 According to the Mayan religion, in addition to receiving dreams and visions, women also tend to find small items in paths that are symbols and objects related to midwifery.The objects are often small unusual stones that resemble the shape of a face, shells, marbles or broken fragments of archaeological figurines.Stones are often given sacred powers in the Maya religion and are believed to be sent from the spiritual world as a sign of one's calling to midwifery.
