Bleeding With the Moon: The Magic of Full Moon & New Moon Periods
Have you ever noticed your menstrual cycle syncing with the Full Moon or New Moon?
This isn't just a coincidence — it’s an ancient rhythm rooted in feminine wisdom. In fact, your moon-aligned menstruation is a sacred phenomenon that connects you to the Earth, the cosmos, and yourself.
By understanding the Red Moon and White Moon cycles, you can reclaim your Moon Time, reconnect with your womb, and honour the magic of your menstrual cycle and cyclical feminine nature.
Whether you bleed on the Full Moon, the New Moon, or somewhere in between, this awareness can guide you toward deeper self-understanding, empowerment, and feminine embodiment.
The Red and White Moon Cycle: A Deeper Connection to Your Feminine Rhythm
The Red Moon and White Moon cycles create a profound connection between your menstrual cycle and the lunar phases, offering a sacred pathway for feminine healing, empowerment, and transformation.
These cycles lie at the heart of the Moonblood Mysteries — ancestral wisdom preserved by full moon priestesses, womb shamans, and keepers of menstrual magic.
Mapping Your Menstrual Cycle to the Moon
Begin by tracking your menstrual cycle and bleeding patterns in alignment with the lunar phases. Some women bleed with the New Moon, others with the Full Moon — and many shift between phases from cycle to cycle. This is perfectly natural.
There’s no right or wrong way. Each cycle is uniquely yours, offering a sacred opportunity to honour your body’s wisdom and feminine rhythms.
By observing your Moon Time, you tap into the power of menstrual magic, deepening your connection to your inner rhythms and the natural cycles of the Moon and Earth.
This sacred practice transforms menstrual cycle tracking into a Moon Time guide — a portal for embodiment, renewal, and profound feminine empowerment.
Full Moon Menstruation Magic: The Red Moon Cycle
If you bleed during the Full Moon, you are experiencing the Red Moon Cycle — a sacred rhythm of full moon menstruation magic. This cycle embodies the archetype of the wise, intuitive, and creative woman, who channels inner wisdom, healing energy, and transformative power through her menstrual cycle.
Traditionally, women who bleed on the Full Moon were seen as witches and medicine women, embodying deep intuition and powerful healing energy. To bleed on the full moon is to walk the path of visibility and service — sharing your gifts with the world while staying rooted in your cyclical nature.
Even though the Full Moon phase can ignite creativity and self-expression, it’s essential to honour your body’s need for rest during the first days of your period. While the moon invites expansion, your bleed calls for inward reflection and self-care. After this sacred pause, your energy naturally rises with the solar phase, fuelling manifestation, aligned action, and creative expression.
⏾ Full Moon Menstruation Rituals: Align Your Period with Lunar Energy
Harness the sacred energy of the Full Moon to connect with your womb, release what no longer serves you, and invite creativity, intuition, and transformation into your life. These rituals help you honour your menstrual cycle as a powerful source of feminine wisdom.
1. Offer Your Blood to the Earth
Return your menstrual blood to the Earth as an ancient, grounding ritual. Using a menstrual cup or reusable pad, collect and dilute your blood with water, then pour it at the base of a tree or into the soil. This practice honours your body, fertilises the Earth, and celebrates the sacred cycle of life, creating a bridge between your Moon Time and nature.
2. Moon Bath for Reconnection
Infuse your bath with intention and sacred herbs such as rose petals, mugwort, or lavender. As you soak, focus on cleansing, releasing, and reconnecting to your womb as a sacred portal of feminine energy. Visualise everything you’re ready to release flowing out of your body with the water — a ritual that supports emotional, spiritual, and cyclical alignment.
3. Candle + Creation Ritual
Set up a sacred space under the Full Moon or indoors with candles. After resting, journal on prompts like:
What am I being called to create?
What wants to be expressed through me?
This ritual connects your menstrual cycle to your creative and intuitive power, allowing you to align your intentions with the expansive energy of the Full Moon.

New Moon Menstruation Magic: The White Moon Cycle
This sacred cycle invites you inward — a time of deep rest, spiritual renewal, and rebirth.
Bleeding with the New Moon often signals an inward journey, aligning your body with the moon’s pull into the dark, fertile void - creating a powerful window for reflection, shadow work, and inner transformation.
Instead of focusing on planning or outward action, use this time to honour stillness. Your womb calls you to slow down, connect with your intuition, and let insight and clarity arise naturally from the quiet magic of the New Moon.
⏾ New Moon Bleed Rituals
A sacred time to turn inward, release what no longer serves, and plant the seeds of your future growth.
1. Create a Womb Altar
Design a sacred space to honour your bleed, your womb, and your lineage. Include a small bowl of water, a few drops of your menstrual blood, crystals like moonstone or obsidian, herbs, or images of your maternal ancestors.
Sit with your altar daily during your bleed. Speak your intentions aloud, or simply sit in silence — your presence is a powerful offering.
2. Womb Meditation & Inner Listening
Place your hand on your womb. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and ask:
“What do you need right now?”
“What vision is ready to be planted through me?”
Allow sensations, emotions, images, or words to surface. Your womb holds deep feminine wisdom and speaks in whispers. Trust her voice.
3. Menstrual Blood Offering to the Earth
Collect your blood in a cup or on cloth, and return it to the earth — at the base of a tree, in your garden, or any sacred space.
Whisper your intentions like seeds into the soil. Your blood carries life-force — let it nourish the dreams and manifestations you are calling forth.
