tracks in this reissue. Al Green brought the Memphis Sound into the '70s by slightly softening it, melding smooth funkiness with his miraculous voice and innate sensitivity: his love songs, while perfect for the bedroom, are as conversational as they are blatantly seductive. By adding the likes of "Belle," a 1977 single that's a near-goodbye to the pop life, to the original lineup of "Let's Stay Together," "Look What You Done for Me," "Call Me," and the others, this edition of Greatest Hits also intriguingly fills out the story.

1.   Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love

     Starring: Sarita Choudhury, Naveen Andrews

     (1997) ~ DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: If you're looking for a deep, intelligently romantic movie with complex characters and a richly rewarding plot, don't bother with Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. On the other hand, if you're feeling sexy and in the mood for a lush, seductive, and visually stunning film set in 16th-century India, this one will please you like the best foreplay you've ever experienced. Or it will relax you like a full treatment at a pampering spa--either way, you're gonna feel pretty fantastic. Okay, okay... maybe we're getting a little carried away, but there's no denying that director Mira Nair (best known for her acclaimed film Salaam Bombay!) has crafted a sumptuous film for the eyes if not the head. Its melodramatic plot is involving enough to elevate the movie high above soft-core adult fare, so you won't feel guilty after watching it.

 

Kama Sutra is the story of a young woman named Maya (the stunning Indira Varma) who has always been lower on the social scale than her well-born friend Tara (Sarita Choudhury), and has always lived in Tara's shadow, wearing her used clothes and being made to feel inferior. When Tara is betrothed to the handsome King Raj Singh (Naveen Andrews, from The English Patient), Tara sneaks into the king's tent on the eve of the wedding and seduces him. Later, after being trained to master the Kama Sutra's many "lessons of love," Maya will be the king's courtesan, and emotions will run high between the former best friends. But the plot is of secondary importance here (a fact that resulted in many mixed reviews), and so Kama Sutra works best as a colorful and irresistibly sexy story that is worth seeing just for the startling beauty of the film and its cast.

 

 

2.   The Big Easy

    Starring: Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin

    (1987) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: This is the movie that caused Premiere magazine's mythical columnist Libby Gelman-Waxner to occasionally break into convulsive shouts of "Dennis! Dennis! Dennis!" Directed by Jim McBride (Great Balls of Fire!) and released in 1987, this New Orleans mystery-romance features Quaid and costar Ellen Barkin as sexy adversaries on opposite sides of a police scandal. While Quaid's grinning, seductive detective investigates a series of mob-related murders, Barkin's assistant district attorney looks into allegations of an entire cop force on the take--a charge that applies to the slick hero as well. The snappy, buoyant tone of cop camaraderie, the hoodoo lure of New Orleans culture, and the Cajun soundtrack (including a brief performance by Quaid) make this an enormously appealing film, while the ethical dilemma at the heart of the love story keeps one guessing about where things are going. The film includes a wonderful supporting performance by Ned Beatty, and a pre-stardom role for John Goodman.

 

 

3.   The Pillow Book

    Starring: Vivian Wu, Ewan McGregor

    (1997) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 3.6 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Peter Greenaway (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Drowning by Numbers) continues to delight and disturb us with his talent for combining storytelling with optic artistry. The Pillow Book is divided into 10 chapters (consistent with Greenaway's love of numbers and lists) and is shot to be viewed like a book, complete with tantalizing illustrations and footnotes (subtitles) and using television's "screen-in-screen" technology. As a child in Japan, Nagiko's father celebrates her birthday retelling the Japanese creation myth and writing on her flesh in beautiful calligraphy, while her aunt reads a list of "beautiful things" from a 10th-century pillow book. As she gets older, Nagiko (Vivian Wu) looks for a lover with calligraphy skills to continue the annual ritual. She is initially thrilled when she encounters Jerome (Ewan McGregor), a bisexual translator who can speak and write several languages, but soon realizes that although he is a magnificent lover, his penmanship is less than acceptable. When Nagiko dismisses the enamored Jerome, he suggests she use his flesh as the pages which to present her own pillow book. The film, complete with a musical score as international as the languages used in the narration, is visually hypnotic and truly an immense "work of art."
