Fertility symbols have been discovered in almost nearly all cultures around the globe for thousands of years. From Chinese fertility symbols, Native American and Celtic fertility symbols these cultures have long surrounded themselves with pictures, images, carvings as well as fertility jewelry as a way to commemorate and increase their own fertility levels. As a way to celebrate the joyous renewal of life these ancient fertility symbols have long been considered to possess the power to ensure the survival and continuation of generations to come.

For centuries many cultural societies have prayed to their fertility god or goddess in the hopes the women within the village were fertile enough to bear the fruit of many children. Fertility symbols and stones adorned the women's gardens, bedrooms and garments in the hopes that the energy held deep within the symbol would cause a transformation in her body using its regenerative forces. The belief was that the symbols could enhance the overall quality of her reproduction health and well-being, boost her level of fertility and encourage the atmosphere well suited for conception.

In a great many ancient drawings and carvings the symbols of the spiral and double spiral are demonstrative as a way to describe the cycle of life, from the beginning, the end and the renewed beginning again. Modern day symbols of the spiral and double spiral include shells and snails.

In today's world we still surround ourselves with these fertility symbols. Of the many symbols, a few of these symbols would include the cats, rain, lotus flower, the moon, peacocks, parrots, terra-cotta elephants, frogs and eggs. Most symbols for instance a lotus flower and rain symbolize the on coming growing season and the coincidental fertility levels rise with the coming of rain awakening the earth and begin to make the plants grow which provides a bounty of food for the community to guarantee its survival.
