The Twelve Gifts of Birth

By Charlene Costanzo

Once upon a time, a long time ago when princes and princesses live in faraway kingdoms, royal children were give twelve special gifts when they were born. You may have heard the stories. Twelve wise women of the kingdom, or fairy godmothers as they were often called travelled swiftly to the castle whenever a new prince or princess came into the world. Each fairy godmother pronounced a noble gift upon the royal baby.

As time went on, the wise women came to understand that the twelve royal gifts of birth belong to every child, born anywhere, at anytime. They yearned to proclaim the gifts to all children, but the customs of the land did not allow that.

One day when the wise women gathered together they made this prophecy.

Some day all the children of the world will learn the truth about their noble inheritance. When that happens a miracle will unfold on the kingdom of earth.

Some day is near.

Here is the secret they wanted you to know.

At the wondrous moment you were born as you took your first breath, a great celebration was held in the heavens and twelve magnificent gifts were granted to you.

The first gift is strength ~ May you remember to call upon it whenever you need it.

The second gift is beauty ~ May your deeds reflect its depth.

The third gift is courage ~ May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.

The fourth gift is Compassion ~ May you be gentle with yourself and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes.

The fifth gift is Hope ~ Through each passage and season, may you trust the goodness of life.

The sixth gift is Joy ~ May it keep your heart open and filled with light.

The seventh gift is Talent ~ May you discover your own special abilities and contribute them toward a better world.

The eighth gift is Imagination ~ May it nourish your visions and dreams

The ninth is Reverence ~ May you appreciate the wonder that you are and the miracle of all creation.

The tenth gift is Wisdom ~ Guiding you way, wisdom will lead you through knowledge to understanding. May you hear its soft voice.

The eleventh gift is love ~ It will grow each time you give it away.


The twelfth gift is Faith ~ May you believe.

Now you know about your twelve gifts of birth. But there is more to the secret that the wise women knew.

Use your gifts well and you will discover others among them a gift that us uniquely you. See these noble gifts in other people. Share the truth and be ready for the miracle to unfold as the prophecy of the wise women comes true.

"May you stay forever young"

Thanks for the bump Juni,

How divine all these gifts are.

For many years these gifts had been kept in their boxes. Then somebody told me that beautiful things are meant to be used not just looked at. How right they were. So now I have fetched them all back out, and thrown the boxes in the bin.
