一个孕妇在森林里遇到了一只狼。她是如此害怕，以至于她强烈的恐惧情绪在她子宫里的胎儿上留下了狼的形态痕迹。另一位孕妇非常渴望草莓或樱桃，以至于她在胎儿身上留下了这些水果的某些印记或印象。在现代早期，人们普遍认为，母亲的情感力量，如欲望和恐惧，可以在胎儿身上留下某些印记、迹象或签名。文艺复兴时期的哲学家如马尔西利奥·菲奇诺（Marsilio Ficino，1433-1499）和彼得罗·庞波纳齐（Pietro Pomponazzi，1462-1525）采纳了这一观点，他们将其与传统的想象力理论紧密联系起来。此外，关于特殊妇女群体（通常被称为女巫和治疗师）所发挥的神秘和非凡的精神力量的民间故事可能加强了这种信念，有助于传播她们的力量可以超越自然秩序的想法。
A pregnant woman encounters a wolf in the woods. She is so scared that her strong emotion of fear imprints the wolf’s morphological traces on the fetus in her womb. Another pregnant woman craves strawberries or cherries so intensely that she leaves certain marks or impressions of these fruits on the fetus. The belief that the power of maternal emotions such as desire and fear can imprint certain marks, signs or signatures on the fetus was widespread in the early modern period. This belief was adopted by Renaissance philosophers such as Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) and Pietro Pomponazzi (1462–1525), who intimately connected it to the traditional theory of imagination orphantasia. Moreover, folkloric tales about the mysterious and extraordinary psychic powers exerted by special groups of women, who were often labeled as witches and healers, might have reinforced this belief, contributing to the propagation of the idea that their forces could exceed the order of nature.
