Traditionally the almond symbolized female/Goddess powers and the pepper,male/God powers. The almond is also believed by many Italian traditions to protect against female disorders and the 'corno' or pepper in this case male disorders. It is still customary for the bride and bride-groom to hand out 'bonbonniere' to their wedding guests (a small keepsake with candy wrapped in tulle). This custom evolved from the bride receiving candy-coated almonds, commonly called 'confetti' to ward off infertility.

This is a very simple spell.

The cut-out of a butterfly symbolizes contacting souls. In this case a soul that wishes to incarnate.

Make a a little pouch with the white fabric just large enough to contain the above-mentioned items.

Place both locks of hair, the pepper, the almond and the butterfly in the pouch. Sew it closed, all the while focusing on your intent to conceive a child.

Place it under the couple's bed where it will not be disturbed.

When the child is born, bury the pouch in Mother Earth and give her thanks.
