Carmenta’s Divination Spread

On This Day

Carmenta is derived from the Latin carmen, meaning a magic spell, oracle, or song. It is also the root of the English word charm.

She protected mothers and acted as patron saint of midwives. Pregnant women offered Carmenta rice for a safe delivery, while those desiring fruitfulness ate raspberries to internalize her fertility.
