The Spiritual Placenta | Davana May | The Higher Self
From the comments.... I'm an Indonesian. According to my culture and tradition "Sedulur Papat Limo Pancer" the placenta has supranatural powers (spiritual brother for the baby). So here in Indonesia, when a baby is born the placenta is automatically handed by the family. Based on our traditions the placenta will be cleaned, treated with special rituals/mantra, planted in the ground, and given a light as a form of respect and honor for God and the universe;)
