The following ritual is steeped in womb wisdom, guiding us as we honour both the moon phase and our life-giving blood.If your period is absent, you can place your intention beneath a glass of moon water and follow the same process below:-Moon Menstruation Ritual- While bleeding, if you wear a menstrual cup or use sea sponges or tampons or pads, or if you’re able to collect your blood in any other way, transfer it into a small sacred bowl.- You can also rinse out your (hopefully organic!) tampons or pads too and use a bowl of blood-infused water instead. – Choose an affirmation or intention you want to integrate.- Write it both on a small piece of paper and in your journal or somewhere you will be able to keep it in your awareness. (Some other ways to keep it in your immediate awareness are post-it notes or as your phone background or computer wallpaper/screensaver).- Once written, slip the piece of paper underneath the bowl of your menstrual blood. – Allow it to energetically charge the liquid.- In the meantime, dig a small hole in your garden or a pot plant.- You can also just fill a small bag or pot with soil and use this instead.- Place the piece of paper, folded, in the hole before pouring in your menstrual blood.- Give thanks to Mother Gaia and those who guide you, and request your intention or affirmation manifests.- Once done, this is then the time to release any expectations and surrender to the process (a vital part of any ritual!)
