“Tying the knot” is a reference to the tradition of “handfasting”, where a couple’s hands would be bound together as part of the ceremony. The tying of knots on the bed is a good example of Sympathetic Magic (James Fraser, the Golden Bough.) In Ancient Greece and Rome, all knots in the home were undone during a birth as a way to “open up” the passage, to make sure a baby wouldn’t get stuck or “knotted up.” There is a myth where the goddess of childbirth is asked by Hera to cross her legs so one of Zeus’ (many) children can’t be born, but she is tricked into standing and uncrossing her legs, and when that happens the baby is finally born after a long labor.

Should have given y’all like five more seconds of listening, since Jeffrey discusses this. But I’m curious about tying knots as a way of preventing pregnancy. If only it were that easy!
