I bless you with my Menstrual Blood

I’ve talked about the love/hate relationship that I have with my menstrual blood in a previous post, and how I’m recently getting away from the idea that it’s gross and nasty.


It took 10 years of voodoo and witchcraft studies to make me realize that my Menstrual Blood is actually a powerful and positive tool.


The book “Blood, Bread & Roses, How Menstruation created the world” by Judy Grahn says;


“Menstrual blood is the only source of blood that is not traumatically induced. Yet in modern society, this is the most hidden blood, the one so rarely spoken of and almost never seen, except privately by women, who shut themselves in a little room to quickly and in many cases disgustedly change their pads and tampons, wrapping the bloodied cotton so it won’t be seen by others, wrinkling their faces at the odor, flushing or hiding the evidence away”.


During slavery times the voodoo practicing slave women would put Menstrual Blood in their Masters Food and drinks to keep him loyal. This is still a popular voodoo practice today, but should be used with caution.


Even the Native Americans knew the power of Menstrual Blood. It is said that Several Native American cultures consider women in menses to be at the HEIGHT of her powers. For instance, the Lakota tribe would not permit a menstrual woman anywhere near warriors or healers. They believed that menstrual blood was so powerful that just the presence of such power would weaken the strength of warriors and interfere with a healer’s ability to heal. The menstrual blood serves to purify, to cleanse, renew, and it prepares the woman for higher spiritual accomplishments. The Yurok, and Lakota tribes practiced monthly rituals by retreating into MOON lodges with other menstrual women. There they celebrated the power of their menstrual blood.


It is even said that menstrual Blood is good for plants. Collect your menstrual Blood in an INSTEAD softcup and mix a little water with it, then pour the mixture onto your plants and on the dirt, and viola, you got healthy plants.


Ahhh, the power of Aunt Flow!
