Warded Womb

Sadhana

The Indians have a story about a snake-demoness who destroys a pregnant woman's embryo and replaces it with one of her own spawn, so the woman give birth to a snake. Through an oblation of milk and ghee and an amulet of lead, a sadhu can ban the snake-demoness from a woman's womb and guarantee that she delivers a safely human child.
System: Correctly performed, the ritual protects a pregnant woman against miscarriage and guarantees an easy delivery of a healthy child. It also eradicates any supernatural taint from the infant. Progeny of werewolves, werecats or (most particularly) the weresnakes of India do not inherit any supernatural heritage (though Storytellers using Werewolf: The Apocalypse are advised to either increase this ritual's level or remove it altogether). The ritual also negates the condition of being born a revenant and the potential for any other innate supernatural talent other than True Faith.
